Rearrange your lighting
It’s possible that the lighting in your home is not positioned in the right way. This may only require minor changes such as moving a lamp to another part of a room. Or it could require repositioning your ceiling lights. Lights can be easily forgotten about when updating a home. When extensions are added in or walls knocked down it can cause awkward positionings for your ceiling lights. Contact an electrician to get some advice on adding, removing and repositioning your lights. You can look at Electrician websites at Electrical Connection to find reputable electricians in your area. Remember always to call an electrician to carry out this work. Don’t risk electrocuting yourself by doing the work alone.

Use Mirrors

Go for an oversized mirror for a wonderful light source. Or group smaller mirrors together to create a similar effect. Try to position them near to windows or lamps to optimise their capabilities. You can also use mirrored furniture and accessories in your home. Trinket boxes and mirrored cabinets are a wonderful choice to help make your room feel larger and more luxurious.
