Lots of lighting will help a bathroom feel airy.
Because windowless bathrooms have no natural light source, they can seem small and dark. Decorating a windowless bathroom involves making it as light and airy as possible to combat any feelings of being cramped into a small space. When you finish decorating, you should have a relaxed bathroom that does not feel dim or tiny. The process will involve a careful color selection, as well as the addition of fixtures and other accessories.
Instructions
1. Remove outdated and metal light fixtures. Replace them with soft white light fixtures and compact , which have a softer glow.
2. Paint the walls and ceilings a light, neutral color such as off-white or light gray. You can also use shades of light pastels or wallpaper with vertical texturing to give the illusion of height in the room. Select floor tile that is neutral and light, or cover existing tile with a light-colored throw rug.
3. Replace old, rusted or plastic bathroom fixtures with reflective chrome or brushed nickel fixtures. They will reflect light in the room, adding to the airy feeling.
4. Hang a large painting or photo of an outdoor scene to give the illusion of a window. Select a frame that resembles a window frame. Hang the photo on an opposite wall from the shower, or hang it behind glass.
5. Install accessories that match the light color scheme. Replace the shower curtain with a light-colored one or one that has a light-colored, small print. Use white fluffy towels and reflective towel holders.
6. Install a dehumidifier in the bathroom to help combat moisture. Windowless bathrooms should also have an up-to-date ventilation system.
