If the windows of an apartment face north, it can hardly be called bright and warm. The same applies to apartments that abut a tall building next door.

Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, advises, at a minimum, to think through several lighting scenarios.

However, this solution is not always sufficient, so when arranging your home, be sure to take into account the important points discussed in this article.

Correct temperature of light bulbs

Your job is to choose the right temperature for your bulbs. Cold daylight is not an option: in this situation, it is better to choose a warmer shade.

Rich and vibrant shades

For textiles and large furniture, it is necessary to use rich and bright shades. By the way, the same rule applies to the walls in the apartment. The most suitable colors are yellow, orange and mustard.

White

Since white is a particularly popular color in interior design, this point deserves special attention: if you decide to paint the walls white, choose warm tones. For example, if we talk about a Scandinavian interior, the best solution would be to use “Stockholm white” – it looks very cozy in a dimly lit room.
