How to add light to a dark apartment Bashny.Net

The apartment in which the window is almost does not look the sun - it is a real challenge for its inhabitants. Barrier daylight sometimes become loggia or built in front of a tall building.

In addition, the housing with the windows facing the north, makes us look for opportunities to "brighten" the interior space. There are various techniques that can help to cope with this task. Their basic principle - the maximum use of the white color in the interior

Glazed loggia (or a balcony) largely diffuse daylight. The situation is changing in many ways. Start with the window frames and balconies and in the room. They must be white - it is maximum reflectance

. Add a little light and glossy white window sills on the balcony and on the inside of the window.

"Wrong side" visor hanging on the glass loggia, painted with white paint, too. Sills is completely free from pots of potted flowers, figurines and other items that prevent the penetration of light.

In cloudy weather, cheer up fixtures included in the loggia. On the street rain, but the apartment is enough light. This acts.

Curtains on the windows in the dark apartment must be light. Blue, brown, gray and deep burgundy absorb 20-30 percent of the light. Tulle - only the white, thin, preferably without embroidery and printed pattern

. In the room adjacent to the lodge will be much brighter after dismantling located between the window unit. Before doing so, insulated exterior wall and loggia equipped with electric underfloor heating. Do not forget to get permission for such alterations.

If there is a loggia, add light to the room, expanding the right window slopes. Right angle relative to the wall is not enough. The refurbished room is not worth anything to alter, it is better to look for other methods. But if you have to repair, keep in mind that the so-called sunrise angle in finishing slopes should be at least 10 degrees.

It has long been known for a way to make the room brighter - paint the walls with white paint or paste over a very bright wallpaper. However, not all accept this "sterile" finish. But it is worth to stop the choice on most light tones of the selected color. It does not matter, "warm" this shade or "cold". The main thing that was the most razbelen. "Pale" walls absorb a minimum luminous flux.

Finishing materials with a slight pearlescent increase reflectance. If you decide to apply all measures to turn dark in the room light and airy, you will have to re-stick wallpaper.

No less important is the color of the flooring. It should match the tone of the wall material. Lacquered surface will reflect all the light that is around and bring the desired result.

It is understood that the ceiling must be white. Glossy stretch ceiling suitable for rooms with a ceiling height of more than 270 cm, while all recognized home furnishings will not be evident. Typically, gloss in a residential space such light does not look like on the sample. Here, the principle of increasing the luminous flux due to the large reflective surface almost does not work. However, this is a subjective opinion, the manufacturers claim otherwise.

As for furniture, there is more gentle, and transparent polished better. Glass tables do not create a barrier to light, white furniture reflects daylight and artificial light. But at the same openwork metal support for a transparent coffee table will not spoil the experience. Just like wrought headboard.

Work on the necessary result of chandeliers, floor lamps, wall lamps, table lamps with light-colored or colorless transparent shades and caps.

At dusk the lights placed in the darkest corners of support ease the feeling of space. It will further strengthen its reflected light from the ceiling upward chandelier bulbs. Energy-saving lamps do not attract dust, dark spots on the ceiling will not appear. To install suspended ceilings with chandeliers bulbs oriented downwards.

When the repair of "grim" apartments is planned only to make a list of the necessary measures setting white interior doors. Some of them are with transparent or frosted glass inserts.

It seems that in the room was too white? Then add a bit of bright colors in the finish. By the way, pure yellow color creates a sunny atmosphere in a dark room. Balance the excess white medium-sized parts black interior.

Bright paintings, cushions, floor vases, houseplants "dilute" the excessive color uniformity. But here too it is impossible to overdo it, to not deviate from the main goal - to create the illusion of "air" space

. Work on the idea of ​​mirror panels, picture frames, small mirror in a golden frame. They reflect located opposite the white parts of the interior.

To achieve the desired result will have to change a lot in a dark apartment. Then the room will not only considerably lighter and optically increase in size. And will change the overall impression of the housing.

It would be nice and friendly.
