Reflect Daylight With Mirrors

If you wish to make the most of the natural light streaming through the windows of your roomy apartment in Carmel, you can use mirrors or additional reflective decor. Position a sizeable, angled mirror in your personal space or situate smaller mirrors across from windows. Adhesive mirror tiles are great for dark hallways. Offered in a wide range of styles and sizes, mirrors can blend with any kind of decor. 

Choose Brightness-Enhancing Decor

What you choose for decor will also affect how cheerful and bright a room feels. Metal pieces and wall art reflect light similar to mirrors. Even a shimmering tray on a tabletop can direct light upward. Glass or lucite furniture allows light to pass through and offers a stylish touch. You could also brighten an area with lighter-colored rugs and textiles. 

If you use heavier curtains, switch them out with airy, sheer materials. Tension bars are fantastic for a simple, wall-safe installation. You may also discover light-controlling cellular shades that attach to walls with no drill required.
