Shadow gap, also known as a shadow line or reveal, refers to a deliberate architectural or design feature where a gap or recess is intentionally created between two surfaces. It is most commonly seen in interior design, particularly in areas where two different materials or finishes meet, such as the junction between walls and ceilings, walls and floors, or walls and cabinetry.  The shadow gap creates a visible line or recess between the two surfaces, producing a distinct shadow effect. It can be achieved by leaving a deliberate gap during construction or by adding a decorative molding or trim to create the desired effect. Decorative moldings between floor and walls named skirting. If this skirting is installed inside the wall and invisible from outside it’s named hidden skirting Importa. The width of the shadow gap can vary depending on the design intent, ranging from a narrow, subtle line to a more pronounced recess. And the shadow gap between walls and ceiling can give opportunity to Hyde connection of different surfaces and even install additional lighting.

The purpose of a shadow gap Importa can be both aesthetic and functional. From an aesthetic standpoint, it adds visual interest, depth, and a sense of sophistication to the design. It can also create a modern and minimalist look by eliminating the need for traditional baseboards or crown moldings. Functionally, the shadow gap allows for the natural expansion and contraction of different materials due to temperature and humidity changes without causing visible cracks or damage.
