I recently bought a three-bedroom apartment, and while most rooms feel bright and airy, one in particular turned out to be somewhat dim. Even though it has a window, it hardly receives enough sunlight during the day. So, I had this question in mind: how to get more natural light in a dark room? In order to artificially brighten the room, I am planning to place a mirror opposite the window, to reflect the small amount of natural light that enters.
How to Get More Natural Light into a Dark Room?
Apart from mirror, I am also planning to add:
Make use of warm lighting: I am planning to add soft orange or yellow lights to make the room bright.
Choose light coloured furniture: I have chosen a few neutral-hued furniture for that room to improve light distribution.
Incorporate a glossy finish: Applying a new coat of white gloss to your walls, trimmings, ceilings, and hard furniture can be an easy way to replicate natural light. This is due to the fact that, like mirrors, glossy coatings are known to reflect more light throughout the space. I have also bought a few decor items with a glossy or metallic surface, including vases, and metallic wall art.
Select basic lighting: I am planning to install concealed fittings or tiny ceiling lights to illuminate the space without adding bulk.
Sheer Curtains: I have ordered sheer curtains for that room, as they do not obstruct light in comparison to the blackout ones.
With these simple changes you can make your dark room look bright.
