I need to brighten or lighten up my dark living room that has no windows really. I have white walls but a dark walnut tv/curio cabinet.

You could paint it or do a white-wash technique on it.

This first idea is to reflect the light that you do have:

How about adding some lighting to the cabinet?
If you don't want to paint it, you can add removable wallpaper or contact paper to the back of the cabinet.
