When considering how to brighten up a dark room, the most obvious way isn\u2019t always the most feasible \u2014 you can\u2019t always install new windows to let in more sunlight. On the bright side (pun intended), you <\/span>can <\/span><\/i>brighten a dark room through decorative changes<\/span>, transforming its entire feel.<\/span><\/p>\n When you need to transform dark and dreary into light and airy, here are some of the biggest difference makers:<\/span><\/p>\n Since white is the brightest color out there, it is the best paint color for a naturally dark room. It\u2019s the kind of color that goes with anything, so it\u2019s not hard to match it with your d\u00e9cor. While some might say white is a boring choice, it creates an optimistic atmosphere. As soon as you set foot in a white room, you\u2019re more likely to feel a sense of order, cleanliness and general happiness.<\/span><\/p>\n You don\u2019t have to stop at the walls when you\u2019re painting a room. The ceiling is an underutilized surface that matters just as much as any wall. A white ceiling makes rooms feel significantly taller than they otherwise would. <\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s important to note that not all whites are the same \u2014 shades such as ivory or off-white are nice in their own right, but when the goal is creating a brighter atmosphere, bright white is the way to go.<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re renting or otherwise unable to paint, you may want to consider using white <\/span>peel-and-stick wallpaper<\/span>, which <\/span>is renter friendly<\/span> since it leaves no residue behind.<\/span><\/p>\n There is a huge difference between heavy furniture and light furniture, at least when it comes to the feel of a room. Furniture that features extensive woodwork might look luxurious and elegant, but in a room that lacks significant sunlight, it can create a drab ambiance. The same goes for furniture that is stuffed to the brim. A room with limited light will feel even more constrained if the majority of space is taken up by furniture.<\/span><\/p>\n With limited light, a little bit of minimalism goes a long way. Instead of heavy couches, recliners or coffee tables, choose thinner, lighter and brighter options for your room. With today\u2019s contemporary design tastes, it shouldn\u2019t be difficult to find a sleek item without unnecessary frills. For example, look at a light, glass coffee table instead of dark, wood options, as it will be extra mobile and light will pass right through it. <\/span><\/p>\nGet Painting<\/h2>\n
