Looking for ideas on how to make a dark room brighter? You are most definitely not alone. Spaces with plenty of natural light are a pleasure to spend time in and contribute to a sense of well-being, while dark, gloomy and badly lit rooms are the opposite.

From converted basements and lofts to newly formed rooms within remodelling projects that have been created by stealing space from two existing rooms.
