Natural light for a dark bedroom

A dark bedroom is nice for sleeping, but that’s not the only use it has! Sleeping, napping, these are always sweet sounds that come to the ears, but bedroom is also a student’s office, a child’s playroom, or the place to read a favorite book lying on the bed. Are these activities, in a dark bedroom, really pleasant?

I have a dark bedroom with no access to natural light

The bedroom is a place of rest for many, and so natural light’s primary role is to wake up in the early morning. However, for any activity in this dark bedroom, artificial light is required, which causes headaches, eye pain. Here are some solutions to naturally light your dark bedroom and make the most of this warm bedroom:

Bring natural light into your dark bedroom, from painting to construction

Paint your dark bedroom a light color like white or beige increases the natural light (be careful not to fall into the hospital bedroom trap!). If you want to bring bright colors into your dark bedroom to add warmth as well, the wall facing your opening alters the brightness of the bedroom the least. To keep the harmony of your dark bedroom, which has become full of life thanks to natural light, always paint two walls that follow each other.

Remodeling a bedroom, especially your dark bedroom, is another way to gain natural light on a daily basis. Indeed, changing the direction of the bed, putting it on the other side of the room, moving a chest of drawers, a piece of furniture under the opening of your dark bedroom for example, already lets in natural light more easily.

Making another opening, opening the dark bedroom to the bathroom to make it a master suite, or redoing a partition to make a built-in closet, frees up access to natural light. It is a complete overhaul of your dark bedroom to get natural light from another room, or from an additional window. This solution requires material and human investment more or less bringing.
