Curtains, cover of your couch, cushion cover and also your carpets play a huge role in making the room appear lively and bright. Try not choosing dark shades or heavy curtains for your room.

Lighter curtains will allow light to reflect to your newly painted walls, making your room look dramatically gorgeous. A light shade couch will add to the charm of your room. Do not forget the cushion covers; you can match them to the contrast you use in the room. Finally the carpet, choose a lighter shade carpet for the room.

Let Mirrors Work
Use mirrors to reflect light. Place a mirror on the wall opposite the window. The mirror will not only reflect the sunlight it will throw light throughout the room. In case you do not have a window in your room you can place a lamp facing the mirror to lighten up the room. Use natural sunlight bulbs or brighter bulbs to give it a better effect. Mirrors not only reflect light they add volume to your room making it look bigger, brighter and better.When used light colors to color up the walls of your room your room not only looks livelier it appears bigger. Choose the right color as per the utility of the room. Make sure you choose the right combinations of the color to pair your walls up with. The décor of the room also adds to its brightness, so choose it wisely. By adding mirrors to the room you can add more volume and light to your room.
