Sometimes a room may seem quite dark for various reasons.
However, there are some proven methods that can help correct the situation.
Interior design and interior expert Yulia Tychino explained how to make a dark room more comfortable.
Correct colors
For such rooms it is worth choosing a light color scheme.
Otherwise, the room will appear very gloomy.
Moreover, in this situation, it is not only the walls that should be made light.
It is advisable to give preference to such shades in finishing furniture and floors.
Light sources
If there is not enough natural light in the room, you can make up for the lack with artificial sources.
However, you should not limit yourself to built-in and recessed ceiling lights.
To make the room seem more comfortable, you can install various table lamps, floor lamps and sconces.
It is only advisable in this case to choose soft and warm light.
Free up space by the window
In a poorly lit room, you shouldn't clutter the space around the window.
After all, this way the light will penetrate the room worse.
Therefore, it is better not to place any large furniture or other bulky elements here.
Mirrors and glossy surfaces
This technique helps to visually make any space larger.
Therefore, you need to pay attention to which areas of the room receive natural light and place reflective surfaces there.
For example, it could be a mirror or some glass or metal elements.
In addition, glossy surfaces can be placed near lamps. This will enhance their effect.
