Using the right colour and brightness of light bulb for the right tasks
will also help your room look and perform its best.
Embrace dark colours

What’s the best way to make the most of a dark room? The instinctive
answer might be to paint it bright white to reflect as much light as
possible. But this can give a dingy room an off-putting, grey-ish tone
that feels needlessly gloomy. Instead, embrace the dark side and paint
your walls in deep, rich hues to create an irresistibly cosy scheme that
draws you in. Lighten the mood with a few bright accents and make
sure you include plenty of layered lighting.
