Natural sunlight adds energy and aids in vitamin D production, boosts serotonin and endorphin levels. That’s why the orientation of your apartment, in relation to the sun, is so important.
Proper window exposure in your home will help regulate your circadian rhythm.
Check what to pay particular attention to when choosing an apartment.
East-facing windows
East-facing windows provide the most light from morning until around noon, while also not overheating the room.
That’s why kitchens are often designed on the east side.
A morning coffee in the sunlight, emitting plenty of stimulating blue light, will prepare you perfectly for the day ahead.
Check out Novisa investments with kitchen annexes on the east side – Miasto Ogród 2 or Zielono Mi.
It’s also a good idea to arrange the bedroom or children’s room in an east-facing room.
Sunbeams will peek in there from early morning, providing a pleasant natural wake-up.
For people working in a home office or hybrid mode, it’s important to prepare the workspace properly.
Many Novisa Development homes have a separate office or bedroom upstairs that can be arranged as an office.
It’s worth considering setting it up in an east-facing room so that you can enjoy natural sunlight for as long as possible during work.
West-facing windows
Rooms on the west side are usually living rooms with access to the garden. People often spend the second part of the day or weekend afternoons there, enjoying the warm sunlight. By noon, the sun begins to heat the room more strongly, making it especially pleasant in the evening.
It’s worth choosing an apartment or house with a garden on the west side, especially if you plan to grow vegetables. Whether they will be in pots, directly in the ground, or in mini greenhouses, the sun will start to warm them from noon onwards.

North-facing windows
The north side appears to be the least attractive when it comes to window exposure.
Rooms on this side are often associated with being dark and cold, which is why stairwells, bathrooms, or closets are often designed on the north side.
Many people value bedrooms that are not exposed to sunlight and are cooler.
Especially shift workers who often sleep during the day and those who don’t wake up early in the morning and dislike being awakened by sunlight.
A north-facing bedroom doesn’t heat up during the day like south or west-facing rooms, which positively affects the residents’ sleep.
South-facing windows
South exposure is excellent for both a living room with a kitchenette, a children’s room, as well as an office or garden.
Everywhere we spend time during the day, we appreciate natural light.
A south-facing office will provide stimulating light for practically the entire 8-hour workday, while a south-facing living room with a kitchenette will encourage family activities.
A garden well-lit throughout the day is an excellent place for light-loving plants or setting up a small greenhouse for warm-loving vegetables, such as tomatoes or peppers.
Nova Magdalenka 5 and Osiedle Natura estates have been designed with south-facing gardens and living rooms in mind for those who value them.
Architects at Novisa Development pay particular attention to ensuring proper sunlight exposure in the apartments, primarily by designing large windows.
Also important is the absence of tall buildings in the area, allowing the sunlight to reach all corners without obstruction from any skyscrapers.
The neighborhoods are intimate, often surrounded by forests and meadows, giving residents a sense of privacy to the extent that they often choose to forgo curtains and only install blinds with the evening in mind.
This approach allows for even better illumination of the apartments during the day with natural sunlight.
