2. Maximize Natural Light

Lighting plays a critical role in how a room feels, and natural light is the most powerful source. Remove heavy drapes and opt for sheer curtains or blinds that allow light to filter in. Position mirrors opposite windows to reflect light and make the room appear larger.

If privacy is a concern, consider frosted films on windows instead of thick coverings. Maximizing natural light makes the room more cheerful and creates a sense of openness.
