For the most part, you will hope that your bathroom comes with windows included, letting in as much natural light as possible. Of course, if your bathroom is an original feature of your home, then there is a good chance that this will be the case, but if you have added your bathroom at a later date, perhaps as a part of an extension, then this could mean that it doesn't have windows as it usually would.
The worry, when this happens, is that your bathroom will feel dull and dark, and of course, you can leave a light on as much as you can, but what if you want to find other ways to brighten it up?
With this in mind, we have put together some of our top tips on making a bathroom brighter even if you don't have any windows.
Want to lighten up a bathroom? If you do, then you are going to need to have good quality bathroom lights installed. Bright overhead lights are a must when it comes to making sure that your bathroom is as light as possible.
You should also choose bulbs that are as natural in colour as possible; those closer to yellow will often make your space feel smaller.
One of the best things you can do to brighten up even the dullest of bathroom spaces is to make sure you choose a bright colour palette. Light colours will make the room look more delicate and make sure that it feels as large and airy.
It is best to stick with whites, neutral shades, and some of the pale pastel colours.
Keeping your bathroom clutter-free and neat is one of the best ways to make sure it looks open and spacious. The more clutter you have, the more enclosed your bathroom will feel, which will make it feel dark and cramped, which is the opposite of what you are going to want. Introducing some bathroom storage will go along way in achieving what you want.
The fittings that you choose can also have an impact on how small your bathroom feels. You want to make sure that you choose glass and transparent fittings as these will allow the light to flow through them rather than blocking it off and make the entire space feel more open.
Glass shower screens are a great example of this, especially when you compare this to shower curtains and how they can close off your bathroom.
These are just some of the ways that you can make sure that your bathroom feels open and light, even without a window. So, what are you waiting for? Try these out for yourself and see if they have the impact that you hope for!
