How do you light up the back of a long flat?
The open kitchen, located in the continuation of the living room, is a frequent configuration. It gives a practical aspect to the dwelling with easy communication between the two most important living spaces of the dwelling.
This arrangement of rooms can give the impression that the flat is long. This effect is further enhanced when the openings are only present on the living room side. The back of the room, on the kitchen side, remains very dark. What can be done to improve the situation?
Far from the windows, the back of the room is dark
In this configuration the space furthest from the windows is dark. This creates a strong contract between the bright part near the windows. The lack of homogeneity in the natural lighting is quite unpleasant.
In a long flat, it accentuates the perception of depth and gives a cave effect that is hardly compatible with the image of modern comfort.
The Light Reflector provides natural depth of light
To avoid the caveman feeling of glass, how do you harmonise the natural light in a long flat?
The Espaciel reflector allows you to harmonise the presence of natural light in the room. Placed in front of an opening, it transmits the light from the sky deep into the room by mirror effect.
