A 2014 study by the World Green Building Council showed that
access to a window improves cognitive functions and memory by 10-25%. At the
same time, natural light increases productivity in the workplace by about 20%.
If you are unfortunate enough to work in a windowless office
and you are wondering how you could brighten it up, Everything For Offices has some decorative
and imaginative suggestions (others than creative uses of artificial lighting)
that will transform the space, and the office will gain a welcoming atmosphere.
White walls
The power of white to subtly reflect any light source should
not be underestimated; on the contrary, it must be fully exploited. In a room
without windows, you can use white for both walls and ceiling.
Mirrors
A large mirror, placed on a wall, has the role of simulating
the presence of a window. It will reflect any form of light and, in addition,
it will bring depth to the room, eliminating the claustrophobic sensation.
Fake windows
Here is a trick you may have never thought of, but which
works very well. It is actually an optical illusion by which we trick the eye
to believe that beyond the window there is a source of natural light. In
addition, by adding a fake window, you will be able to connect a windowless
room to one where sunlight penetrates and thus maximize its effect.
