MAKE A SMALL SPACE BRIGHTER & LARGER ( Sepecialis Windows )

inspiration: kitchen and bath ideas

If you have a small house or a small closed in room, a great way to make the space feel larger is to open it up visually with an interior window. You can find old windows at garage sales, second hand stores and old house parts stores. If you are handy or have access to someone who is, this would be a great project that could completely transform the feeling of your space.

Adding a window to a solid wall in a hallway, closet or small bath can make a space feel less claustrophobic.

Dividing walls can define a space, but by adding a window you don’t block all the light plus you add a charming detail to the space.

Even if you don’t actually put in glass, cutting out openings or avoiding a solid wall gives a more open feel.

Changing out a solid interior door for a glass door is another way to make a big impact by visually expanding your space.

If you want a quick or less permanent fix, a mirror can always stand in for a window.
And if you place it across from a real window, the impact is doubled!

You can even create “windows” outside to expand those dark corners!
Put mirrors on the outside of your house, hang them on fences and above potting tables!
