Windowless room design

In modern apartment buildings there are no dwellings without windows. Current regulations prohibit such a layout. The exception is rooms that appeared after redevelopment. Getting permission for such changes is easy, because it is the right of tenants. The interior of a windowless room can look stylish and unusual. This design fits into the modern concept, which is characterized by non-standard solutions. A room without a window opening is suitable for applying interesting design ideas. It can be arranged both for an adult and for children. In studio apartments consisting of a hall and secondary zones, it is necessary to create a separate room with the expectation that children will soon grow up. This is doubly relevant if they are of different sexes. A boy and a girl will be able to live separately, and some of them - in a separate room.

Pros and cons of rooms without a window

Among the main disadvantages of premises without windows is the lack of a natural source of lighting. Long stay under the influence of light from artificial illuminators affects mood and state of health. The air in the room needs to be refreshed, and airing it in the usual way will not work - additional inconveniences are associated with this. A fan will help solve the problem. Another disadvantage is that only tennis-resistant plants can take root in a room without a window.


  

An additional problem is the lack of a direct view to the street. The light in this room should be lit constantly, so you have to pay more for electricity. It will take a considerable number of fixtures, which would entail additional costs. Living in a room without windows has its advantages. Heat in such a room is kept better than in a normal one. There is a wide variety of options for decorating it. In the modern interior is easy to find a place to place without a window. Such rooms look original and create a harmonious transition between areas of the apartment.

The closed room will give practicality:

  • Low furniture.
  • Wide entrance.
  • Light control system.
  • Built-in decorative elements.

It is better to pay attention to the design of a room without windows, than to make attempts to improve natural light.

 

The choice of colors

Coloring plays a key role. Designers do not recommend overloading the interior of a windowless room with a wide palette of colors. Space, not counting posters, pictures and false windows, it is better to make one-colored. Use noble colors: coffee, cream, ivory. Most preferably look pastel shades. Bright gamma will make the room more comfortable, more visually. Visually increase the room can be due to the selection of furniture of the same color as the wall. If the apartment has a bedroom without windows, then it should be made out to your taste. You can combine bright and dull, warm and cold, classic and mixed colors.


 

Dark inserts and bright accents will serve as a good complement to the muted background. The ceiling is half a tone lighter than the walls. It is better to paint it white. Shades of white will be the best option for the color of the entire room. The floor may be darker than the walls. However, it is better to trim it with light tiles.

Ceiling decoration

The top of the room can not be painted in dark colors, but it looks good pictures. The ceiling can significantly improve the appearance of the room in which there are no windows. For this purpose, additional elements are used. The ceiling surface can be arranged in several ways. One of them is the sticking of photo wallpapers with painted sky and clouds. Additional lighting directed towards the ceiling will make the effect more pronounced.

 

Stretch ceiling designs with the image of the solar sky and saturated illumination are pertinent. In such an environment will look good ceiling false window. First set the backlight (it is desirable that the light was a cold shade). After that frosted glass with several sections is fixed and the image of the sky and various objects at the edges. For the construction will require a form of drywall. The volume of the room will decrease due to this, but additional lighting and a large false window on the ceiling will improve the atmosphere.

Wall design

Vertical surfaces are recommended to make out mirrors and panels. A large number of lighting fixtures are placed on all walls. In some cases, the walls can be replaced by movable partitions. If this is not possible, then other options may be appropriate: glazing a part of the horizontal surface or increasing the doorway. Several interior windows under the ceiling will improve illumination, will eliminate the need to use a large number of lamps.

Instead of windows you can mount colored glass blocks. Paired with a simulated window, it looks good false fireplace. Beautifully looking rooms with solid lighting around the perimeter. It is mounted from the bottom, less from above. A room without a window can be converted into a nursery. To arrange it in an interesting game style, you can use wall stickers and various relief elements. The design of the nursery will complement the colored glass.

Choice of furniture

When choosing furniture and decorative elements, you should pay attention to the presence of a surface with reflective or transmittance. Suitable metal vases, transparent chandelier. If you need a coffee table indoors, it is better that it has a glass tabletop. If you furnish a room with a large number of reflective objects, the light, reflected from them, will increase the degree of illumination. Glare should not be too much, as it provokes irritability and discomfort. It is worth getting a spacious, but compact wardrobe with mirrored or glossy doors. All furniture should be selected in a light color. In addition to metal, the interior will also fit natural shades. If the finish is too monotonous, then it is diluted with a pair of bright accessories. A good solution would be to buy furniture of unusual shape to shift the focus from a fake window to interior items.

   

The design of a room without windows can be presented in the following styles:

  • constructivism;
  • techno;
  • high tech;
  • bio tech;
  • postmodernism;
  • Provence

    

Lighting

Light should be made as saturated as possible, close to natural. Conventional bulbs are replaced by fluorescent lights. It is important that the light in the room spreads evenly. The corners are lit to the same extent as other places. The interior uses all kinds of lighting devices. Floor, table, wall and ceiling lights provide multi-zone lighting.

From above it is better to install several small lamps. Their mission is to complement the main chandelier. The space between the furniture is suitable for placement of LED strips. Decor elements, a set of furniture and paintings also require lighting. Lighting the base of the bed or sofa will eliminate the feeling of limited space. Arrangement of one of the walls with a large number of lighting fixtures aimed at the central part of the room creates the impression of the presence of natural light.

Ventilation

If the room is not sufficiently ventilated, humidity will increase in it, and then a fungus may appear. In such rooms, natural ventilation is replaced by intake. It is necessary that in one hour the volume of fresh air, twice its own volume, enters the room. On the wall, you can install airgel. From the side of the street, a grill is applied to the device to protect it from moisture and insects. Purified and warmed air enters the room through the duct. Install airgel it is necessary at a small height from the floor. Installation of the entire system will take no more than two hours. Air conditioning can be used both as an alternative and in conjunction with the airgel. The air conditioning unit is portable and able to cool the air, and not just heat it. A good solution would be to install an ionizer. It is also capable of purifying the air, and not only circulate stagnant masses. To refresh the room additionally use different containers with aromatic substances.

Experts recommend using air conditioning with airgel.

Mirrors are used without restrictions - the more, the better. The beautiful appearance of the room is able to compensate for such a disadvantage as the lack of a window.
