Modern homes with spacious open-plan interior as well as large picture windows will be even more affected by their characteristic and seasonal changes. If there remains a living room with a patio or conservatory attached which remains used as an additional seating area during the summer but not in winter, the decor will have to be flexible enough to accommodate this changes. For people in doubt over lighting and color schemes some top interior designers suggest painting a room white before making a final color choice. This is a good way to observe how changes in natural light affect an interior as well as helps you make this most of it when choosing a color scheme. Window as well as walls will appear darker as they only receive reflected light; ceiling always looks darker than walls painted this same color. This effect of artificial lighting on curtains is better seen if a sample gauge of fabric is pleated and held upright. Put samples flat on the floor as well as move them around the room to see how different positions and lighting conditions can affect the color.
