False windows can solve a lot of problems in the arrangement of space, which previously were considered insoluble. A small distance between the windows is considered by many as a significant drawback, until it encounters the problem of the correct organization of space in such a section of the premises. If such a "penny" between them is very small, the picture will create a feeling of cluttered space. The combined cornice will help to get rid of this undesirable effect. Thanks to this trick, windows will seem much larger than they actually are, and the room will be perceived to be more spacious. If it is decided to place a false window in the partition, it is better to choose its mirror variant.

Do curtains need an illusory interior
Required! They will make the window even more like the present. An interesting solution is the simultaneous use in the decoration of a window falsh of two curtains, one of which is real, and the other is painted. If the room is decorated in country style, a wide window sill is mounted to the window, where the indoor flowers are placed. Illuminated decorative objects can perfectly cope not only with an aesthetic but also a functional role. In rooms with a low level of natural light illusory windows in the interior are used as additional lamps. In such cases, not external, but internal illumination is used: the light source is mounted in the inside of the window. This stylistic decision becomes gradually traditional, without losing its originality in the transformation of space. However, the important thing here is the correct choice of the surface of the decor element, because "the level of reliability" of the window falsely depends on it. Back to contents</a>

Varieties of false windows. There are various types of false constructions, the basis of which is the technology of their installation. For example, false windows can be drawn on a wall. Preliminary specialists create a sketch, the image from which is transferred to the surface of the wall. Then a frame is mounted to this structure. This is also a very laborious and laborious process, and it begins with the selection of materials. To solve the problem, natural and artificial textures are widely used. A frame for false windows can be created independently, if there is no possibility to pay for the services of a professional designer. To decorate an apartment or house with such a construction will be required:
- old wooden doors;
- a set of joiner's tools;
- window fittings;
- paint, varnish.
Frame window falseness is a bitmodified door design, attached to the wall. At the final stage of manufacturing, the wooden frame parts are polished, covered with paint or varnish. The use of Plexiglas is widely in demand in the manufacture of false constructions. False windows with plexiglas look realistic. It is important to properly perform the installation technology. In the beginning, the construction lines are applied to the wall, then the plexiglass is fastened over them. The final stage is the installation of the frame. The latter can be made in an even simpler way. The modern interior of premises provides various applications of polyurethane moldings. Their installation is carried out by gluing on the surface. Moldings mounted on the transitions to the wall, to highlight on it a false window. But such structures with frames have one significant drawback: inside them there is no possibility to establish a highlight that would emphasize the originality of the window and its reliability. 
Picture 1. In the bedroom, a false window can be placed on the ceiling, picking up a view from the sky. Painted falsh constructions are especially convenient because they can be used in any premises, whose interior needs to be adjusted. For the installation of such decor elements, mirrors are increasingly used, which makes it possible to visually expand the space of the rooms visually. Simulating a window using mirrors is done using two technologies:
- with the use of a single mirror;
- using an interlaced frame.
In the first case, the basis of the false window ismirror cloth, which is mounted on the wall. The frame of this decor element can be made of natural wood or artificial materials. Window sill, flowers, curtains are mounted on the false window only after installing the mirror. The second variant of manufacturing an interior is more painstaking. Initially, pieces of mirrors are inserted into the cells of the interlaced frame. They are often replaced with plexiglas or polystyrene. And only then the finished structure is mounted on the wall. If the basis of the decor is a mirror, it is necessary to correctly position in the space of the room the items that play it out. This imitation of the window does not need heavy curtains or intricate decor items, because its main element is the mirror surface, which is in itself an ornament. But not only the mirror of the illusory window can turn a dark corner of an apartment or house into a work of art. To cope with this task will help photowall or poster, which can be used as the basis of the window. (рис.1) Experts advise to use for installation of false constructions and photoprint. In such cases, a light source can be mounted in the window. To solve the problem, the frame is not mounted tightly to the wallpaper. The false window and the frame are specially separated by a small space, which is sufficient for the installation of lighting fixtures. But there is one nuance: for a very small niche such an illusory window will not work, as it will visually narrow the space. Back to contents</a>
Niches - create, ceiling - enlarge
A niche scheme under a false window in the ceiling. A fashionable design method is the special creation of artificial niches in order to install a false window in them. Such innovation will cost the owner of real estate inexpensively, when gypsum cardboard is used in the manufacture of niches. A variant of design is considered as a trend, if such a construction is placed in a frame of expensive wood species, for example, oak. But for heavy false structures, heavy frames are not required. Ceiling false window is considered today a more fashionable element of decor than a wall. For arrangement of premises 2 types of installation are used:
- a false window is installed in the finished niche of the suspended ceiling;
- equipped with a system of suspended and stretched ceilings.
In the first case, the window is surrounded by frames from molding. In the second variant, there are more possibilities for using a system of highlights, including flickering ones. The most popular is the design "with a view" of the starry sky. An equally impressive and widely sought after element of the decor is the illusion of the attic. For it, a stained glass falsh window, which can be of various shapes: round, semicircular, arched, fits perfectly. In any case, in order to create the desired effect, it is important to choose the right image, which is the main detail of the false design. When a false window is placed in a country-style room, it will require views of a flowering meadow or small pond. The window in the marine style resembles a porthole in which floating inhabitants of the water abysses are "visible".
