A kitchen is more than for cooking. It is the heart of the house where you share laughs, talks, and much more. It is important to have a kitchen space that is more vibrant and inviting. However, lack of natural light can make the kitchen gloomy and dull. Read through these solutions to transform your dull kitchen into a bright space.

1. Lighting Can Do the Trick :- If your kitchen lacks natural light, play with lights to add the needed brightness. Introduce different layers of lighting to add depth instead of one big light. A task light, added with spotlights and recessed lights can elevate the brightness quotient without making it too loud. A recessed ceiling fixture can add instant warmth to the kitchen while being really helpful for performing everyday tasks in the kitchen.

2. Paint the Walls in Light Colors :- It is no news that light colors reflect light. To brighten up your kitchen, paint the walls in tones of white, yellow or other light shades. In addition to the walls, paint the cabinetry in light shades to have a seamless flow of surface which will make the kitchen look brighter and feel airy.

3. Or Add a Touch of Metallic Shine :- If plain white cabinets sound too dull and boring, go for metallic cabinets instead. It will enhance the style quotient while adding the missing luster and brightness to the kitchen. Gloss paints on the doors and moldings help reflect the little available light in the room. Reflective materials such as granite and marble can add to the overall effect.

4. Bring in Light with Strategic Placement of Mirror :- The absence of a window can make the kitchen feel claustrophobic. Placing a mirror strategically to reflect maximum light will give the illusion of a bright and expanded space. If your budget permits a slight remodeling, you can also opt for a wall-to-wall mirror or explore the option of a skylight. When opting for a framed mirror, select a design that complements the style, color and decorating theme of your kitchen.
