How to gain light in windowless spaces


We all dream of a home large where a large amount of light enters through our windows naturally every morning to let us start the day in a better mood, and yet the reality is often quite different: we must settle many homes in the one or more of the rooms (bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, etc…) do not even have windows.


How to win light in these areas completely closed? It may not be an easy matter to resolve, but certainly there are many ways you can maximize your chances.

- Lighting: You must be very well thought out, and that space will be without natural light or a single 24 hours a day. In this regard, we advise you to tailor a good system for general lighting in the ceiling with one or more focal points (depending on the dimensions of space) and you set other points of light side in specific places: in the bedroom side tables, by the sofa in the living room, on the dining table, above the bathroom mirror, on the hood of the kitchen, etc…, in confined spaces also avoids hanging lamps, attached to the ceiling as the best light expand the room.


- Color: Surely you're aware of the influence and the visual effect of colors in space although it is well to remember that light colors will enhance the growth of light (natural or artificial) while dark get everything otherwise. If you use both ranges, be sure to decant for light, neutral for larger surfaces (walls, furniture, etc…), and give a touch of color in side furniture and items for decoration.

- Transparent structures: furniture, ornaments and even walls and walls of plastic or glass are not only the most modern decor but also welcome the sunlight into every corner. Some good ideas are the picks for hands in clear glass, the glass walls or glass block clear plastic chairs (with or without color).

Finally, one last tip: take the opportunity to put mirrors on the walls of some of your stay, because not only an embellishment of the most elegant but also reflected help multiply the light around the room.
