Renovating a Space Without Natural Light
If you’re trying to renovate a space without natural light it can seem like a bit of a zero-sum-game, but fear not there are a few tricks to make it more inviting. Any Londoner knows how bathrooms, bedrooms and even kitchens can be stuffed somewhere in a home where the sun doesn’t shine. One common place we see without much natural light are bathrooms. Renovating a bathroom without natural light may seem like a daunting challenge, but with the right design tips and a skilled contractor, it can be transformed into an inviting, pleasant space.

Choose Bright Colours
Consider Artificial Lighting
Use space-efficient design
Add plants and artwork
1. Choose bright colours
To brighten up a dark bathroom, it's essential to pick a colour scheme that maximises the available light. While some choose neutral tones such as whites and greys, bolder shades like warm greens and peach can make a big difference.
2. Consider artificial lighting
When working with limited natural light, harnessing the power of artificial lighting can be a game-changer. You could opt for brighter light bulbs with tones that mimic a sunny day, or install additional light fixtures like wall sconces, recessed lighting, or fancy chandeliers. Task lighting can also make a difference, especially around the vanity mirror.
3. Use space-efficient design
Sleek, modern details can keep the room from feeling claustrophobic. Try using clean, minimal lines to open up the room and allow some fresh air to circulate. Meanwhile, choosing vanities with ample storage can keep things neat and tidy, which is essential in a room without a lot of natural light.

4. Add plants and artwork
Finally, adding a few personal touches can help bring some life and personality to a dingy bathroom. Plants, especially those that do well in low-light environments, can add beauty in addition to improving air quality. Similarly, strategically-placed art pieces can add a splash of colour and fun, making the space truly your own. You don't need natural light to have a lively and captivating bathroom.
Beams knows a thing or two about small bathrooms
At Beams we love a small bathroom, and chances are, if you’re a Londoner, you’ll have a bathroom stuffed somewhere in the corner of your apartment or home, often without any natural light. In some cases bedrooms or even kitchens will be found in the bowels of a home, at basement level or hidden up in a loft. Either way we can help bring the most out of these sometimes unloved spaces, so that they’re somewhere you want to be, always.
