Many housewives try to transform the interior for autumn and winter. And if the windows face north, then in the autumn-winter period this is a forced measure.

In cloudy weather, rooms look gloomy and dull.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how to make them lighter.

We change curtains and drapes

Lighter curtains and drapes will help transform the interior. It is advisable to choose plain fabrics without patterns.

The shades should be warm – peach, beige and others.

Changing the color of the walls

If there is not enough natural light, then sooner or later you will have to do some renovations and change the wallpaper.

Choose light colors of the warm spectrum. It is advisable to avoid blue, as well as corrugated materials.

Floor and ceiling

It may not be fashionable, but in a dark room a glossy stretch ceiling and a shiny light floor will liven up the atmosphere.

If renovation is not in the plans, the floor can be covered with a light, single-color carpet.

Let's figure out the decor

It is possible that you will have to get rid of unnecessary furniture and decorations. Sometimes this is enough to unload the space.

In other cases, the lack of light and space can be compensated for with mirrors.

Dark corners

Dark corners need light. The easiest way to do this is with a sconce, floor lamp or other lighting.

The interior will only benefit from this, and the room will seem warmer and cozier.
