Clever ways to make your living room look bright and spacious

You might have noticed how a space or a room can change your mood as you enter it. This is because light and colour in a room can have a direct effect on human mood.  If your home feels like it’s been in a constant state of the blues, you need to act on it. Adding some lights and bringing changes to the décor can eliminate the negative vibes. Living room being the most important room of the house where everyone in the family gather to spend time together and engage in an array of activities need to be a welcoming and happy place. A bright living room attracts positive energy and promotes happiness and a healthier living environment.

Here are a few clever ways to make your living room both bright and spacious.

Keep paint colors light and bright

White rooms tend to look the largest, and therefore choose paints that are light blues, greys and other neutral colors. You can also go with bright colours. Unlike the dark colours, bright colours reflect light and create an open, airy feeling inside the room. Besides that, your room will feel more spacious. Choose bright white for your ceiling and cool colours for your walls.

Get rid of dark pieces of furniture

Remove large and dark pieces of furniture or add white elements to it. For instance, a white rug on a dark floor can have a drastic effect on the overall feel of the room.  White doors, light fabric curtains or lamps can also do the trick. Give special attention while arranging the furniture. Large pieces of furniture like bookshelves can be placed perpendicular to your windows so they don’t disrupt the flow of natural light.

Bring natural light into your room

A room with good natural light feels brighter and more open. If the natural light is minimal, place a large mirror directly across from the window so it bounces light around the room. Apart from brightening up the space, mirrors will make the room spacious. Adding small mirrors in dark areas can do wonders.

Add pops of colour

Just because you have a small living room, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t add stylish elements to it. You can incorporate different colours into the interior but don’t use too many. Colourful pillows, photo frames, artwork, flowers and other accessories will lighten the atmosphere and can help personalize your living room. As living room is a place where you spend a lot of time it is important to add features that represent you.

Declutter and clean your room

If you look around you will find so many unwanted things that take a lot of space in your living room. Spend some time to clear and rearrange the items on your coffee table, shelves and counters. Clean the windows, mirrors, and the forgotten corners as they will let more light in.
