How to make the room brighter and visually larger? Designers' advice. How to decorate the interior of a dark room in an apartment Bright curtains in a dark room
A dark room is like Tolstoy's unhappy family - all light rooms are good in the same way, each dark room is bad in its own way. If you got a room with a window facing north, with a window shaded by trees, with a small window, with a shaded balcony block, a long narrow room, an asymmetrical room - in general, if you got a dark room and need to make it lighter, then this article For you.
Here I will tell you how to make a dark room brighter in the daytime, in natural light, but I will not touch the electric light.
It is by no means necessary to use all the design techniques that I will talk about - choose the ones that work best for you and you like.
The first way to brighten a dark room is with a “white box” —white walls, a white ceiling, and a white floor. In photo 1, you see a kitchen that has a configuration in which daylight hits only part of the space, and the main part of the room is in the shade. The "white box" reflects more light.
Photo 1, 2 and 3
In photo 2, you see a room that may seem light - no, it's just that when photographing, a window with daylight always seems dazzlingly bright because the rest of the room is shaded. In fact, this room is very dark, if it were not for a white box, then it would receive almost no daylight, since the window is north and the room is asymmetrical. Due to the white color of the “box” (floor, walls, ceiling), it becomes much lighter.
The white ceiling in dark rooms has absolutely no alternative; the Russian consumer is gradually getting used to the white walls. But the white floor provokes a protest, because white is the most rarely used floor color in Russia.
But a dark room with a white floor becomes noticeably brighter, the difference is very noticeable. And besides, the “white box” is not only a way to reflect maximum daylight into the room. This is also a way to make a narrow room visually spacious, especially if the furniture is also white, as in the photo above. Sounds awful (everything is white), but it works!
Photo 3 is a very dark narrow room that, in any color other than white, would be just a crypt. White floors, ceilings and furniture make it lighter in the daytime and more elegant in the evening when the electric light is on.
If a white floor is combined with white walls and white furniture, then the room becomes both brighter and visually more spacious. Then the lack of contrast and transition between background surfaces (floor, walls, ceiling) and furniture makes the space more homogeneous (the boundaries of the room seem to blur), and, in turn, because of this, the space seems wider.
The room in photo 4 appears to be large and light. In fact, it is small and not very well lit - there is one tall narrow window and two very small ones, the total area of the windows is small. But with white walls, floors and white furniture, a completely different impression is created. Paint the walls, floors, and furniture in your mind and you'll know the difference.
Dark apartments have white floors, white doors and white walls in all rooms. Everyone immediately thought about the soiled in the hallway and corridor. But modern materials (tiles, linoleum, veneer, washable wallpaper and resistant paint) are very easy to wash and do not lose their appearance for a long time. Well, yes, you will have to wash more often. But it will be clean and light 🙂
Many people are afraid of the “white box” solution, and even more so the “white box with white furniture” solution, because it seems very sterile, boring and “hospital-like”. But to avoid the “white silence” in the interior is simple - add bright accessories and medium-sized furniture of bright colors, as in photo 5-8. If you don't like bright colors, just use more details (photos 9 and 10).
For dark rooms with low ceilings, the "white box" is very much shown - among other things, such a design of the background surfaces also creates the feeling that the room is easy to breathe, this is very important in small rooms. To avoid boredom, use a variety of decor, from which white lace is especially shown - lace, carving, macrame, patterns on glass, etc.
In photo 12, you can see the most beautiful headboard, which greatly adorns a small dark room (note the height of the ceiling) and does not absorb light at all. That is, the room remains white, it does not even use additional colors, but it certainly cannot be called boring.
Photo 12, 13 and 14
So the first way to maximize daylight illumination in a dark room is with a white box. If the room is small, then the furniture and part of the decor can also be made white. For decoration, you can use several bright accessories or accessories of calm tones, but in large quantities.
If this method is completely unacceptable for you, modify it: use the lightest colors you can stand for background spaces, curtains and large furniture. Add to them white elements and accessories in rich colors, as in photo 11. This will help to reflect as much as possible of the incoming daylight. Contrast-bright elements are needed to give the interior clarity, as in photos 13, 14 and 15, but there should not be too many of them - literally two or three.
Photo 16, 17 and 18
What colors are suitable for walls in dark rooms? From cold: light blue, light green and mint, light turquoise, light light pink - these colors reflect a lot of light. But light lilac, light blue and light gray are not recommended in dark rooms - with a lack of daylight, these colors acquire a dirty gray tint and look dreary.
