How to make a dark room brighter: 5 useful tips

The sunlit room is a perfect field to work on the interior. However, not every room has such a remarkable property. Let's look at the basic principles of light propagation, and discuss what ways the room can be lighter and, therefore, visually more spacious.

1. Turn the room into a "white cube"



Nothing expands the room, as the blurred boundaries between the planes. Paint the walls and floor in white color, on the floor lay a light coating, and your room will turn into a magical "white cube". Under a glimpse of its boundaries will fade, and look nenashedshaya contrast points of contact of the walls with ceilings and floors, will perceive the space is much larger than it really is.

Let us now list the materials that will be able to help you to bring this idea to life:

• Flooring — parquet Board, laminate, solid, parquet, cork (now make it with various designs of the surface), vinyl flooring, self-leveling floors.
  
  
• Walls — paint, plaster, Wallpaper, wall panels.
  
  
• Ceiling — paint.
  
  

2. Use mirrors



The mirror has a huge impact on the illumination of the room, if correctly used. Position the mirror so that it reflects the window light and the wall. Thus, you as if will double the effect and increase the amount of light in the room. No matter what the mirror will be the size or shape — a huge canvas in all growth or a small decoration made of mirror glass, placed at different angles. You need to see the room its main advantages and the winning hand is relatively light and with reflective subject matter to increase their influence.

3. Use pastel colors



In poorly lit rooms, experimenting with color combinations can be very dangerous. That is why we strongly advise to avoid all dark colors and grey shades. The property of surfaces to reflect each other in the end will cause a small degree of illumination of your room tilko worse. Combinations, which could be a very noble and interesting in a large bright room, you risk being withered and depressed in this kind of room.

 

When selecting materials, choose shades even lighter than you originally wanted. The lack of lighting and brightness in the room will make the Wallpaper visually darker than they seemed in the store under fluorescent lighting or bright sunlight.

4. Not zashtorivayte window





The window in the apartment is the only source of natural light, and in a poorly lit room just a crime to swipe it. Do not have not to decorate the window. You can on either side of the window, hang a light, but blackout curtains, to be able to close them as needed. Tulle is better not to hang or constantly to move closer to the curtains. This will create a layering and textiles on the Windows will look even more interesting. In this embodiment, the clearance need to be concerned about the appearance of the window itself, about the state of the sill and the battery.

There are many designs of radiators ranging from retro to design new products using the latest technologies. Select the one that best suits your interior, or just close the existing (if ugly) neat grille.

5. Watch out for light reflection





As is known, the light rays tend to bounce. And that is what the texture of the walls and surrounding objects, it affects the degree of reflection. For example, glossy surfaces reflect better than dull, and light is better than dark. Smooth surface in this sense is more advantageous than coarse texture.

Remember that every object in the room, and the walls are covered especially (because here a very large area), affect the surrounding objects and surfaces, and those, in turn, affect them. The more opportunities for reflection you provide, the brighter will seem the room.

For example, removing from the floor a large rug with a high pile, you are almost twice will increase the illumination, and this can be checked by means of special devices. Consider in advance what items have to surround you, and if you have a goal to make the room lighter, first of all, think about the texture and color of these items. Plan is, after all, without accurate calculations can result in a tacky design and poor organization. Only planning will help you to fix existing bugs.





Applying these sophisticated techniques, you can significantly improve the illumination of your room. In this case, it is possible to apply all the tips relative to one room — because with daylight to overdo it simply impossible. But if it still is not enough, there's always artificial lighting, decorative which is so wide that this lack of first sight at the correct flow, you can make the biggest advantage of your room.

The main thing — not to despair and not to grieve, and to accept circumstances as they are, knowing that in the end everything will work out fine. published
