You aren't fitting ANY window in that spot. You aren't showing the bath. Plenty of baths, are without windows, it isn't a death sentence. This is why you have electricity. Use it. Abundantly. You need it at night in any scenario. Show the BATH. Unless a master bath, and unless that bath is already "perfect' in every other way? I'd use electricity.

You have nowhere near enough information here, for any real advice beyond this : )

Show the floor plan, with this bath, and post pictures

It will be in the top of the actual tub / tiled wall area. I don’t have a photo and my kids are asleep or I’d go grab one.

I imagine it’s wishful thinking as narrow as it is.

It's a kids bath? Or your bath?? If the former? I'd hardly worry. Do the kids sleep in the bath? :) They wake from a few footsteps? Okay..................lol

Only floor plan I have handy - It would have to be centered in the room so wouldn’t be fully in the shower area, which would be fine with me. You can see the roof peak noted here as well.

It’s two 18 year olds that worked into midnight - I don’t want that wrath on my hands this early in the morning ha
Thanks for your input!

You've still not answered the question. Is this the master bath? It appears it could be. It has no shower?

Or.......it's a generous kids bath, which seems more likely.....given it HAS no shower. We crossed in posts, sorry. So it belongs to the 18 year olds...........yes?

Tip: They don't care. If it is stink? Get a really good fan. PS.if that is the case? They'd rather have a shower than a tub, but that is just a guess.

It’s a Jack-n-Jill style bath for the kids rooms. It’s a tub / shower combo, tiled walls. 9’ ceilings.

First world problem. Let it go. Take a picture in the morning. My bet is you've nowhere near enough lighting. Unless it is shared by ANOTHER bedroom? It's not the best layout. Kiddie/buddy baths are generally better in concept than in real life. Sorry, but true.

Eighteen year old kids? They won't be there forever. I wouldn't cut up the exterior of the house for them, that much is certain.

Definitely would NOT recommend Jack n Jill - in theory it was great but much prefer a hall entrance or separate baths! I think you’re right - I need to look at additional lighting to make it feel brighter. Thanks for your advice!

The big problem is the wall space doesn’t allow for a header and a window. It just isn’t physically possible.You can’t just measure the size of the window you want, you must allow for the framing and the header in addition to the exterior trim around the window.

My home had an addition added at some point by the original owner. The addition caused the main floor bathroom window to be closed up. I never cared for windowless bathrooms but, of course, knew that's what I was getting when I bought the house. In the course of remodeling, I had my contractor install a solar tube. It's not a very large bath, so there really wasn't that much room to install a skylight that opens, although I admit that would have been better. I also didn't want to spend that much. I've been very happy with the solar tube results. It really brightens up the room and wasn't expensive.

Thanks for that - we are looking into the solar tubes as well! I like the idea of an opening window though, but we have lived with this for 7 years so we will survive ha

Are YOU using the bath? Really.......: ) Kids do not care. Nobody really ever opens a bath window. Nice to have? yes. Worry on something else. Get light via a current...

18 years old + wrath = kick in the ass

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh here we go .....? hahhahahahahahaha

wrath = Well, they wouldn't be in such a bad mood if they had NATURAL LIGHT in there hahaha Thanks for the discussion this morning, I do appreciate it all!

I could see to shorter casements up there to go with the other casements on the front of the home.

They'd still be in a bad mood. They're 18.

Wrath? Try that on the partner/ boss from your dim interior cubby after you get the law degree. Shout the wrath to the corner office with wrap around view, and see how great that works out? OMG.....

Two 18 year olds… I remember how quiet my days got when mine flew the nest. I happily spent more time on me. I exercised every morning for the first time. I never realized how gone they would be. I decorated their rooms for anticipated return visits that never happened. One moved around the world and had two grandkids I've never held…stupid pandemic. The other thankfully nested nearby. Grandkids are solace.

A sky light can/tube brings in natural light. We have loved them in the interior baths we have had.

Better lighting no window easy peasy. I agree that the noise in the morning will soon be missed with 18 yr olds .

IMO there is no substitute for natural light . That is why i have skylights in two of my baths ( & both have windows ).
