While major home interior renovations may not be an option for many people, there are still other cost-effective ways to spruce up areas like your bedroom.

One of the easiest ways to give a bedroom a new look and feel is by incorporating a new lighting style. Still, finding the perfect level of lighting can be challenging.

That being said, here are some tips and tricks that you can try out to help brighten up your space.

Use mirrors

A mirror can help make your space look brighter by expanding its visual space, especially when you strategically place it near a light source.

Whether it’s a natural or artificial light source, the mirror will help to reflect the light around your space. So, it is best to place your mirror near a window or next to a table or floor lamp.

Ambient lighting

If you just want to add a touch of light to your space without over luminating the room, opt for smaller sources of light.

Decorate your space with some fairy lights, candles or other ambient light.

Not only will this give you just the right amount of light but it will also create an intimate atmosphere. Make sure you opt for warmer yellow lights instead of those bright white lights.

Say no to dark furniture

How you furnish your space dramatically impacts the lighting level in your home. If you have a small dim space, a large black sofa is not the greatest choice.

A beige, stylish and compact sofa would be a much better choice and will make your space feel and look a lot bigger.

White walls all around

The ultimate solution to brighten a dark room is by having white walls, as light reflects better off brighter surfaces.

So, the more white walls there are in your space, the more light will travel around your space.

If this feels a little boring, you can add texture or decorate the walls with some pictures or decorations. However, choose your wall decor carefully and don’t overdo it.