Turquoise color, as in photo 19, is not without reason so often used in bathroom design - it reflects a lot of light and makes the whole design very light.
Of warm colors, dark rooms are suitable: milky white, cream, the lightest beige and ivory, light warm pink, very light pistachio, vanilla and all light yellow shades (they are especially shown in northern rooms, since the yellow color of the walls partly compensates for the lack sunlight).
Not recommended are peach, terracotta (they absorb a lot of light and in cloudy weather it also gets a dirty tint), olive and orange (they absorb a LOT of light). In photo 23, you can see how the bright orange color darkens the room.
Photo 22 and 23
In general, in dark rooms, experiments with bright background surfaces (floor, walls, ceiling) almost always fail - especially in the north and east rooms. Photos 24 and 25 are an eloquent example. The tops of the bathroom walls were painted with umber - a beautiful and rich color, and then they were repainted in blue. Feel the difference.
Photo 24 and 25
So, the second way to make a dark room brighter is “light + white + bright”: light walls and floors, a snow-white ceiling, white elements (doors and at least a couple of pieces of furniture) plus a couple of bright accessories for contrast.
For some reason, the third method is almost forgotten, I don't even have good illustrations. This is a horizontal combination of wallpaper according to the principle “darker bottom + very light top”. Like photo 26, only the colors don't have to be contrasting. But the furniture against the background of the lower part of the walls should, of course, be light.
This combination of wallpaper works well in dark rooms. The lower third of the walls are pasted over with darker wallpaper, the upper third with lighter ones, the joint is usually covered with molding or wooden platbands - white or in the color of the floor or doors.
Photo 27 and 28
Now there are a few little tricks that will help you brighten up the interior. Make some of the surfaces glossy white. If there is a built-in wardrobe in your room opposite the window, make the doors glossy and at least one of them mirrored. If there is no closet, but there is furniture on the side of the window, make it glossy white. In photo 27 you can see how well the white gloss reflects the light.
A similar role can be played by a mirror placed in the same way - on the side or opposite the window (photo 28). But do not overuse mirrors - contrary to popular belief, an excess of mirrors is not so positively perceived in the interior - read more about this. In short, a white gloss reflects only light, and a mirror reflects everything in general.
Use pastel colors in a dark room. Pastels contain a lot of white / whitish undertones and reflect daylight very well. Plus, all pastel colors are perfectly combined with each other and allow you to create very light, visually light, but not boring color combinations, as in the photo in the article at the link. Pastels are especially useful if the room is dark because the window is shaded by trees.
Photo 29, 30 and 31
Hang only white tulle and, if possible, white curtains (photos 29 and 30). If it is possible to do without curtains at all, by closing only the lower part of the window so that the room cannot be seen from the street, that is great.
For example, if your room is shaded by dense foliage of trees growing in the courtyard, as in photo 31, or goes out into an uninhabited space, from where no one can look into your room, you can simply close the lower half of the windows with transparent film or muslin, or light white tulle - and thus gain some more daylight. This method, of course, is not suitable for everyone.
Photo 32 and 33
Make the most of the window. In photo 32, you can see that the dining table is set so that people do not get daylight at all - there is nothing near the window, and the table is pushed into the most shaded part of the room. Think over the arrangement of furniture in your room so as to spend maximum time in its most illuminated place.
Wall decor is important in a dark room. Use pictures or posters in light, light colors. If you want more brightness, let them have bright colors too, but let the background and overall color be light and it is imperative that the top of the picture or poster be lighter than the bottom. Light flowers are very good (photo 33): orchids, jasmine, white peonies, white lilacs, sakura, lilies, etc.
It is good if you use pictures or posters behind glass (photo 34) - glass reflects daylight, although its disadvantage is that then the picture becomes less visible.
In dark bedrooms, use light-colored bedspreads (Photo 35), especially if you use the bedroom during the day. Few people think about this, but a bedspread is a large object, and the larger your bed, the more important the bedspread plays in the overall color of the bedroom. Therefore, if your bedroom is dark, choose not only the curtains as light as possible, but also the bedspread. Light colored bedspreads can be very pretty, as you can see in the photo on the left. In general, bedspreads of the “light background + beautiful exquisite pattern” type are an excellent choice for any bedroom, but especially for a dark one.
