For those with darker interiors, ZAGAS (with a little inspiration from famed Instagram decorator, Kiva Brent) offers some easy DIY tips for making the most of (or even creating) natural light in your home.

Mirrors reflect light, which can make a space appear larger. Reflecting light may make a room look bigger, and mirrors can help you make the most of the light you have.

Lighter-toned artwork can also serve to accentuate the sensation of light in a room. This is a method that combines design and usefulness, whether you're hanging a single large piece or a gallery wall.

Paint Your Room White

Painting dark places white is another excellent approach to give the sense of light. Though a room is small, avoid dark paint colors since they might make it appear as if it is closing in on itself. If an all-white space isn't your style, paint the ceiling white. A white ceiling might aid to open up a space's top.

Pick and Choose Your Furniture Designs

Of course, we recommend light-colored furniture, but if you absolutely want to put a dark piece of furniture in a space with limited natural light, choose furniture that allows light to pass above, beneath, or even through it. A room might feel more open by having couches and chairs that lift off the floor and allow light to pass through. It will help to distribute light around the space, allowing you to make better use of the light you already have.

Make The Most Out Of Artificial Lighting

Make the most of your fixtures if you can't get any natural light into a room. End tables and floor lamps may bring light into gloomy corners, while ceiling-mounted lighting can completely change a space. Artificial lighting in unusual spaces is also a favorite of ours. You may also use lighting to provide dimension to shelves, cupboards, and closets to make a place appear larger.

Try Different Lighting Options
