How - we will consider in this article If the bedroom windows are located on the north side, tall trees interfere with light access, or the windows are simply small, then of course there is not enough natural light in the room. On the other hand, the bedroom is not a place where it should be sunny and light. Although, you must admit, how wonderful it is when pleasant sunshine wakes you up in the morning and the room is flooded with light! Today we will talk with professionals about how to increase the amount of light in the room using decorative techniques. The designers Natalia Guseva, Stanislav Orekhov and Konstantin Brovkin will help us with this.
Colour
We used to believe that light shades areincluding white, visually expands the space, but this rule only works in well-lit rooms with natural light. In other cases, pastel-colored walls can be disheartening. Warm up the white a little: choose milky or light pinks for the background elements of the interior and add bright accents with yellow, turquoise or orange. If such fresh tones do not suit you, you can choose stricter, but light colors for the walls: beige, milk chocolate, biscuit, golden. By the way, don't forget about gloss and glare. Shiny surfaces visually enlarge the interior and reflect more light. Therefore, pay attention to wall decoration with a slight sheen. It can be special wallpaper with silver threads or paint with a metallic sheen. 
Shine
Surely to brighten up the dark bedroom,you need to provide several light sources. It can be general lighting, accent lighting, illumination of niches and decorative elements, bedside lamps, floor lamps and sconces, cornice lighting. Each light source must be thought out for certain scenarios: reading books, relaxing, watching TV. By the way, an interesting option for creating the effect of daylight in a room is to decorate the ceiling or walls with a backlit stretch ceiling or glowing fabric. This way you can create the illusion of a second light or light from windows. Natalya Guseva, architect-designer: - In my opinion, the lack of bright light in the bedroom only plays into the hands - light interferes with sleep. But if the desire to make the room light is irresistible, you can play with lighting by making the walls, ceiling, or floor glow. guseva-style.com 
Stanislav Orekhov, interior designer:- I believe that in the bedroom you don't need a lot of light, but you should make a hidden backlight to create light lighting. Don't hang the chandelier in the middle of the bedroom - it will flatten the lighting. If possible, avoid using spot lamps - they can hit your eyes when a person is lying down. For a bedroom, dim sconces, cornice lighting and built-in lighting in architectural elements are perfect. She will set geometry and expand the space, making it cozy and interesting. d-e-s-i-g-n.ru 
Mirrors
Firstly, the mirror is an essential element inbedroom. Secondly, mirrors not only expand the space, but also reflect light. Finally, the mirror is an excellent decorative element. The main thing is to correctly arrange it. Konstantin Brovkin, architect: - Mirrors in the bedroom always add dynamics to the interior. In my projects, I often use full-wall mirrors with facets or decorative mirror elements to make the interior of the bedroom elegant and chic. At the same time, it makes the interior visually larger and lighter. If you place the mirror elements opposite each other, the room will take on the effect of infinity. It is also important to place the mirror so that, in the case of a dark room, it reflects the sun's rays not into the window, but into the apartment. brovkindesign.ru 
Decor
It is better to decorate a dark bedroom with objects.light shades, as well as shiny objects. As with mirrors, highlights create an additional play of light and shadow. Don't forget textiles. If you want to make the room brighter, it is better to remove it from the windows altogether or leave a light tulle. But the bed can be made with a light blanket with shiny threads.
