When you're remodeling your bathroom, one of the important questions you should be asking yourself is how to get more light in. Lighting is commonly the forgotten factor when bathrooms are being designed. However, it quickly becomes noticeable once you've been using the bathroom for some time.
Artificial lighting tends to have a certain quality to it that just doesn't feel right for many people. Additionally, it also means that you'll be using more energy than you actually have to in your home. Therefore, when you remodel, there are several ways that you can let in more light.
Put in a Larger Window
Depending on how much work you're doing, one simple way of letting in more light into your bathroom is to put in a larger window. Many home designs come with bathroom windows that are only big enough to provide adequate ventilation. However, for a window to let in more light, you'll probably need something larger. If you're worried about privacy, there are different translucent glass options that can offer enough privacy.
Install a Skylight
If your bathroom doesn't have a window or in case you don't want to make it bigger, you can go with a skylight instead. As the name suggests, skylights are designed with the purpose of letting in more natural light into any room. However, in a bathroom, a skylight does more than just let in light. It helps to create a more luxurious ambience and makes the bathroom feel more expensive.
Relocate Your Windows
Quite often, the problem with windows in bathrooms is not their size but the direction that they are facing. If your windows aren't properly positioned to catch the light from the sun, it won't make much difference if you make it larger. However, a small window that's ideally positioned to capture sunlight can brighten up your bathroom significantly.
Change Your Shower Door
Another problem that is commonly observed is that the bathroom itself may have adequate amounts of light; however, specific areas of the bathroom may not be benefitting from this light. Because the shower is almost like a room within another room, it is often affected by this problem.
Luckily, there is a simple way of getting around this: glass shower enclosures. Glass doors for your shower will ensure that the light from the rest of the bathroom also finds its way to the shower. This is a solution that's simple but quite effective.
