How to make your room brighter
A dark and gloomy room gives off a depressing vibe when you step in. To let in more light, you don't need to tear down walls to make more windows! Just do these:
1. Repaint the walls: Dark walls tend to absorb natural light from the room. So repaint with fresh coat of white paint or even pastel colors such as yellow pale.
2. Hang mirrors: Get a few large or medium size mirrors.Hang one facing the light source such as the window or door, and place the rest around the room.
3. Color the furniture: Just as dark walls absorb light, so will the furniture. Change the shades of your furniture by repainting them in lighter color.
4. Change the covers: If you don't want to repaint the furniture, a very easy alternative is to change the slip over of the sofas, throw pillows, tables and chair to lighter colors.
5. Add lights: Another stylish option is to add floor lamps or install uplights and let their glow bounce off the ceiling and back into the room. You may want to consider using full-spectrum light bulbs, the glow closely resembles real sunlight!
