The benefits of a light-filled home can’t be overstated enough, say the designers. A light, bright interior is welcoming, creates the feeling of more space, and boosts a feel-good mood. But what if your living space is dark, north-facing, and maybe even windowless? Is there anything you can do to make dark, dingy rooms look and feel as good as a home flooded with natural light?
Luckily, yes, there is! And the experts are here to show us how to plan your home lighting scheme that can elevate even the darkest room — from kitchens and bathrooms to hallways and dining hubs — into warm, inviting environments. “When approaching a dark room, lighting is one of the most transformative tools at your disposal,” says Kunal Trehan, designer and founder of Touched Interiors. “The aim isn’t just to make the space brighter, but to create layers of light that bring depth, warmth, and mood, ensuring the room feels inviting and intentional rather than simply ‘lit’”.
