All opinions are mine and mine alone.
Moving around the same spaces daily can dull your perception of them. Looking at the same things and layout can make you feel unhappy with your home. Simple changes can make a world of difference, so here is how you can brighten your home with five easy solutions!
Purchase Lighter Furniture
Don’t Be Afraid of a White Couch!
Your furniture is the key part of your living spaces. Your couch may be the centrepiece of your living room, or your grand TV stand may be the dominating piece! Either way, having these fixtures lighter as opposed to dark wood may be essential in brightening up your space. Key things to focus on are your couch, TV stand and rug!
Keep Flowers in the Room
A Spot of Nature on Your Table!
Plants and greenery, in general, add an element of brightness to your home naturally. A good vase to go with these are a bonus! Having flowers as the centrepiece on your breakfast bar or dining table can make a drastic difference to the appearance of your kitchen. With the expansion of businesses online, it is easy to access flowers for better prices than if you were to go out shopping for them. Services can provide same-day fresh-cut flower delivery so you can have whatever flowers you like delivered to you the same day you order them!
Pops Of Colour
Create a Colour Theme!
You may have lighter furniture in your spaces, but you can always add things that will make the areas more interesting. Adding pops of colour will do just that! If you can keep on the theme, this is even better, especially if you pair patterns with solid colours in the likes of rugs, pillows, or blankets. Even a unique vase will be eye-drawing or even a tablecloth! Though lighter furniture is brightening, if you are willing to commit to a brightly-coloured couch, you should definitely do so. A brightly coloured couch can be minimalist or maximilist depending on how you style around it. This is the beauty of it!
Warm Lighting
Go Lamp Shopping!
Brightening up a room will be easier to do with things such as furniture during the daytime. Creating an ambience that is fitting for your living space at night is a different thing. Lamps are an integral part of the mood you set for your home. Warm light is always a guaranteed go-to for making your home lighter and cosier, especially in the way it will complement the lighter aspects of the room, such as rugs or cabinets.
Hang A Mirror or Add a Discoball
Get Reflecting!
If you have a bar cart especially, placing a mirror above this can naturally reflect light and can be used to flatter the sunlight that comes into your living room. Mirrors generally tend to open up spaces and make them feel more airy and open, so they are always a good option when looking for ways to make your room appear lighter. Their ability to harness any natural sunlight will work to your advantage; this is the same for disco balls! You may think it is over the top or tacky to purchase such, but you don’t have to hang it up and put your roller boots on! Even just having one sat on a shelf or on the mantelpiece is sure to catch the sunlight and reflect beautiful patterns onto your walls during the day!
