Extra Light

White for anything with a large surface area – I know this is an obvious choice, but people somehow forget when designing that the colour white not only makes a space look bigger and brighter but also creates energy. The colour white reflects and continues to reflect into areas of the room. That includes any light from wall paint, white, sheer curtains, or even a bed cover! Now, I’m not saying to go and make everything white (as if you know me, my life is colour). What I’m saying is don’t be afraid to use the white as a base and then layer after with the likes of art or throw cushions, etc. You’ll be amazed by just how healthy your home life becomes with that extra light!

Bouncing Light

Mirrors – These are your best friend; not only does a mirror reflect our image, but it also can enhance a space by bouncing light around the room. Do you remember at school how a single water droplet can magnify light if watered at the right time of day? Well, it is the same as mirrors; these will act as a mirror to reflect natural light around the room. So next time you are in a small space and need more light, look at adding a full-length mirror to enhance the space, and help light bump around the room.
