Repaint

Mirror, mirror
Mirrors not only add an illusion of space, they can also make your interior brighter. Mirrors reflect light so it’s better to put one facing a window to catch those early morning sun rays.

Those towering bookshelves and plants may be blocking the light from entering your home. Put large furniture away from the window to avoid obstructing light from entering.
Clean up
