Pet Tricks here is how to make even light a room without windows

The ideal is to have a room lit by the sun in the morning and the afternoon, but sometimes this is not possible, especially when it comes to older buildings. But be careful. There are some solutions - and not for expensive force - to have more light in an indoor environment. How? He explains the architect Marina Fernández, of  Submarina Estudio .

• It 's impossible to have a window? Natural light is the source of life and positively influences the mood. So, the first thing that comes to mind is to create a window. But this, of course, implies a change in the facade of the building and it is not easy to perform. And not just for technical reasons. First, we should have the permission of the owners. Then there's the house rules, and each case is unique. And 'well, therefore, to carefully study the regulations.
• Without those important jobs, you can think of an alternative: playing with paint colors. Fernández explained: "The colors of paint in the room they play. vibrant shades for walls, furniture and decor can help to create a brighter space. "
• Also artificial lighting is essential . The architect said: "According to the use of space - work area, relaxation area or game - will want to use a type of suitable light to any room. Combining the central light with other devices at mid-height or on the ground, it is possible to obtain a type of lighting for every moment. The mirrors, in addition, help to multiply the light, creating an optical effect that enlarges the space. "
• Even the furniture is important , if not directly for the lighting of the room, for the perception of his greatness. Fernández explained: "The furniture and furnishings affect the brightness of the room and the perception of its amplitude. The order and the measures are essential, like a tailored suit. "
• Alternatively, if the location of the room allows, you can open up the room and make it communicate with another where there is a window. In this way you will have the illumination of sunlight. The architect said: "Furniture moving or sliding doors are systems that allow for flexible spaces, giving you the ability to expand and to communicate the rooms at will. You can have simple solutions, taste and cost. "
• Another solution is to "use transparent dividers, there are different types, thanks to which obtain different degrees of transparency."

There are many opportunities to give more "joy" in a room. It 's just a matter of taste and budget.
