(Dan Tri) - A space without windows will be quite stuffy and cramped, making you tired and drained of energy. The way to improve the space is to increase the light and bring natural elements inside.
In big cities like Hanoi, there is no shortage of houses or apartments that have some rooms without windows. These spaces often create a feeling of silence, claustrophobia and lack of air circulation. Here are some solutions to help improve the space for these rooms.
Brighten up the space

The first solution to improve a windowless space is to make the space brighter. The human eye is not designed to adapt to dark spaces, so entering a dark and stuffy room will often make you feel uncomfortable.
You should paint your walls in light colors like white, cream, light blue or off-white. These colors help reflect light, making the space feel more airy and comfortable.
Use artificial light
You should use an artificial lighting system that simulates natural light as much as possible. Choose lamps with a high color rendering index, quality light that does not cause glare or darkness. You should also use lamps that can adjust the color to natural light or can adjust the brightness according to your needs.
You should avoid light bulbs that create a feeling of darkness, poor quality, and rapid deterioration. In addition, you can use light curtains on the ceiling to create a soft light source. The light spread evenly from the curtains helps the space become more comfortable visually, reducing the feeling of claustrophobia.
Use a reflective mirror

Mirrors have the ability to reflect light and create virtual depth for space. Placing a large mirror in a room without windows helps create the feeling of space without end, reducing the feeling of claustrophobia.
However, you need to place the mirror so that it does not reflect too many cluttered objects, causing confusion. The mirror should reflect open spaces or light to create the best effect.
Use glass partitions
You can use glass partitions or glass doors to get extra light from other spaces. Another good way is to create a "fake window" by placing a light box with a light grid system and fake plants inside.
The outside of this box is covered with decals or frosted mica. This will create the feeling of having a real window with natural light and greenery. This arrangement will help reduce the feeling of claustrophobia and stuffiness in the space.
Bring nature into your home

You can bring nature into a windowless room by hanging large landscape paintings with themes such as grasslands, seas, mountains, or flowers. These paintings will trick the eye into thinking there is a window looking out onto nature.
In addition, you can place a fish tank to create a sense of movement, reducing the static feeling of the space. Another way is to arrange ceiling fans and decorative curtains. The movement of air, the curtains will help reduce the stuffy space.
Use fresh air supply system
With the development of science and technology, providing fresh air to the entire space will help this room to be air-conditioned. The fresh air supply system also provides clean air to the room, recovering heat.
Houses without windows often have higher humidity, this fresh air solution will solve the humidity problem and balance the humidity.
Change of use
In case you cannot apply the above solutions, change the purpose of the room. Instead of making it a bedroom or living room, you can turn it into a storage space. This helps optimize the function of the space and avoid the feeling of claustrophobia when using it for other purposes.
