Werkspot shares interior design tips to brighten homes

As daylight hours decrease, Werkspot has released a guide to help homeowners brighten their living spaces through interior design choices rather than major structural renovations.

Key recommendations include selecting wall colors that reflect light rather than absorb it, such as warm whites or soft creams for north-facing rooms. The use of mirrors, glass surfaces, and shiny tiles can help distribute natural light more effectively throughout a room. Additionally, replacing heavy curtains with sheer fabrics or blinds and ensuring windows are kept clean are suggested methods to maximize incoming light.

To improve the sense of space, the guide advises against using large, dark furniture, suggesting instead lighter pieces with slender legs. For homes with limited natural light, experts recommend using multiple light sources at varying heights and utilizing LED lighting that mimics daylight. While many adjustments are simple, experts suggest consulting a professional for more significant changes like installing skylights or light tunnels.
