We've all seen those photos on Instagram with people showing their ever so aspiration window views. From the down right impressive and beautiful to the homely and comforting, we'd all like one for ourselves. So while we're building our fortune-filled luxury lifestyles, TikTok has the answer: fake it till you make it.
A trend for #fakewindowchallenge has started which shows you how to create a set up that allows you to create a fake window on any blank wall and then change up the view it offers as and when you please.
We'll be going for a beach view first for obvious reasons. Think palm trees and strong rays of sun.
Interest peaked? Well here's how you can do it.
The hashtag already has 129.2M views with many recreating the hack at home.
All you need is a blank wall and a projector - then you're good to go.
First ensure you've got a clean canvas, so remove any photos or plants on your wall that will ruin the illusion the projection creates.
Then set up and angle your projector so that it lines up well with your wall and surroundings. One popular area TikTokers are placing their projections is by their beds, so it appears as though there's a large view you can overlook while laying back.
Now you're ready to go - simply select and screen any window image you like.
Take inspiration from those switching up their fake views for a sense of escapism, which is something we could all do with right now.
Maybe it's a view that makes you think of being on holiday, or even a snowy backdrop with a warming fire in view (because tbh where is the spring weather we hoped for?) - once set up, the world is your oyster.
