How to Transform a Room Without Windows: Fresh Ideas

For some reason, it is common to think that a room without windows can only serve as a storage room or dressing room.

However, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, fundamentally disagrees with this opinion.

She believes that if the lack of light is compensated for and the unpleasant feeling of being in a confined space is eliminated, the room can be used as a bedroom or even a living room.

Perhaps the simplest thing you can do in this case is to create an imitation of a window.

Hang curtains on a rod where the window should be, and install a light and fan behind the curtain to compensate for the lack of light and wind.

Another option is to decorate the room with a canvas or photo of a beautiful landscape, necessarily in light shades.

A good solution would be photo wallpaper or panel moldings with backlighting.

To enhance the feeling that there is a window in the room, use mirrors.

You can also install a virtual window in the room, which is a kind of augmented reality in the apartment.

The window opening in this case is represented by several digital panels that create a semblance of window sashes, but most importantly, it has high-resolution video content.

The video sequence is turned on by the smartphone and can be absolutely anything, depending on your mood.

A false window can be complemented with a cornice with curtains and a window sill, or both at the same time.
