Implement Overhead Lighting
In dark spaces, having a lighting scheme is powerful.
If your apartment has overhead lighting, great, Pellegrini tells Bustle.
You should also add lamps and maybe even LED strip lights to give yourself options to play with light.
Sheers are great because they won’t block any natural light you are getting in your space.
As Pellegrini says, Don’t select a dark floor covering.
Opt for an area rug or flooring that goes with your light and bright theme.
If you have a say in the color of your flooring, going for pale wood tones is recommended.
Either way, softer-colored rugs make for an airier feel when you walk into a room.
Combine that with afternoon sunshine coming through the window and youre set.
Ideally, placing a mirror across from a window will help bounce more light around the space.
You could even play with mirrored furniture like a coffee table, Pellegrini tells Bustle.
