The level of lighting depending on cardinal directions.

Natural light is caused by direct sunlight and diffused light of the sky and plays a huge role in a humans life. It is the health, peaceful sleep and good mood. Lightning depends on the size of the windows, their design and purity of glass. Another important point is the orientation of windows in relation to the cardinal directions. 

The light on the East side is soft and penetrates inside the room, so it is recommended for the bedroom window to face the East. The soft rays of the sun provide a restful sleep, give the opportunity to relax and create an intimate atmosphere.

The interior with windows facing North, will be lit evenly, without contrasts, so the colors used in these rooms will look natural. However, note that the length of the solar day will be quite short, especially in the winter. In the North, in most projects there is an entrance area, also often good to locate kitchen here or utility room.

Bright southern light will allow the interior to be literally bathed in sunlight during the day, so the living room should be placed In the South and most of the day these premises will be well lit and there will be created a favorable atmosphere in which the residents can relax.

From West it is  better to plan the location of the dining room or office. Powerful rays of the sun can provide energetic atmosphere in the midday time.
