Creating a Room With a View and No Windows

Many people buy a home or rent an apartment only because of the terrific view. Even though you adore the new home you find, it is missing something. The house has no view. A home that has few windows, small windows, no windows at all or a window that peeks out onto a brick wall or some other unattractive obstacle can make the room seem like it is slowly but surely "closing in" on you. A glimpse of the world outside makes any room feel larger and more open. There are ways that you can counter the effects of having no view in a room. With the right metal wall candle sconces and brass wall hanging for your wall, you will hardly notice that blinking neon sign lurking outside.

Mirrors Reflect Well on the Plan

In a room that has barely any natural light in it, covering the wall with mirrors can make a big difference. If you want to make a room seem more open visually, hang some mirrors on the wall. You can also use wall mirrors to create the illusion of having windows in the space by hanging and framing them. By joining together the sides and then ends, you can give the appearance of four individual windows on your wall. You can grow even more creative by adding window hardware to the display, as well as a snazzy rod and window treatment, or just by hanging a fabric valance along the top. By mirroring the window 'display' on the other wall, you can create a lot of light in your room. The mirrors will help to bounce light around the room giving it the illusion of being expansive. In fact, some people may not even notice that you do not have any windows in the room. The same illusion can be built with hexagonal mirrors, though you may want skip the window dressing on these more exotic shaped mirror 'windows'. Many little bathrooms do not have windows and the perfect venue for this type of mirror treatment.

Adding Wall Dimension with Metal Wall Hangings

Metal wall hangings can also work to add to the illusion of light and thus, space, and this is particularly true of wall art plaques that are embellished with mirrors. Adding smaller mirrors to a metal wall art hanging, you can create an artwork that is ever changing. By using wall sculptures, artwork with mirrors and shiny finishes in wall hangings, you can bring an easy, open feeling to even the most closed in room.

Using Paintings to Add a Beautiful View

Hanging a scenic painting on the wall is a great way to create a view where there is none. Scenic works of wall art can cover everything from snowy mountain scenes to busy beach scenes and many other selections in between. There are more paintings that you can picture just waiting to add a view to your cramped, windowless room.

When there is no Window Think About a Mural

If you have a room with an unattractive view, think about adding a wall mural to it offering something more interesting and pleasing to look at. Adding a mural on the wall can be a big project or a smaller one, and either will add interest and dimension to your windowless room. The only thing that limits your room's design is your own imagination, because you can find a mural to fit any shape and size. If you have a bit of an artistic flair, then choosing a wall and a painting your very own mural is a great way to inject a little of your own personality to a room.
