Welcome home to Mountain View Apartments at RainDance, where bright, open spaces meet the beauty of Northern Colorado.

Use these four interior design tricks to boost the sunshine in your space, enhancing your mood and highlighting the high-end finishes that come standard in your new Windsor apartment.
Maximizing Light in Your Windsor Apartment
Reflect the Radiance with Strategic Mirrors
Mirrors are the oldest trick in the book for making a room look larger and brighter. Instead of placing a mirror randomly, position it directly across from or adjacent to a window. This placement ensures the glass bounces incoming sunlight deep into the heart of the room, effectively doubling the light source. Consider large, floor-length mirrors to maximize the surface area, transforming even the coziest floor plan into a sun-drenched sanctuary.
Use Sheer, Light-Colored Window Treatments
Heavy, dark draperies can absorb up to 80% of the natural light you receive. To strike the perfect balance, replace opaque curtains with sheer or semi-sheer fabrics in white, cream, or light pastels. These treatments diffuse the sunlight, reducing harsh glare while still allowing a soft, inviting glow to fill your rental apartment. This simple change protects your furniture and personal items from direct UV rays while keeping your home bright.
Choose Light Hues and Glossy Textures for Decor
The colors and textures of your furniture and walls play a huge role in how light interacts with your living space. Dark colors absorb light, making a room feel smaller and dimmer. Opt for light-colored furniture, white or pale gray area rugs, and decorative items with glossy, metallic, or glass finishes.
Declutter and Optimize Furniture Placement
A clear line of sight to the windows is crucial for light flow. Bulky furniture or tall plants placed directly in front of a window will cast shadows and block light from entering the room. Strategically move larger items to dark corners or walls to open up the room's perimeter. This adjustment not only increases natural illumination but also emphasizes the open, spacious design of your unit.
