False window - a new look at the expansion of space

In the process of implementing their own ideas and implementing original ideas, modern designers have become much more likely to resort to false designs in the interior. Thanks to such solutions, you can not only add a “twist” and decorate the room, but also decide a wide range functional tasks - visually increase the space, make the room voluminous, hide existing deficiencies or add more light.

Sometimes we come across rooms where there are simply no window openings, or it is not possible to install traditional windows. In such cases, fake windows are ideal helpers. Images for them have the most diverse surface, ranging from painted landscapes, posters, photographs, framed by frames, and ending with the inclusion of forged elements or dried flowers. Thanks to the chic assortment of polyurethane molding, you can easily choose a decent frame that will act as a window opening.

Depending on the purpose of creating a false window, it is important to carefully approach the issue of selecting the image itself. Volumetric paintings that have a special perspective that goes into the distance look quite impressive. That is, it is desirable that this was not just a pine forest or skyscrapers of New York, but also a path, an automobile route extending beyond the horizon.

Fake Window Types

1. Mirror window. The task is to maximize the space. An ordinary mirror is used here, as well as mirror tiles. The composition can be supplemented with a thematic pattern. Installation is carried out on a flat wall with subsequent framing in a frame for a “window” binding. As additional elements, you can use curtains, shutters, flowers in vases, windowsill.
2. Image made by the hand of the artist. The task is to revitalize space, add freedom, emphasize the theme of style. The wrist in the hands of the master is able to embody any, even the most extraordinary idea, whether it be an erupting volcano or a mountain lake. However, looking for an artist-decorator, it is important to consider that he should have a good imagination and special abilities. Only in this case, the painted fake window will really decorate the interior.
3. Window on the ceiling. The task is to simulate a glass roof in a room. Such an idea, as a rule, is carried out on suspended ceilings with subsequent framing molding. The surface should be flat. As an image, the starry sky looks unusual, twigs of flowering trees that seem to lean towards the window, snow-white clouds through which the playful rays of the sun break through. The highlight here will give a flickering backlight.
4. The window is in a niche. The task is to emphasize a niche in the wall, to get an additional light source. As an image, wallpaper with a favorite theme is perfect. It is important to mount the frame for such a false window a little forward, so that you can set the backlight. The design can be decorated with realistic decorative elements.

To make such a window with your own hands, you do not need to have any complicated knowledge. Even beginners can easily cope with this business. It is enough to mark on the wall the place where the structure will be located. Then fix the selected image (poster, photo wallpaper with a landscape, mirror, painting) and use dowels to attach a frame for a false window around the perimeter of the picture. To achieve greater realism, it is worth using plexiglass, curtains on the curtains, a window sill with flowers and, of course, the original lighting.
