- Mirrors can significantly enhance natural light in dark rooms by reflecting and augmenting existing light sources. - Cuddler sectionals often create impractical negative space and may not offer the same comfort or functionality as traditional L-shaped sectionals. - In small, windowless rooms, incorporating dark, moody elements with contrasting lighter features can create a cozy, balanced space without feeling too oppressive.