Now a little about what does NOT suit dark rooms. All dull, faded, muted colors are contraindicated in dark rooms.
Neither for furniture, nor for carpets, nor for curtains, nor for decor - do not use colors like in photo 36 for anything. In bright yellow electric light, they can be quite OK, but in daylight, as you can see, they acquire such unpleasant "worn-out", especially in cloudy weather. Nothing makes a dark room as gloomy as these colors. Moreover, there are very beautiful muted shades of green, lilac, burgundy - no matter how sorry, but you simply will not see their beauty.
Photo 36 and 37
Gray is not suitable for dark rooms. Gray, even its light shades, has a very difficult relationship with daylight and especially its lack. Gray during the day often takes on an unpleasant death tinge, especially in rooms facing north and northeast. In photo 37 you can see an example - an elegant gray shade would be very beautiful if it was better lit, as it became flat and cold. At the same time, notice in this photo how well the light floor works as a reflector.
Pearlescent wallpapers are not suitable for dark rooms. Many people confuse gloss and mother of pearl, or believe that anything that glitters and reflects light is good for a dark room. This is not true. Gloss reflects light without distortion, while mother of pearl distorts and darkens it. Silk-screen printing and metallography are not suitable for dark rooms - they darken the walls even more. In photo 38 you can see how strongly metallography absorbs light - about two meters from the window, the wall is already completely dark. Imagine this wall just light, without mother-of-pearl, and you will understand the difference.
So, if you got a dark room, don't despair. Think carefully about its design and, in particular, the layout, give up dark and dull colors in favor of white, pastels and pure bright colors; ask the stores for samples of materials to look at at home in daylight (or buy with a subsequent return if they do not fit), approach the question as meticulously as possible - and you will succeed.

Each room in an apartment or house, with the exception of a bathroom and dressing rooms, has at least one window. Insolation is one of the key factors in the microclimate of an apartment and is provided not only for the sake of beauty, but also taking into account the requirements of sanitary standards.
Rule 4: choosing the right lighting
It is not advisable to use fluorescent lamps in lighting closed rooms, paradoxically, says Olga Kondratova. The fact is that they emit light too harsh for the eyes, which does not add comfort to the home environment.
Rule 5: Lighting Zoning
If there is a lack of light, it is better to organize several lighting scenarios: main, additional and decorative. A chandelier on the ceiling, sconces on the walls and a floor lamp - with such a set, even in the darkest room it will be comfortable and cozy.
Rule 6: Light wall decoration and bright accents
For background wall decoration and furnishing rooms without windows, the designer advises using white, as well as light shades of ivory and cream.
Bright colors will be appropriate for textiles and accessories. Yellow, olive, blue and turquoise colors work well: they will fill the space with freshness and energy.
Rule 7: Don't Need Aggressive Tones
But the designer does not recommend using black and orange colors in closed rooms: they absorb light, which is already in short supply.
Rule 8: We hang mirrors
To visually expand the space, mirrors will come to the rescue. The room will seem larger if one of the walls or ceiling is decorated with a mirror with a facet or sandblast pattern.
Rule 9: Simulate a Window
In the absence of a real one, a backlit stained glass window is capable of simulating a window. And if you arrange it on the ceiling, you get the effect of a second light.
Modern wallpapers are so diverse that anyone can choose a worthy option for their home. There are a huge number of very different colors, among which most of the available colors, many beautiful drawings and photographs. A well-chosen color and pattern on the wallpaper can help eliminate room imperfections and highlight the merits.
Today we want to talk about what wallpaper options you can choose for a small, dark room to make it comfortable and cozy, and not lifelessly gloomy.
Floral theme in the interior of a tiny roomDifficulties of design
In our apartments and houses there are different rooms: wide and narrow, light and dark. For large and light rooms, it is quite easy to come up with and implement any interior, but in a dark, small room, everything is much more complicated.
Why such premises are found is easy to explain, the following factors are to blame:
- Depending on the location of the house, many rooms in apartments are poorly lit. There are also those where there is very little natural light.
- In densely built-up residential areas, situations often arise when one house blocks access to sunlight for another. On the lower floors of the house, trees can also block the light.
- Illumination can be disturbed after repair work related to the redevelopment of the premises.
However, the situation can be corrected if you choose the right wallpaper, they can help increase the illumination of the room and, possibly, its visual perception. Thus, from a dark and small room, you can get a bright room that is quite suitable for living.
