In a small master bedroom, it is key to keep it’s use concise. If you can, minimize the amount of furniture and locate the bed central to the room. Depending on design style, keep side tables to a small size or float shelves from the wall to visually free up floor space.

Breathe Easy: Healthy Home Living Advice

When it comes to the health and well-being of a home and its owners, windows and doors can play a major role. Homeowners can take a few simple steps to help create a healthy living environment. Choosing the right windows and doors and using them properly contributes to a home’s indoor environment. If used correctly, they provide necessary elements such as fresh air and natural light, and ensure that indoor environment and climate systems work as effectively as possible.

Create ventilation.

They don’t call it fresh air for nothing. Weather permitting, windows should be opened for 30 minutes a day, twice a day. However, opening access to the outdoors calls for screens that keep out debris and insects.

Control mold.

A little mold in the home can turn into a large problem if not stopped. Preventing moisture is a key step in the fight against mold, and windows and doors are the first line of defense in stopping water from entering your home. To prevent water from seeping in, make sure windows and doors are installed correctly and sealed tight, and consider upgrading to windows with dual-pane insulated glass to reduce the condensation that can build up during winter months. Using exhaust fans, opening windows and doors frequently and enhancing airflow with proper roof ventilation are also important steps in moisture control.
