Lamps and more to illuminate a dull space

Most designers do not use a set
of rulebooks to create the perfect design for a room.  Actually, good designers do not work on
rules but rather are guided by their instincts to know what is right and what
is not.  These instincts are based on
many years of experience in handling different types of room decor.  What such a designer will advise on
decorating a room is that lighting accounts for a greater proportion of the
elegance of a room.

Lamps and more account for
the amount of light in a room.  For
example, apart from the lights, the color of the walls, furniture and windows
make the presence of a room brighter. 
Here are some more tips to brighten up your
room.

Mirrors

The
use of mirrors is one of the fastest ways to light up a space without digging
into the pockets for an extra crown. 
Including mirrors in your decor is a great way to light up any room,
especially if you have a small room. 
Mirrors reflect the little available light in the room to make a space
shine even without proper lights in place. 
If a full wall mirror is not an option for you, you may want to
consider a table mirror.  Place it next
to a bright light source in the room, such as a lamp, a window or a
door.

Painting

Colors on the walls play a bigger
role than just adding to the interior design of the space.  Color can also be used to illuminate a dull
or dark room provided the color used is light and neutral.  A good painting that can light up a space
is white or gray, especially when used in the ceiling.  A white ceiling not only lights up the
space but also makes the room brighter and more
airy.

Curtains

The
use of light curtains in a room can play a big role in lighting up a dull
space.  You can consider using creamy
white or light yellow curtains for windows if the windows need to be
covered.

Windows

If you live in an apartment
building, this option can be difficult if you do not consult the
landlords.  Otherwise, consider adding
an extra window in the direction of the sunrise to feel the soothing rays of
the morning sun for your own home.  If
you already have windows in place, you can consider increasing the
sizes.
