As we're heading into the colder months, we can expect less sunshine and earlier sunsets. This can make your home feel dark for a longer portion of the day. With many people still working from home, this is the perfect time to brighten up your space! Here are our top 5 tips on how to make your home feel brighter and livelier. 

• Install Mirrors - Adding mirrors to your space is great trick to make your room feel larger and brighter. Hanging a mirror close to a window can help reflect the light back into your room. 

• Adding some real (or fake) plants into your home will not only give you some fresh air, but it will also add life to your space! Choose plants with large, bright leaves to fill up an unused corner. 

• White walls are a popular trend for a good reason - they make your home feel clean and inviting! Try out an accent wall or a fun pop of art to bring some colour back into the room.

• This may seem fairly obvious, but adding some additional floor or wall lighting will help brighten up your room. There are many different styles of floor lighting to fit every home. 

• Heavy and dark curtains can make a space feel smaller than it actually is. Opt for sheer curtains to make your room feel light and airy.