It is clear that you will have to work with lighting in such a room, increase the number of lighting devices, and successfully distribute them by zones. But lighting partly solves the problem, you won't always keep it on. Therefore, it is worth considering the possibility of pasting wallpaper in light colors, a pastel palette is also suitable. If you want to bring a little color into the room, you can pick up accent wallpapers and place them in the brightest part of the room.
One of the rooms of a multi-room apartment It is not necessary to achieve strong contrast in a small room, it does not contribute to an increase in illumination, however, it is permissible to use more than one color, but several. The successful combination of variegated and calm shades allows you to get the illusion of a light space.
Plain wallpaper is perfect for such a room, you can consider what options wallpaper stores offer us and choose. It is advisable to focus on pastel colors. It is also permissible to use a small drawing and a small relief, they will not spoil the overall picture, but add originality.
It is strongly discouraged to use a large ornament on the wallpaper for a small, poorly lit room. Since such a pattern will negatively affect the perception of the room as a whole, it will give the impression that it is smaller and darker than it actually is.
Another design technique will allow you to transform the room by increasing its illumination: glue light wallpaper with a small, discreet pattern on the wall opposite the window, and glue the rest of the walls with canvases in the same tone, but slightly darker. Thus, you will achieve an original perception of the space, it will seem to you that the light expands the room, reflecting from one of the walls. In fact, this will happen, which means that in this way we will get two very light walls in the room at once.
Striped wallpaper will help to work with the geometry of the room. Depending on the direction of the strips, they can increase the height of the ceiling, or lengthen the walls. A strip of medium thickness works well, while any color can be used: bright colors will make the interior more lively, restrained more strict.
Expansion of the room through the use of light wallpaper Colors and combinations
To brighten up a small, dark room, you can use multiple colors. A couple of light and one bright will be enough to create a balanced interior, and make a small emphasis on important places in the room.
If you use more bright colors, the room may turn out to be too bloody, saturated. Of course, outwardly it will look more lively, lighter and even brighter, but it will be difficult to be in it for a long time. Do not forget that the use of contrasting combinations in the room of such a room is also inappropriate.
Wallpaper for a dark and small room should work with all its texture for lightening, so options should be considered with a glossy finish. Very well, if not, then they can always be added to liquid wallpaper or paint options. It is very easy to mix reflective elements into the preparation mixture of liquid wallpaper. After applying it to the walls, the sparkles will be located on them in a chaotic manner. By adding similar elements to paint for painting walls or wallpaper, you can also achieve a similar result.
Choosing glossy wallpapers, we know for sure that matte wall canvases will not suit us for our room, since they help to absorb light, not reflect it.
Comfortable and warm atmosphere in the bedroom Do not forget about the side of the world that the windows of your premises face. In our situation, most likely it will be the north side, which means that they will be perfect for us:
- yellow colors, sunny and cheerful;
- beige tones, soft, light and at the same time very warm;
- various variations of orange, gold colors.
White and its shades will not be appropriate here. In low light, they will look gray, nondescript and dreary, and we do not need depressive moods at home.
You can use the original move when choosing wallpaper in a store. Just ask yourself the rolls of wallpaper you like to try on, and in the actual conditions of the room, see how they will look on the wall on a normal day under natural lighting and under artificial lighting. If you are satisfied with this type of walls, buy them, otherwise continue looking for the desired color.
Psychology of color
Understanding the psychology of color will make it even easier for you to choose wallpaper for a small room with poor lighting. As you probably know, psychologists have long ago identified the effect of different colors on people.
An approximate list of primary colors and their effects is as follows:
- One of the positive mood-enhancing flowers is peach. It is quite soft and light, but at the same time slightly energetic. It is used in living rooms, bedrooms in kitchens.
- To accumulate vital energy in a room, a yellow color palette is often used. This wallpaper color reminds us of summer, relaxation and fun, and therefore brings joy and pleasant emotions. Yellow is a bright enough color, so it will be in place in the living room, kitchen or bathroom.
Cozy small living room - Orange has similar properties, wallpaper in this color energizes, increases brain activity and awakens appetite. By toning the body, orange predisposes to active actions. Wallpaper in this tone is appropriate in the kitchen, in the living room.
- A luxurious gold tone is used as accents; it cannot be the main one due to its high impulsiveness and saturation. With its help, you can add brightness, solemnity and nobility to the room. Wallpapers with drawings of this color fit perfectly into the classic interior of living rooms
- A calm, comfortable, warm and cozy atmosphere in the room will help to create the colors of the beige palette. This laid-back tone promotes rest and relaxation, which means the main place of its application is in the bedroom.
