If you wish to optimize the daylight flowing through the windows of your well-designed apartment in Westfield, consider using mirrors or other reflective decor. Position a large, leaning mirror in your personal space or situate smaller mirrors opposite windows. Adhesive mirror tiles are great for dim hallways.

What you select for decor will also impact how cheery and bright a space feels. Metal accessories and wall art reflect light in a similar manner as mirrors. Even a shimmering tray on a coffee table can bounce light up. Lucite or glass furniture permits light to shine through and provides an elegant touch. You may also brighten a room with light-colored rugs and textiles. 

If you use heavier curtains, try switching them out with light, sheer fabrics. Tension bars are terrific for a simple, damage-free installation. You may also discover light-filtering cellular shades that adhere to walls with no drill required.
