3. Be transparent and open up the space

Choose paint colours that are neutral colors; like mushroom, white or light gray, to improve light in dark rooms. Choose wall colors from a range of lighter paint colors to lighten your room. You may add splashes color to your room by painting your ceiling or trim a different color; to create some warmth to the space.
5. Open up a dark ceiling with recessed lighting fixtures
Paint your ceilings white or light colors. Add recessed lighting fixtures if you can to brighten up the space. They add light to dark ceilings without destroying the great mood wood paneled ceilings or dark painted ceilings create. Add dimmer switches for control over our light source.
