Before we begin, we know that not every bathroom in this article is windowless, so try to use your imagination and think about how the design nuances that we are discussing WOULD work in a genuinely windowless space! Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's get down to brass tacks!

Windowless bathroom scan feel a little dark and claustrophobic, neither of which is an ideal situation, which is why so many bathroom designers have been attempting to come up with new and exciting ways to inject light and airiness. We think we've honed in on eight brilliant ideas and are going to share them with you, right now, so let's get started!

1. Go white and bright.

The less natural light you have in your bathroom, the more you need to make good use of light colours, which is why bright white walls, ceilings, floors and even suite items, are critical. You could also stand to add a ceiling vent, to help with ventilation, if you don't have any windows to crack open now and then.

2. Get your lighting perfect.

When natural light is non-existent, you have to go down the artificial route, but getting things right is key! There's no use in simply going hell for leather with dazzling main lighting, as the little niches and corners need tackling as well, which is why wall lights are a great idea. We suggest daylight imitation bulbs and dimmer switches too, for more control.

3. Try bright wallpaper.

Nothing distracts from a lack of natural light in a bathroom quite like a feature wall covered in zingy wallpaper! If you're wondering about hanging paper in a moisture-filled space, don't worry, as there are so many bathroom-specific wallpaper options to choose from now that you won't have an issue. 

4. A pop of colour will help.

If you really can't be convinced about wallpaper, how about a bright colour on the walls, finished with some complementary decals on your tiled areas? If white walls don't excite you enough, you might like to consider a sunshine yellow, to emulate the warmth of natural light!

5. How about funky graphics?

This is an idea that we can really get behind for a kid's bathroom and talk about the best way to encourage little ones to get their teeth cleaned! Seriously, who is going to bemoan a lack of windows, when batman is their bathroom buddy? We know we wouldn't!

6. Mirrors are critical.

Regardless of whether your bathroom light source is natural or artificial, a great way to make sure that it reaches everywhere is to hang a number of mirrors. Glass shower screens will help a lot as well, as all your illumination will bounce around, helping to make everywhere feel super fresh.

7. Hanging lights create great ambience.

If you love contemporary styling, we think you'll be really taken by the idea of pendulum lights, mounted in a corner in your windowless bathroom. Essentially, you can really make a feature out of the darker and cosier look of your space and we know that we wouldn't be shy about a softly lit soak now and then!

8. Put Mother Nature to work!

Finally, if you can't enjoy sunlight in your bathroom, you should still be able to have SOMETHING natural in there, which is why we are fully supporting the idea of a living wall! Choose your foliage well and it will help to ventilate the room and deal with moisture, while also looking great. How's that for a bonus?
