It is impossible to meet rooms without windows in new buildings, but when rescheduling an apartment, such rooms often appear. Arranging a room without windows is not difficult if you know the basic rules. Let's look at how to properly arrange such a room.
What to look for when arranging a room without windows?
First of all, you should develop a design project for the room, and use the space rationally. There are several rules for decorating a room without windows:
- Choose white for the ceiling. This will make the room more comfortable and bright. A good option would be glossy stretch ceilings.
- Choose furniture and decor items so that they do not overshadow the space. No dark shades - only light and cheerful colors.
- The use of glass and mirror structures will help add lightness and light.
- Choose glossy coatings - they will reflect the rays entering the room and scatter them throughout the space.
- Room partitions can be made of glass blocks. They completely cover the inside of the room, but allow light from neighboring rooms to penetrate through them.
- The best choice of door is frosted glass. It will also help light from other rooms to enter the room without windows.
- Chrome and copper surfaces perfectly expand the room, which is often true for such rooms.
How to choose the right light sources?
If you are planning to make a windowless room habitable, take your choice of light sources seriously. Since sunlight cannot penetrate the room, its imitation should be created. For this, one large lamp or chandelier will not be enough. The most effective solution is to place several light sources in the room. The more of them, the brighter the room will become.
Only when using lighting from different positions can imitation of daylight be achieved, which is the primary task of the owners.
Note! With the correct design of a room without windows, you can not flaunt the lamps. Lighting should be natural, which means that its source can be hidden in a niche or occupy sections of the ceiling. Remember that the main stream of light should come from above.
The light from the lamps should not hit the eyes sharply. Since its purpose is to resemble a daylight stream, you should choose only those sources that give a soft diffused glow that not only illuminated, but also filled a significant part of the space. Do not stop at ordinary lamps, because they do not have such an effect.
In order for the space to become airy and brighter, you can use an LED strip. If the room has several bedside tables, cabinets, tables that occupy the room, you can put a tape between them that will reflect the light, and therefore expand the space. When designing a room without windows, do not forget that the main drawback, the lack of daylight, can be completely eliminated if you choose the right room to decorate and make it lighter, airier, brighter.
