Choose light colors
I know this one is the most obvious. White or light colored walls and furniture have the biggest impact on how bright a room feels.

Contrast
Mostly bright whites with a hit of contrast like this pop of bright color or a darker wood tone can also make a room feel much brighter. And it avoids making the space seem washed out.

How things feel has an important effect on the lightness & brightness of a room, too. This element can be brought in through the accessories, window treatments, and floor coverings.
White, light-weight curtains take your eye right to the source of light: the windows.
