| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody. I'm Kelly Wilfness here with Anita Joyce, and this is Decorating Tips and Tricks Plus. |
| 0:14.3 | It's another DTT Plus where you get more of us. Today, we are discussing North Facing Room Solutions. North facing rooms are |
| 0:24.4 | not necessarily all doom and gloom. There are ways to make them work beautifully, and we're going to |
| 0:31.5 | share our thoughts with you today. That's right. I think this would also apply to a room that just doesn't have a very large window. |
| 0:41.1 | We're really talking about a room that just does not get a lot of light for whatever reason. |
| 0:46.8 | Yeah, and sometimes people want to just treat them like all the other rooms in the house, |
| 0:52.0 | but they're different because of this lack of natural light. |
| 0:57.0 | We all know what natural light can do to a space, makes it really cozy and warm, |

| 1:39.1 | that's not getting a lot of natural light. And oftentimes that is a north north-facing room. The beauty of some north-facing |
| 1:46.8 | rooms in general is that they may have a number of windows, but they just are not getting |
| 1:54.0 | direct sunlight. But it's a lovely even light. Photographers and artists tend to like north facing light for maybe |
| 2:03.6 | there are studios or on they like days that are a little overcast, particularly for photography |
| 2:09.6 | because you don't have those harsh glares of the sun. So there's good things about north facing |
| 2:15.3 | light too, but you just have to be aware of what's |
| 2:18.2 | going on in your space so you can make the right choice of. |
| 2:20.9 | Yes, I think the first thing I would think about is adding some reflective material to the room. |
| 2:28.2 | So we're talking about glossy things, you know, metallics, things that are going to really catch that light and not absorb |
