How to make a dark room brighter

Dark rooms create a rather depressing and uncomfortable atmosphere. UAportal has prepared useful tips to make your room brighter and more spacious.

Light paint

One of the most effective ways to make a room light is to paint the walls in colors such as white, cream, light gray, etc. Choosing a glossy or semi-glossy finish can also increase the brightness of the room.

Mirrors

Proper placement of mirrors can also help brighten a dark room. They have the ability to reflect the sun's rays, making the room appear more spacious. A large mirror can be placed opposite the window, and small ones can be hung on the walls to diffuse natural light.

Furniture

The choice of furniture significantly affects the brightness of the room. Choose furniture in light colors. In addition, choosing sofas and armchairs with legs rather than a solid base allows light to pass under them, making the room look more spacious.

Other reflective surfaces

Decor made of reflective materials can significantly increase the brightness of a dark room. Metal, glass, or mirror accessories such as vases, picture frames, or decorative trays reflect the sun's rays and effectively increase the room's illumination. However, it is important not to overload the room to keep it spacious.
