If you’re in need of dark room ideas, there are plenty of options for lighting up a space. Whether a space has obstructed windows or no windows at all, there are design secrets you can use to bring light inside. Here are some tips to brighten a dark room:
Decorating with mirrors is a tried-and-true strategy for increasing the amount of natural light in a space. Using a mirror is especially helpful for rooms with awkwardly placed windows or very limited light sources.
By reflecting light around the room with mirrors, you can make the entire space seem brighter. Try experimenting with different shapes and sizes of mirrors, or consider creating a mirrored gallery wall.
Layered lighting is a key concept in interior design and one that can significantly help dark rooms. With the perfect balance of ambient lighting, task lighting and accent lighting, even the darkest rooms can brighten up considerably.
For ambient lighting, try recessed lights or a large floor lamp for soft, diffused illumination. Add task lighting with table lamps to key areas like desks, side tables and vanities.
If you have a specific feature you want to highlight, consider using a spotlight to make it a focal point while also brightening up the room.
Color choice can have a massive impact and make a dark room brighter. If you’re struggling to brighten a room with dark flooring or walls, consider a quick renovation.
White paint on the walls will reflect light much more efficiently than darker shades, and a light area rug can brighten the floor. Try to limit the amount of dark furnishings and accessories in the room to make the most of the available light.
