Problem

Direct, unbroken sunlight can glare and give a room a harsh quality — where light falls unfiltered through plain clear glass, it tends to unsettle rather than comfort.

Solution

Let daylight pass through leaves, curtains, or slender glazing bars before it reaches a room, so it arrives soft and scattered rather than striking the eye as raw glare.
