Everybody in a cubicle lusts for a window. Everybody with an apartment overlooking an airshaft or parking lot wishes they didn't have a window, but they do still want the light. The answer to both solutions is [blinds that light up](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natural-light-optimization) to make any wall look as if the [sun is shining in](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bauhaus-sunset-lamp). Adjust the blinds to adjust the light coming through the "window."

**Implications** - Many workers spend a large majority of the day sitting at a desk and never get a chance to enjoy the rays of the sun. This fake window demonstrates how consumers are looking for methods of release after a busy day at the office. Infusing products with an environmental feel can give consumers a [sense of enjoying the outdoors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biophilic-lighting), while resting peacefully in the comfort of their home.
