So, decorating the rooms with bright colors and bold designs would give off a vibe that you are really welcoming your guests into a happy and cheerful home atmosphere. Darks rooms are a big turn off for any one. If you are ushered into a room that is dark and damp and is gloomy, it is obvious that you would feel uneasy and uncomfortable.

    • Use colors which reflect light. White color is the most reflective of all colors which is why using white as the paint in your living room would brighten up the room easily. In the day time, the white walls would reflect the sunlight streaming in through the window and at night, the lights in your room would be reflected by white.

    • Make use of other reflective mediums such as mirrors. Placing a mirror right in the way of the sunlight can cause glares which may hurt the eyes.

    • Just brightening up the room with bold colors would not be sufficient unless the rooms make you comfortable in spite of being bright and full of light. During the summer, if the room is too bright then it may generate some amount of heat which might make you feel warm and stuffy. To avoid such a kind of discomfort, you can opt for cool colors which form a reflective surface as well as keep you fresh and soothes you. You can opt for lighter shades of blue, like sky blue and ocean blue which will give you a feeling of being underneath the sky on a bright sunny day.

    • Opt for paints that have are matte finish. While glossy colors may reflect more light, just like mirrors they have a tendency to create glares when in the direct path of bright light of the sun. However, matte paints do not create any sort of glare and also reflects light equally all around the room.

    • Lighting up your walls may make your rooms look brighter. Not that you have to direct lights straight at the walls but placing a few lights close to the light colored walls would help reflect the light from the bulbs.

    • A great way to make your rooms brighter is to contrast with a few dark colored objects. In rooms, which have white walls, placing a painting that has a dark brown frame or a light stand hat is black in color would make the white surfaces ore prominent. That could also count as a great idea for home decor that makes you room bright and classy at the same time.

    • Consider getting rid of heavy curtains. Curtains which are heavy and dark colored are best suited for bedrooms. When selecting curtains for living rooms, consider light and soothing ones which do not obstruct light and make the room look stuffed.

    Using area rugs is a good idea to help reflect light off the flooring in the corridors. Wood flooring usually tend to absorb the light more. Using a light colored area rug would reflect more light, hence making the corridors look more wide.
