10 ideas for a bright, airy living room

In every house there are certain places that receive less daylight than desired. Nevertheless, there is a tendency to put the sunny places in the foreground, while the darker ones tend to be ignored. Heavy curtains, dark carpets, and an unsuitable wall color can possibly further emphasize the darkness in the room.

How do we present our living spaces in the best light? We have collected 10 inspiring tips on how to do this.

1. Skilfully use curtains. As a privacy screen or for an aesthetic effect, the textiles should not cover the windows and thus block the falling light. Also make sure that the curtain rods are long enough so that the curtains fit snugly against the glass in the Window frames can be attached.

2. Rely on the Scandinavian furnishing style. The simple living designs, often in white nuances, compensate for a possible lack of natural light. Incidentally, some decorative items in black compensate for the strict look and add a subtle two-tone note.

3. Rely on mirrors for optical space enlargement. The large mirror reflects the light in an otherwise dark room. Possibly place it across or diagonally from the window for the best effect.
