madbalsam Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I just recently painted my room a deep purple, I installed fluorescent lights in the room but it seems like the light just gets drowned by all the darkness. It looks cozy, but I would like a little more light for working, reading, changing clothes, and for other purposes. Would you suggest I paint the walls lighter, or find different lights for specific purposes? Or maybe leave one wall the current color, and paint the other walls a lighter shade of purple, or maybe some other color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand why you would need more lighting, have you tried may be lighter shades, like dusty mauve or rosy tan.

directlight Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Thanks for sharing. In my opinion, another idea is to spring for recessed lighting around the perimeter of the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
