apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

There's the answer to a question nobody asked...

As somebody that was delegated to a gloomy basement bedroom as a teen, I would have loved something like this!

No. Creepy, and blinds are ugly to begin with. Nope.

I've seen sort of solution before and I can't stand it! It's got to be on my list of top 10 useless ideas.

You could pretend you have the corner office with the window, if you had six of these babies on two adjacent walls.

The effect would be disorienting to office visitors.

It would have been a good solution for Agent Mulder.

Hmm, if you're going for a whimsical solution to your lack of window, why not really make it whimsical? I'd maybe take one of those backlit fake waterwall paintings and put curtains on the sides, or something. This is too sleek.

If by "neat" you mean strange and sad, then yes, neat.

i work in a gloomy cubicle filled basement....at the lowest part of my office building. we always joke all the time about putting up a picture of a window on one of the walls

Now all you need is a sound machine with tweeting birds, and voila! You still have an apartment with no windows.

Maybe this would be more appealing if it didn't look like the "window" was pouring out light from a nuclear blast.

I once looked at an apartment that had.. I think no windows. The door opened directly to the ground level parking lot. The living room had one wall painted cinder blocks, one wall wood paneling, then horse-shoed around the kitchenette and the bathroom in back, and then back to a bedroom parallel to where we walked in. I could see using these there. It was like a trailer with no park, that apartment.

This idea depressed me the last time it was posted, and it continues to depress me now.

As a conceptual piece I "get it", but as something you'd actually consider putting in a house or (ugh) a cubicle it is just an atrocity. I mean, mini blinds with glaring white light behind them? Really?

I'm just curious - why does most everyone here dislike window blinds so much?

Hey, when you work 8 hrs each day in an office with no windows at all, something like this starts to look good.

My cubemate agrees we must get this. We already have table lamps in here, we need something more outside-y. It's a CAVE.

I think with the right decorations around it... it could work, but knowing me I'd get excited and forget it was fake... rip it open wanting to escape the office... and be pissed. I hope I never find myself working in a basement or cold cubical... but if you do and you like these, get them!
