3 Decor Elements That Will Brighten Up Your Home

If you feel like the home you’re living in isn’t as bright as you’d like it to be, you’ll be glad to know that there are all kinds of ways that you can add light and airiness to your home without having to do anything extreme like putting in new windows or installing a skylight. Simple decor changes can really make a huge difference.

To help you see just how this can be done, here are three decor elements that will brighten up your home. 

Use Larger Mirrors

Mirrors are a great way to bring some extra light and brightness into a space.

With whatever light sources you already have available within the space, strategically placing mirrors around the room can help bounce that light around the space and have it reflect in areas that may not have been well lit before. While small mirrors can do the trick, the bigger the mirror is, the more light it will be able to catch and reflect throughout the space. So if you don’t already have an extra large wall mirror, you might want to consider getting one in your design aesthetic that you can place in such a way that the light reflects well off of it. 

Opt For Lighter Colored Fabrics And Materials

Just as dark clothes will soak in the light of the sun and make things hotter, lighter colors will reflect light. So if you’re wanting to have more light scattered around your home, something that you can try to help make this happen is to opt for lighter colored fabrics and materials.

When you choose to use lighter colors in your decor and design elements, that brightness will help make the entire space feel lighter and help to share that brightness all throughout the space. So for those who currently have a lot of dark furniture or other dark materials in their home, you might want to consider replacing this with something lighter in color. 

Add More Houseplants

Something else that can bring a lot of brightness and light into a space is putting more life in that area. This can particularly be helpful when you use houseplants.

While many houseplants might not be bright in their color, the vibrancy of their leaves and flowers can help make any space feel lighter and more full of life. Placing more houseplants in areas that you’d like to be lighter and brighter can help to fill that space with something that will really liven up that space. 

If you want to use the decor around your home to make the space feel lighter and brighter, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you learn some ways that this can be done.
