Light in the city can often be quite harsh. Especially as many high rise buildings and apartments are made of very reflective metal and glass. It can be quite breathtaking to see buildings like this, but it can also be a bit difficult if you are living next to one.
If you want to live in the centre of London you will realistically need to live in a very tall and very shiny apartment block. This doesn't necessarily mean that you will be blinded by the reflection of the block next door, but it might happen.
The other slight drawback of living in an apartment is space – it can be limited which means that having full curtains will take up much needed space. But instead of curtains you can have blinds from www.kellyhoppenshutters.com
Curtains can be very bulky, and often get dusty. They are a mission to clean. Curtains can also look a bit old fashioned in the newer apartments. Blinds however take up much less space than curtains do, and they can create a clean and modern feel for your apartment.
Blinds are simple to clean and keep dust free and they let in only as much sunlight as you want them to. Adjusting them to let the maximum amount of light in or closing them slightly and dimming the light entering the room.
