In one-room apartments to the only thing, and without that slightly lit room, the glazed balcony is often adjacent. All the light remains and dissipates precisely there, therefore, first of all you need to bring the order there. And also organize lighting on the balcony and loggia: sometimes to raise the mood you can simply include the light from the other side of the window, and the room will immediately become more fun.
3 "solvent" window
Design: Scandinavian Homes
In the room with a small window - no dark walls and dark window frames. The frames are better to change on white or painted in white: it's all about the reflective ability of flowers. And the window sills can even be glossy, because glossy surfaces reflect more light. By the way, in the room with a loggia, the dismantling of the window will noticeably increase the overall level of illumination, but it will be necessary to produce well insulation and heating well, and also coordinate redevelopment.
4 Put the mirror
Design: Black and Milk
Large mirrors - a time-tested trap for light. The easiest and most familiar way to use the capabilities of the mirrors are complete - to post opposite the window the oven wardrobe with mirrored doors. It is advisable to use a solid mirror facade. Another way to work with mirrors - to arrange slopes on the windows: reflections and solar bunnies will also fill the room with extra light
5 Buy reflective furniture

6 Put the light box
Design: Ibarra Rosano Design Architects
A very affordable option for the deception of sight - Likebox on the ceiling, simulating the ceiling window. It is not necessary to build anything: you will only need a ceiling lamp with a matte flange, gently scattering light, or a stained glass window, with which you will create an illusion of the attic window in the roof.
7 Use a sunny tint
Design: Berphin Interior
The most frequent design advice: in a dark little room, certainly kruie the walls in white. However, in reality in the conditions of a short luminous day, white walls often acquire a dull grayish tint. Therefore, prefer warm shades at least locally or use bright lamps with a warm tone.
