Natural light has always been an essential element for our nature and human civilization. During the day, sunlight provides ample illumination that obviates the need for artificial light. This natural light also brings out the colors of your home furniture beautifully. However, it’s worth noting that this light can also cause UV rays to penetrate the house, which can potentially harm indoor furniture. Sunlight fades the bright colors of beds, sofas and other furniture. 

Here are six ideas on how to protect furniture from sun damage. 

Ways To Protect Furniture From Sun Damage

1. Hide and seek with sunlight

The first suggestion is pretty straight forward. Keep your furniture away from sunlight. This is the easiest and most effective way for long-lasting furniture while maintaining quality and color. To prevent damage to your furniture caused by harmful UV rays from the sun, it’s best to avoid placing them in direct sunlight.

If a piece of furniture is left in the same place for many days in a row, it can become stained. Damage can also occur to the underside of the furniture. This problem can also be solved by swapping places.

3. Solution on curtains 

A simple solution to protect your furniture from the harmful effects of the sun, without rearranging the entire room, is to install blackout curtains on windows and doors. For this technique to work, curtains must cover all windows and doors and ensure that even the smallest amount of light does not enter.
