5 brightening tips for a dark space

The Fall season means shorter days and shorter days means less daylight to brighten the inside of your home.

We’ve got a couple hacks to brighten up the rooms in your home to get you through the fall and winter season.

1. Think White : White naturally reflects light without absorbing any. This will cause any visible light to bounce off any white surfaces making the room appear brighter.
2. Add light fixtures to walls : Add light fixtures to walls that send the light upwards and downwards. This will spread the light across the walls throughout the room.
3. Add some black : Adding black accents help give contrast in a light colored room helping the bright areas stand out even more.
4. Area Rugs : If your home has a lot of dark floors, consider a bright or light colored rug to help brighten up those areas.
5. Plants : Adding some house plants can make any room feel brighter and help give a room more sunny feeling vibes.
