We all have rooms that, because of their aspect, window sizes, low ceilings or the overshadowing of obstacles outside the window, are regarded as our darker rooms.
Before you even consider artificial solutions, finesse what natural light is reaching these areas, both from outdoors and from adjoining spaces. Space is space — that’s real metres and centimetres rather than acres of aesthetically realised “spaciousness”.
