How to Use Lighting to Brighten a Room

Dark spaces in a home convey an unfriendly, unapproachable space which reflects a distant and unwelcoming area.  Lighting, whether natural or from an appliance, can revamp a dull room to a welcoming area in your house.

There are some tips we have to brighten up those dark spaces;

1. Use the sun where possible - open up your blinds / curtains and let the sunlight brighten your room. Be careful though it doesn't damage wood!

2. Too much furniture is one of the reasons a room can look dark and uninviting, especially if the clutter is stopping people accessing parts of your home. Clearing the clutter will allow you to improve your house space.

3. The wallpaper and paint you use makes a huge difference. Use light colours to improve your house.

  1. So true! Our living room still doesn't have too much light, though, even with a huge window on the front wall. Do you think mirrors on the wall opposite the window would help?

  2. Hi Online,

    It would help to reflect the light but also using the light coloured furniture.

  3. Just want to add some creativity here... The room light can also be creative.... E.g. forget about rules and use table lamps like this: Creative vampire lamp or Creative wall lamps . Yay, designer goods can tell your rooms design not only remove dark places as it was suggested by the author.

    Also, to consider.... Do not remove dark places, just put several gothic wall lamps and your flat would be unexpectedly stylish :)
