As the dark winter mornings begin, your bathroom might start to feel dark and dull as well. But, there are some practical and clever ways for you to let the light in. Depending on your bathroom, you might be able to brighten your space without splashing a lot of cash.
Check out these easy ways to make your bathroom feel brighter in winter:
1. Put mirrors close to light sources
When you add a mirror to your bathroom, it will reflect light around the space and add instant brightness to it. Reposition it opposite the primary source of your bathroom, which could be a light fitting or a window. Your mirror will not only amplify lighting but also expand the visual space within your bathroom. If you want to get the best results, you should opt for soft lighting so that it’s not too bright when it reflects off the mirror. Another option is switching to an illuminated mirror which will provide additional lighting along with a stylish edge.
2. Paint the ceiling white
If you have a dark ceiling, your bathroom will feel small and cramped. By painting it white, you can brighten your bathroom space instantly. If you want to bring more life into your bathroom, add white paint to the bathroom walls as well. Neutral toned colours can expand the feel of your bathroom and brighten it.
3. Use candles
You can provide the extra lightning and create a calming and tranquil space with candles. It can be the source of instant warmth and character to your dark bathroom. Fill a glass jar with fairy lights to bring some spark to your bathroom. You can also hang the lighting on the mirror.
4. Add some colour
Once you have painted your bathroom white and brightened up it, you can add life to your bathroom with some colour. Introduce contrasting colours to make the area pop. You can go for patterned wall art and statement colour and accessories that will brighten up your bathroom without overwhelming it.
5. Update the fittings and fixtures
If you feel like your bathroom needs an upgrade, you can replace the dated fittings and fixtures and add instant life to your dark bathroom space. Simple copper or chrome fittings will be enough to enhance the sense of space and light in your bathroom.
6. Get plants
Buy some shade-loving plants for your bathroom as they don’t need a ton of light and can survive even in darker conditions. To ensure that the green hues of your plan stand out, use a neutral or white vase.
These were some simple and clever tricks to make your bathroom feel brighter in the winter. The bathroom is the place where you start your morning routine. With the suitable space, you can have a good morning and a wonderful day ahead.
