In large cities, unfortunately, it often happens to live in medium-small apartments, in close-together buildings that do not allow proper solar lighting.
Light is very important for our well-being, living in a bright environment allows you to relax your eyes and enjoy an environment with excellent comfort.
So let's see how to give more light to an environment with few windows or little sun exposure
COLOR PALETTE
Certainly the light and neutral colors will best reflect the little light that filters through the windows. However small the space may be, a clear and neutral base will better reflect light . You don't have to use absolute white, but you can choose the many shades of white and neutral shades .

FLOORS
Even for the floors, it is preferable to use neutral colors. A single light floor, perhaps in wood , is perfect for small homes. If you have no way to place a light floor, you can use carpets in bright colors to illuminate the floors.
MINIMAL ORGANIZATION AND ORDER
The best containers in a home are certainly cabinets , but you can't fill a small house with many cabinets because you have a lot of things to store. Remember to make a selection of what you have, delete what you don't use. Use decluttering as your best ally to make your home always tidy and organized, so any room will immediately seem bigger and brighter.
MUST HAVE THE MIRRORS
If you cannot paint the walls in light colors and neutral or you prefer to have a wall with a contrasting color, remember that the mirrors allow you to give depth to the environment. In fact, mirrors reflect light , enlarge the spaces and give depth with their reflection. You can choose a suitable wall, preferably on the opposite side of the window or near it. Here you can place a large mirror or a composition of small and different sized mirrors. Choose a style of frames and mirrors that matches the rest of the furniture. A fairly simple solution, but with excellent results.
THE WALLPAPER
A trend that has been with us for a couple of years now is the use of the wallpaper to give character to an environment. These are not grandma's wallpapers, don't be afraid. Modern wallpapers give depth , brightness and decorate the room like a painting. Remember to choose light colors to give brightness.
