Add windows to take advantage of natural light
Installing more windows is an effective way to increase natural light into the house and reduce the feeling of darkness. If the old window is dim or degraded, replacing it with a new window or larger window can make the room brighter and more spacious.
Keeping windows clean also helps light easily shine into the living space.
Rearranging furniture
Rearranging the sofa and furniture can help the room become more airy and brighter. You should prioritize bright furniture such as white or colors inspired by the sea.
For wooden furniture, you should choose light-colored wood such as pine, oak, or maple instead of dark-colored wood. Avoid placing furniture in front of the window so that light can spread throughout the room.
Utilize the lighting system
Besides natural light, table lamps, floor lamps or ray lights also help increase the brightness of the space. Indirect light can reflect from the ceiling, creating a feeling that the room is brighter and warmer.
Use light paint color
Bright colors such as cream, white, ivory, pastel, mint green or pale yellow have better light reflection than dark colors. Thanks to that, the space will become brighter and fresher.
Mirror decoration
Mirrors are decorative items that help reflect light and create a feeling that the room is wider. Hanging mirrors in a suitable position will help light spread throughout the space, and at the same time, increase depth for the interior.