- In combination with beige, a brown tone is often used, it kind of stabilizes the interior. it looks the most advantageous, it brings comfort with it to the house, and with its internal energy helps to relieve stress.
- Pink is considered to be a characteristic romantic color. In its light performance, it calms, brings tenderness, while in its bright and saturated it excites passion. It is customary to use a similar color scheme in bedrooms, bathrooms, children's rooms.
- Red tones have always been associated with the holiday, they bring joy and fun. Most often, red is used in large living rooms, where it is necessary to achieve a solemn atmosphere in the interior. In the kitchen, it is also appropriate, as it helps to awaken the appetite.
Design of a bedroom in an apartment on the upper floors of a multi-storey building - Even in a small and dark room, consider using a purple wallpaper. Despite the fact that it belongs to the galaxy of dark tones, it also contributes to the expansion of the visual space. If you successfully combine it with a light tone, you can expand the space and lighten it.
- Blue tones are also designed to expand the space; they can be used in both large and small rooms. They add freshness, lightness, reduce human fatigue and emotional stress. Wallpaper in blue is most often used in bedrooms, living rooms, children's rooms.
- On the other hand, the blue tone narrows and diminishes the space; it is a cold and deep color that has an extremely calming effect. Wallpaper in this color is applicable in large rooms where there is very good natural and artificial lighting.
- Natural green color scheme promotes relaxation and quick recovery of the body. Depending on their saturation, such tones can be used in rooms of any size. Wallpaper with green colors is actively used in children's rooms, living rooms, in kitchens.
Summarizing all of the above, it is worth noting that when choosing wallpaper for a small, poorly lit room, it is important to pay attention not only to the color of the canvases, but also to the size of their pattern, the glossiness of the texture and the presence of relief on it. Do not forget about the side of the world that the windows face from the room. If you take into account all these factors, and besides, take wallpaper from the store for fitting, the probability of error will be minimal.
Undoubtedly, a dark room has many advantages: the eyes are resting from the bright light that hits the eyes, and the twilight also relaxes the nervous system, and in such a room a person falls asleep 20% faster. Nevertheless, a dark room in its constancy makes an apartment uncomfortable and significantly reduces the purchase price of an apartment. A dark room is especially dangerous for rooms - offices, nurseries and libraries. Therefore, many ask an important question - how to make a dark room brighter?
- Bright hues.
You can lighten the room with the help of light colors in the design of the room. A dark room, of course, can be made completely white, but it is better to use pastel colors: beige, cream and light lemon. If no sunlight enters the windows of the room, then the white color of the walls will appear dirty gray.
But it is advisable to make the ceiling in the room perfectly white, even mirrored white, so that the light color of the walls is reflected in the ceiling and brightens the room.
It is also best to have a light colored flooring on the floor, but you can also throw a bright yellow carpet to create a bright spot against the background of light walls and enliven the room.
- Curtains.
For daylighting, the choice should stop on transparent curtains, only the question of night curtains arises. They should be chosen light, but made of the densest material that will not transmit the light of night lights and signage.
If the room is very small, then preference should be given to white curtains, but if the room is spacious, but dark because of the trees outside the window, then you need to hang yellow curtains, they will create the impression of bright sunlight.
And in an extreme case, you can make a window without curtains in the interior, this is also welcome, so as not to clutter up the daylight with objects.
- Furniture.
The first thing to know is no large furniture. Second, it is advisable to turn your attention to glass furniture or small interior items with polished or mirrored facades. Better a few small pieces of furniture than a huge and burdening room "wall" or "slide".
- Mirrors.
Any decorative mirrors for the interior should be selected on the principle of better less and a few pieces. A pair of mirrors must be arranged in such an order that they multiply the light as best as possible, it would be great if a chandelier looked in the mirror.
- Partitions.
If the room has partitions and they are not load-bearing walls - down with them! Due to the absence of partitions, the room will acquire additional natural light and will visually appear larger and lighter.
- Blue accent.
A small accent of blue or turquoise will add light to the room, but there is a small rule here - do not overdo it.
Otherwise, with an excess of this color, we will achieve a completely different effect - a visual reduction in the room and even "coldness". But a small accent of blue with the addition of yellow things will create the appearance of the sky with the sun and "warm" the room.
