But the house facing north is cold and damp, and it is not completely unrecoverable. If your room just faces north, don't worry, it can be adjusted by decoration.
The common problem in rooms facing north is insufficient light, so it is suggested to choose light color when painting.
Light-colored walls can reflect more light and make the room brighter and more open. Dark colors will absorb light and make the room darker.
In addition, it is not recommended to stick wallpaper in the room facing north, because the glossy wall can reflect more light. On the contrary, rough or uneven walls will be much worse.
At the same time, some bright decorations can be used to enliven the space and enhance the atmosphere in some soft parts of the home.
The arrangement of light and bright colors can not only make the room brighter visually, but also make the room "warm up" sensually.
Of course, large-scale light-colored painting is not the only solution. Purkinje effect shows that human eyes will migrate to the blue end of the spectrum in low brightness environment.
This means that in a north-facing environment, you can call the room blue, which will make the space brighter.
The room facing north has less sunshine, mostly indirect light, so the temperature will be lower than other rooms facing north. It's ok in summer, and it will show a cool effect. In spring, autumn and winter, it will become extremely cold.
For the cold problem, we can actually solve it through air conditioning, heating and other heating equipment, but the visual coldness brought by space illumination can only be improved by some soft clothes.
For rooms facing north, it is recommended to install mirrors to improve the brightness of the room; Use light-colored carpets, flannel sofa seats and other furniture; In terms of decoration, we can enhance the vitality of the space by arranging incense sticks, adding colorful watercolors and green plants.
In addition, the cold feeling of space can also be improved in smell. Use sweet orange, cinnamon and other fragrances at home to enhance the warm atmosphere of the space as a whole.
A large part of the problem with rooms facing north lies in lighting. There is no doubt that in the same environment, the room facing north has much less lighting than the room facing south.
But at least it can't be done without it. There is less light, you can try to increase it!
In the decoration, the way to deal with the north-facing room is to increase the window area. With the increase of window area, more light will enter, which can make up for the lack of light in the north-facing room to some extent.
However, considering the bearing capacity of the building structure, it is impossible to expand the windows indefinitely, so we should also pay attention to the selection of window types, and try to choose windows with large windows and few frames.
In the case of insufficient natural light sources, artificial light sources can be introduced in addition to increasing the window area.
In fact, artificial light sources refer to products such as electric lights. As a supplement to natural light source, it can illuminate indoor space well and make people feel like sunshine.
In the choice of artificial light source, it is suggested not to use cold light, and choose warm yellow light. The reason is that warm yellow lights can create a warm atmosphere, which is what the north-facing room lacks.
In addition, compared with the main lighting, the room facing north needs even and scattered lighting to simulate the sun, so the main lighting scheme is recommended.
Everything has two sides. Compared with other rooms facing north, the room facing north is really not bright enough, but at the same time, the room facing north will be quieter.
The previous methods are all about how to adjust the room to make it brighter and warmer. But on the other hand, why can't we go to embrace the darkness?
Embrace the darkness is characterized by darkness instead of compromising the mainstream decoration scheme. Create a unique style in the room. For example, the wild industrial wind or the cold and mysterious dark wind are all good choices.
