Is your bathroom feeling dark and dingy? If you’re thinking about tackling a bathroom remodeling project to bring some new life and energy into the space, you might want to try refreshing the bathroom with more adequate lighting.
Privacy is a priority, so bathrooms are often lacking in natural light. However, you don’t need to feel like you’re doomed to a dark bathroom, forever struggling to check your reflection and squinting in the dimness. Bathroom remodeling can help you transform your space into a well-lit and welcoming oasis.
Natural and Artificial Light
Bathroom remodeling can help you bring more natural light into your space, even while maintaining your privacy. Frosted windows and skylights can both bring fresh sunlight into your space. On the other hand, if you don’t want to spend time remodeling with windows, adding additional interior lighting should be the next step of your bathroom remodeling project. Adding task lights around your mirror can get rid of shadows and help you ensure that your look is flawless before you head out for the day.
Brightening Beyond Lights
If you already have plenty of light sources, there are a few other bathroom remodeling tricks you can use to enhance the light you already have.
- Organization: Is the bathtub or shower curtain blocking natural light from entering your bathroom? Often, changing the arrangement of elements in your bathroom can create a brighter, more open atmosphere.
- Mirrors: If you can’t add light, you can always reflect it. Think about the position of your mirror and consider adding more reflective hardware to brighten up the room.
- Colors: Lighter colors will also make your bathroom feel brighter. White, pastel tones, and pops of stronger colors will bring more light to your space than forest greens, black, and other dark shades.
