False windows in the interior with illumination

Today, you can find many ways to update the interior: replacing furniture upholstery, decorative partitions, or install a false window.

Often it is used in dark corners of a premise, and also for increase in space and giving to the house the "highlight".It can also hide the shortcomings of the repair done.

Application of false windows is becoming a fashion trend in interior design, which can be carried out not only by designers, but you can do it yourself.

In order to determine the "front" of works, it is necessary to deal with a variety of false windows.

Before you start the manufacture of the window with your own hands, you need a surface on which it will be fixed to make it even. If necessary, putty, remove all cracks.

You also need to make a markup to "not miscalculate" with the location.

Types of false windows

Falsh windows are:

• painted;
• specular;
• ceiling.

Painted

To make the falsh window look more harmonious, prepare a sketch first. The prepared drawing is attached to the wall and framed. The frames are glued or attached to self-tapping screws.

The frame will need to be sanded and painted( especially when wooden material is used) or simply treated with stain and varnished. You can use photo wallpapers.

The main thing that will have to be done is to take measurements correctly.

The cost of photo wallpapers is directly proportional to the selected material( paper wallpaper, silk, etc.).

False window can be supplemented with some elements.

It can be curtains, window sill, on which you can put a couple of pots with flowers. You can use Plexiglas on top of the picture, which will protect the cloth from dirt and add realism.

Frames can be replaced with polyurethane moldings, which are also dyed in a suitable color. If you use narrow moldings, then it is possible to make a binding.

In the interior of such a window will look beautiful, but to confuse it with the present will be impossible.

Mirror

Mirror, in the first place, designed to expand the space of the house. You can make it yourself, this requires a whole mirror canvas or a mirror tile. This sheet is fixed directly to the wall, previously aligned.

There are two options for making a false window from a mirror.

The first is that a frame with a grating imitating a binding is preliminarily prepared. To the frame is glued a mirror tile. And the entire structure is already attached to the wall.

In the second variant, the frame is first mounted to the wall, into which the mirror will be inserted. If necessary, you can make a binding using plastic moldings in the color of the frame.

The resulting window should not be "loaded" with curtains, window sills, because of this, the primary function is lost - increasing the space in the room.

Ceiling

False windows, located on the ceiling, look very nice, imitate the sky, add romance. How to do it?

The tension ceiling is first installed. In the place where the false window will be located, a niche is made. The "sky" is chosen, i.e.you need to choose a picture( picture, wallpaper): starry sky, clouds, birds, etc.

Our "sky" is attached to a niche located on the ceiling with the help of glue. The edges are attached frames( moldings) and, if necessary, binding. You can do this with your own hands.

On the ceiling is also often used stretch cloth with a picture of the sky and flickering illumination, examples are presented in the photo.

Application in the bathroom

Falsh windows are mostly designed to increase space, so they can be found in small rooms: in the bathroom, in the kitchen. On how to make a false window in the bathroom, we will consider in more detail.

Examples of windows are shown in the photo.

In the wall is a niche at the edges of which are installed lamps of soft lighting. In this case, all wires must be removed, additional sealing and protection from moisture are carried out.

Due to the high humidity for the fake window, the matte surface of the glass is used.

In the bathroom interior, you can use stained glass, as it "is not afraid" of temperature, moisture and various chemical agents. As an additional shelf you can make a window sill.

Illumination of false window

Designers have come up with many ways to diversify the interior of the house. Already ready false windows can be bought and installed without too much effort.

You can also take advantage of new developments, applicable in the interior, for example, acrylic face lighting.

Technology is the refraction of light rays scattered on the surface. Light turns out soft, his eyes do not strain.

This kind of lighting consumes little electricity, you can use houses as a sconce.

The light panel is correctly called "frameleight".A drawing, a poster or a picture is inserted into the box. If desired, you can additionally make a binding.

Falsh window with backlight can be purchased ready, and you can do it yourself.

First you need to make a box. To do this, you need to take a transparent plastic or plexiglass.

It is better to remove the protective film from the plastic at the end of the work to avoid unnecessary scratches.

Next we make the workpiece: for the base of the image, the lid, the walls of the box( accordingly 4 pieces), the bottom and the walls for the bottom( 4 pieces).

Prepared materials are collected with the help of glue for PVC.To fix the walls to the lid and to the bottom use corners.

Window manufacturing does not end there.

The bottom of the box is glued with foil to provide better light reflection. At the edges of the box is attached a LED strip with an indentation of 4 cm. To solder off pieces of tape should be sequentially from one coil.

Output to the transformer, using the usual "twisted pair".Then the wires are output to the outlet.
The picture is glued on the cover of the box. On the sides is glued the part that will bend.

The outer walls are then closed with a dense material that does not allow light to pass through. The lid is installed on the casing after the lighting is adjusted.

The box is installed in a niche prepared in the wall, as in the photo. The main thing is that the window should be flat, not skewed. The cracks remaining on the sides are closed with a mounting foam.

Frame material can be both wooden and plastic. The use of such windows refreshes the interior.

Decoration on the facade of the building

. When designing a house, do not forget about the facade of the building, first of all, we are talking about private houses. The modern beautiful interior in the room will not be in harmony with the dilapidated appearance of the building.

There are cases when the room has a sufficient number of windows for good lighting and for the rational arrangement of furniture, but the facade of a building on one side may look "empty".

How to make a false window in this case? To do this, prepare a niche. Its depth is equal to the depth of the lintel, the bottom of which is painted under a binder, or is filled with a lattice with glass attached to it( plexiglas).

If the facade of the building is wooden, then the window is imitated with a cushion cover, glass, it is possible to use shutters. In the photo there is a false attic window.
