A well-lit room always feels bigger than a dim one. Natural light works best, so avoid blocking windows with heavy curtains or furniture.
Use mirrors thoughtfully. A mirror placed opposite a window reflects light and extends the view, making the room appear almost double its size. This is not a trick; it is a principle used in both traditional Indian homes and modern design.
For evenings, layer lighting. A mix of ceiling lights, wall lamps, and floor lamps creates depth. A single harsh light flattens the room, while layered lighting adds dimension.
