Not every home is blessed with great natural light, but you don\u2019t have to settle for a dreary studio or a shadowy hallway. While knocking more windows in the wall isn\u2019t always possible, there are less drastic ways to enhance what light you do get. Try these easy tips to brighten a dark space with natural light, no hard hat needed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Creative With Mirrors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-placed mirror can transform a small, dark space into an open, airy room. Prop a full-length mirror between two windows or hang one across from a window to create the illusion of an extra opening. Experiment with different locations\u2014behind dressers or lamps, on top of mantels, tucked into shelves, or as a kitchen backsplash\u2014to flood rooms with sunlight.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/get-creative-with-mirrors.jpg\" alt=\"Get-creative-with-mirrors\" class=\"wp-image-7916\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/get-creative-with-mirrors.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/get-creative-with-mirrors-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/get-creative-with-mirrors-680x480.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3e41869c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/m\/handyman\/shelf-mounting?utm_source=org_soc&amp;utm_medium=blg&amp;utm_campaign=&amp;utm_content=light_spaces&amp;utm_term=\" style=\"color:#fffce4;background-color:#0a2b14\">Book Mounting<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paint With White, Accent With Colors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">White paint is the best way to increase reflectiveness of a room, but steer towards off-white or light gray over pure white to keep it from feeling too jarring.
