Answer
Yes, improving lighting helps balance rooms heavy in wood tones by enhancing contrast and brightness. Use layered lighting including natural light, floor lamps, and accent lights to soften wood’s deep hues. Warmer or neutral light temperatures complement wood without dulling color. Light reflected off pale rugs and textiles uplifts space, reducing any heaviness created by dark or orange-toned wood finishes.
