Japanese panels

A room is also considered dark or bright based on the windows, the balconies and their orientation with respect to light.

For such walls, if it is possible you must opt for a wall in alternate materials, like translucent glass, fiber or the latest trend Japanese Panels. A long wall that only has a small window is ideal to cover with a large surface of Japanese panels, preferably in light tones, which diffuse the light that enters through them.
