It is not always obvious to decorate a room facing north or a bathroom without windows. Some dark rooms simply do not have good artificial or natural lighting.
However, it is possible to rectify the situation with some of the best decoration tricks.
Here are 12 ways to illuminate a dark room you should know.
1. Get the right color on your walls.
Unfortunately, white walls are not always the ideal solution to illuminate a dark room. Choose an iridescent paint or a metallic wallpaper that reflects light.
2. Install something to distract the eye.
Glue a giant poster to your wall to give depth and clarity to your room. Take pictures of oceans, clouds or clear spaces in order to have maximum luminosity.
3. Multiply lighting sources
Do not hesitate to have several sources of lighting, be it lamps or garlands. You will never have too much light and you can always variate.
4. Opt for clear and pale furniture
Opt for light and low furniture. You do not want to give an impression of “overload” to your piece.
5. Think light for your curtains
Forget opaque curtains as well as the double curtains. Place light curtains in your dark room. You can also not install curtains if you have the possibility.
6. Always include mirrors
Install a mirror on a wall in front of a window. You will thus catch a lot of light.
7. Decorate your room with trinkets.
Have some sparkling trinkets to attract the light.
8. Opt for a shiny coating
To illuminate your room, nothing better than a glossy flooring (a laminate flooring, tile or a glossy lino). Avoid a dark and dull coating.
9. Have a light and thin carpet
If you like carpets, choose yours light and thin to open the size of your room.
10. Contrast the colors
To get more luminosity, paint your room with contrasting colors. You can, for example, have beige walls and a white ceiling.
11. Remove partitions
Remove unnecessary bulkheads using a specialist. You will have more space and brightness.
12. Skylight is the best!
