8 years ago the spring weather was different. It drizzled almost every day. It was cloudy. Now we have these clear sunny days, big winds and scant rain.

    A shower needs a window. A bathroom needs a window. It’s proper, natural and practical. A window provides necessary ventilation and cleansing light (uv). A bathroom without a window is a broken bathroom.

    That said, bathrooms without windows are pathologically common.

    I feel strongly about this.

      I take it your bathroom window isn’t facing a public road?

      I feel strongly about not having to lock eyes with the kids going to school, or anyone for that matter, when I’m in the nip.

        Get a $5 sheet of diffusor panel sticker. All the light with none of the image. Ez to apply.

        And then crack the window 2" for air

          I agree with you, but just to propose a (possibly easier) alternative, it’s also possible to buy spray on window frosting. I’m not sure how the price compares, but I found it far easier to apply.

          That said, the stickers can have nice colors and patterns. AFAIK the frosting cannot.

          This is the solution I went for. Still, I reckon I’d be just as fine in a windowless bathroom. Not a place I hang around more than I have to.

            My bathroom has no window, and sometimes I shower in the dark with a tiny little nightlight on. It takes the visual distraction out and lets me seep even deeper into flow state. I prefer my bathroom this way. However a window for ventilation would be nice. But I just run the fan for an extra 15-20 minutes after I shower and it’s been fine.
