How to make a dark room bright and cozy. 5 important aspects

Good afternoon dear friends!

You suffer from lack of light in the apartment? Your room (bedroom, kitchen, hallway, closet or bathroom) looks dark, small and dull space? The main thing do not worry and do not make the most common mistake!

Namely, only use pure white color in the decor of your room. As a result, you risk to create a cool atmosphere in there! In this situation, you just need to learn how to wisely use light colors, decoration materials, lighting, furniture, decorative accessories, which will reflect light, making your room is not only visually brighter and more, but cozier. So today I picked up 5 of nuances to be aware of and know when solving problems with a lack of natural light.

In addition, pure white - a not a single color, which makes it possible to make a dark room brighter!

1.Bright hues. So if you really want to create a cozy atmosphere, make a bet at the color on the walls and warm colors - shades of yellow, orange or pink. For floor use materials that will best reflect both natural and artificial light. For example, pearl-white tile is ideal for dark bathroom.

Would you like to get more "tasty" result, you can use and cool tones such as lilac, green or blue. But be careful, as excessive use of them will cool the atmosphere in your room.

2.materials. They play a very important role, as they can not only reflect, but also absorb light. Therefore, try to trim them with care! Try to give up at the decoration of imitation brick or dark panels, which will absorb light. But light shades of wallpaper (satin wallpaper with a pattern) only enliven the interior. In this case, one of the walls, I would recommend to paint the "tasty", bright color (glossy garnet red, blue) to bring a modern touch and flavor to the interior corridor.

For floors and ceilings, try to use bright and neutral colors, whether it be carpet, flooring (laminate) or suspended ceiling.

3.Lighting. It is important to adapt the light in accordance with the functionality of each room (kitchen, bathroom, corridor) and have thus different levels of coverage. So do not hesitate to use a large number of different types of lighting. Spot ceiling lights, wall lights, floor lamps, LED strip lamps, table lamps... Ideally if you can create the atmosphere and adjust the brightness in the room in accordance with the current needs (dinner, reading, cooking, watching TV, etc.).

Do not forget that a well-designed lighting can be structured (zoning) space and to create a particular atmosphere. For example, multi-colored light bulbs can help you create a very beautiful, relaxing and intimate atmosphere in the living room or bedroom.

4.Furniture. It also plays an important role in the illumination of the room. Since the furniture is capable of not only reflect light, but also filter it. Therefore, the best solution will be the furniture of light wood (oak, birch, fir), stainless steel or glass (acrylic).

Try to avoid when furnishing the room in which the light is not enough copies of dark wood or matt, dark metal.

5.Decorative elements and not only. Of course, the mirror - a great way to maximize the use of light in your room. Ideally, if you place it in the "face to face" to the natural source of light. Or near the lamp!

In addition to the mirror there is a number of elements and accessories that can improve illumination in your room. For example, glass partitions legkovozvodimyh, pearlescent decorative accessories, textiles (curtains perforated with an interesting decorative effect, pillows), etc.
