Focus on white
This is the most important ingredient… When it comes to brightness and freshness, the first thing that comes to mind is natural white. You can make a significant contribution to creating a brighter environment by using white in your low-light rooms, especially on the walls and simple furniture.
Use mirrors
Mirrors that reflect light indoors help create a brighter environment. You can achieve a more spacious look by positioning a mirror correctly – for example in front of a window.
Colorful carpets/carpets
Especially in rooms with dark-toned surfaces, you can choose carpets and rugs in strong colors to create a stylish contrast and to break up the dark tones as much as possible.
Choose light wood tones
Light wood tones are colors that soften interiors and provide a bright effect. By choosing light wood tones in pieces such as tables, coffee tables and chairs, you can contribute to a more spacious environment.
Don’t forget to capture the contrast
Although it wouldn’t be good if a room was decorated exclusively in dark tones, completely light tones can also be disturbing to the eye. Balance your space with occasional dark details. In addition, this allows you to highlight bright areas more easily.
Make sure the walls are not too crowded
Too many paintings and accessories that you hang on the walls will absorb light. Therefore, remember that you can achieve a more spacious appearance by keeping your walls as blank as possible.
Prefer matte, not shiny surfaces
That might sound a bit strange. But when it comes to light reflection – what you need to pay most attention to in order to make the room appear brighter – shiny surfaces shine in spots, while matt surfaces distribute light evenly in all directions. Therefore, try to prefer mainly matte surfaces.
