With the holidays fast approaching, there’s no better time to redecorate your home! If you’re trying to figure out what to change, take a look at the lighting. Bright house lighting makes for a light and airy living room and is one of the best ways to make your home look a bit more spacious. If you’d like to see some of the best ways to brighten a room, we’ve got you covered! Here are a few of our favorites!
Add a Light Source
This may seem obvious, but it’s still well worth mentioning. If you have a bit of empty space in a room that feels a bit dark, adding a decorative light source like our Cyan Design Vista Table Lamp kills two birds with one stone! Both a classy décor piece and a warm, calming light, it’s just the thing to create the perfect home environment.
Light-Colored Wall Art

Interestingly enough, you can make your living room feel brighter and more spacious with something as simple as a lighter-colored painting or poster. For example, this minimalistic set of two lotus paintings will create a gentle, natural aesthetic and open up your living space perfectly!
Chic Flower Pots
While we’re on the subject of a natural aesthetic, let’s talk about houseplants, or more specifically, how you’re storing them. A flower pot doesn’t have to be the standard, brick-colored pot. In fact, changing things up with this chic wicker flower basket from Katoot will keep things fresh and interesting while adding more light color tones to your living room.
Stylish Vases

Though the colors to brighten a living room we’ve covered have been much more on the natural side, what about metallic? This set of three Tianna Gold Vases from Aspire Home Accents brings radiant golden colors to your living room, creating a sleek, modern aesthetic that works perfectly with any contemporary home décor.
Light Wallpaper
Last but not least, let’s talk about the color of the walls again. If you want to take a direct approach to lighten up your home, consider using light-colored wallpaper. This subtle, neutral-colored Meadow Wallpaper from NuWallpaper is a perfect match for rustic, natural décor, with a leafy pattern that brightens up the room and creates a sense of serenity.

Best of all, applying it is as simple as sticking it to the wall, so creating the perfect living room aesthetic is simpler than ever.
It doesn’t take much to brighten up your home for the holidays, and with the help of HomeLoft, the perfect décor is just a few clicks away!
