Without a picture kinda hard to advice. But you can add a skylight, put in a new larger window or sliding door.
Paint the walls a light color in a higher shine paint like satin or semi-gloss. Add mirrors opposite the windows you do have to increase reflectiviity.
I even painted my ceiling a bright arctic white in a satin finish and it made a world of difference in the room brightness.
Add more lamps. Change your bulbs to LED from incandescent, they are brighter.

Oh forgot the solar tube is an easy ceiling light to install and maintain versus a skylight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9jncUzOL8I
