Faux Window with your favourite view.

Faux Window with your favourite view. This video is about how I made a faux window. It's a picture frame with a twist. It would be great if you were living in an apartment with no view, or on a large wall in your home. It's a great way to remember a favourite place that you have visited, or as inspiration for a place you have always wanted to go. The added feature of being able to open and close the window shutters adds to the illusion that the view is right outside. Be sure to comment to let me know what you think or what you would change if you were doing it. Thanks.
PS As you can probably tell the pics are Photo shopped in at the end of the video and in the thumbnail.

Now just combine this with natural-looking artificial led light and you have a window of the future

[@onehundredpercent_ke]

Not my damn future!!!! I need some real sunlight!! Now when they lock your but up inside, replace everything, and the whole world is artificial, you're going to think twice.😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great plan and beautiful video! If only it took just 7 minutes in real life 😅🙃 I am going to use your idea but flip the proportions (“ Portrait” to “landscape”) and put a spare TV in there. There are “window loops” on KZbin or you could even put a small CCTV camera to the actual outside. Thanks so much for the idea!!

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Great ideas!!

[@traceywheeler9171]

Oh to have the tools, and the skills....

[@EamonWalshDIY]

One tool at a time and lots of practice 😉

[@sriharshacv7760]

I am thinking of a commercial fake window that illuminates with the help of a programmable led screen (basically the same tech as current generation TVs). These days there are so many houses / apartment without windows and this kind of set up will help people with their claustrophobia. (I am not claustrophobic but would certainly appreciate a beautiful window view).

[@tripletvn]

I have a bedroom that is very asymmetrical in the sense that there are two windows on the far sides of the two adjacent walls, so however I put my bed, I feel like a window is missing on the other side of the bed (there is a roof outside for an actual window. I want to have a faux window there and it has to be identical to the ones I already have, so, I can’t follow this tutorial, plus I do not own those fancy tools anyway. But it is such a beautiful work, and very inspirational, too. (American windows open by sliding up and down, funny right?)
