Even the most luxurious and spaces houses, people often find there are areas that just do not get enough light. Houses that are quite deep and have rooms located the centre of the property suffer most as light is not sufficiently channeled to those areas. People can do something about this of course by adding skylight windows, reducing furniture and even restructuring parts of the house to open them up. However, most of these methods are very costly and time consuming and there are far easier ways to brighten up your life.

Mirrors. There is no easier way to transport light around your home than using mirrors. This is really down to the fact that almost all light that hits them is recycled and bounced back to other areas. Place them in carefully selected locations on walls so they reflect light from the window straight out of the room door. Have another mirror outside the room on the wall opposite the door to pick up the light and move it on.Use this trick wherever you are lacking light to get better distribution and an all over feeling of space.

Glass. You can call upon glass to break up the light and send it off in various directions, thus giving all parts of a room some exposure. Using wine glasses on tables and even glass vases on shelves with refract light and send it out at all angles giving an all over glow.If you refract light too much then it loses its power so make sure you don't go crazy with the glass items.

Combine. For the ultimate light manipulation, try using both the techniques described above in combination. Use mirrors to direct light through glass objects such as glass candle holders and then smaller mirrors to pick up the refracted light and move it on. In fact you'll be so taken aback by the extra light you can have in your home for such a small cost that you'll be wanting to optimise family and friends houses as well.
