    Can you place mirrors on the walls? That would reflect more light. Uplights are great too, especially under plants-it casts a great light in the room.

    Agree with using shade lovers...you can also put them outside in the spring/summer under the awning. My inside plants are doing better as I no longer have gas heat. My inside plants have never done well with gas heat in the home for some reason.

    Use shade loving plants as mentioned above. Can you use a lighter, brighter wall paint in the room to help lighten things up a bit as well? Perhaps a pale yellow or even a soft white to reflect light?

    Have you tried placing a mirror across from your current light source...that would reflect the natural light that is already coming into the room. Just a suggestion.
