Different direction of your windows can provide different levels of lighting.

This a 2 in 1 kinda bundle, the information you are about to read, could also help with those Instagram selfie lighting!

Window Sunlight 101

Normally, there are 3 main levels of indirect light for plants:

Direction of the window facing:

Windows facing south can receive the most direct sunlight.
Windows facing west get sunlight during mornings at normal medium level. But they do receive about 4 to 6 hours of intense and bright sunlight during the afternoon.
Windows facing east can provide bright indirect light for most of the day throughout much of the year. However, between late spring and early autumn- they can also receive direct sunlight .
Windows facing north never have bright, direct sunlight. (so leave a spot for your Gothic plants here!)

Suggestion for solving the bright light problem:

Move a few feet away from the windows, if you don't like how it looks then place it back next to the window when you get home- it won't be much of an eye-sore when you're at work or outta home when the sun hits the hardest.
Or cover the window with a sheer curtain to filter the light.

Or you don't get any sun?