The owners of apartments with dark rooms cannot be called lucky. When the windows are located on the north side or the trees outside the window interfere with the access of light, when the window openings are too small or the room has a non-standard shape and size, without special techniques it will not work to achieve the effect of a large amount of light in the room. Without this, any room seems uncomfortable and cramped. The design of a dark room must be thought out carefully so as not to darken it even more.
Designers offer some ideas and tips on how to brighten a dark room. But each advice should be considered in the context of the apartment layout you have and the purpose of the room. Before purchasing building materials, decorative elements, pieces of furniture, take samples of them to see how they will look in a particular room, and make sure that they can be returned if they suddenly do not fit.
In order to make an insufficiently lit room brighter, you can use a number of professional design techniques, which also allow you to expand the space and add airiness to the room. The design of a dark room does not imply the use of all of the listed techniques, but only those that are suitable for a particular room and will please the owners of the home.
It is unlikely that you can get rid of the trees in front of the window that interfere with light entering the room or expand the window opening, so we are considering only those ideas that can be applied indoors.
Surface decoration
The first and main way to make a dark room brighter is to decorate the walls, ceiling and floor in white. White surfaces will allow more light to be reflected. Creating the effect of a "white box" in the room will make a poorly lit room visually larger and more spacious, especially if large pieces of furniture (sofa, table, shelves, wardrobe) are also white.
If it seems that white walls, white ceilings, white floors and even white furniture are boring, you can add bright accessories or small pieces of furniture in bright contrasting colors. If bright colors on a white background are also not of interest, use a large amount of natural color detail that will brighten the room. For example, you can decorate the entire wall with black and white photographs or drawings, put many different accessories "under the tree". You can also decorate some surfaces with openwork patterns, for example, cabinet doors or the head of the bed. Such patterns can be combined with patterns on glass, macrame, knitted napkins, etc.
It seems to many that white is a rather easily soiled color, therefore, painting or repairing walls and floors will often be required. But the materials existing on the market now (tiles, washable wallpaper, resistant paint, etc.) allow you not to think about it. Naturally, such surfaces should be kept clean.
Those who, under no circumstances want to decorate their bedroom, study or living room in a "hospital" color, can be offered to decorate surfaces in the following colors: light blue, light green, light pink, mint, ivory, light yellow. Use the lightest colors in the palette whenever possible.
Another way to decorate walls in a dimly lit room is to combine light and dark materials. The bottom of the wall is approximately 1/3 darker, and the top is lighter. This method will add light and make the ceilings look taller.
Furniture in a dark room
Firstly, you should not overload such rooms with furniture. Especially do not place bulky furniture in the center of the room, as it will absorb light. Better to use furniture on graceful legs with open space at the bottom. Such items make the atmosphere in the room lighter and more airy.
It is advisable to make the surfaces of the cabinets opposite the window glossy. This will reflect the light. The use of mirrors is also possible, but it is worth remembering that if the gloss reflects only light, then the mirror reflects everything.
It is worth positioning furniture correctly in an insufficiently lit room. For example, if the light hits only part of the room, this is where the dining table or work area needs to be. Do not deprive yourself and your loved ones of natural light, which is so scarce in the room.
Darkroom lighting
For dark rooms, you need to consider multi-level lighting. The ideal option is a suspended ceiling with a large number of spotlights. The main task is to arrange the light sources at different levels.
Instead of a false ceiling, you can make sides around the perimeter of the ceiling, in which you can place hidden lighting. You can also use floor lamps, floor lamps, hang sconces at different heights. Additional lighting can be built into wardrobes or niches, if provided in the interior.
Decorative items and accessories
In the design of a dark room, wall decor is of great importance. You can use photographs or posters placed under glass. This reflects the light. In addition, it is in the decorative elements that you can use bright accents, but not too zealous. Three or four bright little things will be enough.
You should not use a huge amount of textiles in the decor of such a room. Do not overload the room with pillows and bedspreads. It is also better to refuse heavy curtains. Use white tulle or thin linen curtains to decorate the window. If possible, the window can generally be made as open as possible without using curtains.
Common mistakes in the design of dark rooms
Many people think that bright central lighting in such a room will solve all problems, but this is not the case. To illuminate as much space as possible, it is worth placing light sources at different levels.
If you approach the issue of decorating a dark room correctly and with taste, you can make a rather cozy place out of such a room.
Comfort for your home!
