Brightening up a dark room might seem like the ultimate difficult task to master. If you can’t go for a large renovation for some reasons, there are some easier ways to do that. Here are chic, foolproof ideas that allow you to get the most out of your room.

Bright Wall Art

When it comes to artwork you want to go the lighter route. The lighter your art pieces are the grander the room will be. If you have a darker room that feels empty or a bit too dark, consider adding art with bright shades that help the room feel welcoming. A bold art piece with light hues makes any room come to life with a brightening effect.

Light Wood Flooring

When a space requires additional lighting it is best to opt for light wood flooring. Light wood works great due to how charming it is in general. Lightly stained floors are also great for a heavily trafficked room as they are excellent at masking scratches, and other tidbits that can make darker wood appear dingy after a while.

Go Translucent

Remove any dark and heavy areas and furniture pieces you might have and select a translucent item. Whether that is using translucent or lighter curtains, or completely changing the furniture pieces you want to go for lighter shades that are almost too sheer to ever feel heavy. Pair your translucent items with darker bits to create a soft contrast that also works in brightening the room.
