Sick of that dark room in your house? These easy tips of ways to brighten your home will freshen up even the dingiest space.

1. Going for a fresh, lighter look in your living room? Pay attention to wall color, curtains, rugs and mix neutrals and darks with brighter colors.

2. Wherever possible, search for white furniture, rather than dark colors. Think white bookcases, white credenzas, cream couches, and white tables

3. Work with the unique qualities of your room. Unfussy window treatments let the light come pouring into a room. Simple chairs and no tablecloth keep things simple.

4. Is there a large plant or large piece of furniture blocking the light in your house? Move it! Put large pieces of furniture on opposite ends of a room from where your windows are. That way, your room will receive the most natural light possible.

5. Use sheer white or other neutral colour  curtains.
