Wow! Those are cool. Never heard of those before. Not in the budget right now for the bathroom but perhaps down the road that will be a perfect solution. But this may also be a major solution for the living room. It's really nice, very open and has a sliding glass door looking out onto a back window porch with green backyard with two oak trees. But the inside just doesn't get much light because of the direction the house faces. I was thinking of installing skylights at some point but it looks like this might be more affordable and would really bring in some light. See? It never hurts to ask on these boards because you just don't know what you don't know.

We live in Central Florida with brutally heavy rain in the summer. What is the chance of leaking and condensation with those? Also, do they make "shades" for them or ways to temper out the light - say if it was near a TV and you wanted to filter out the glare temporarily?

You could do a digital picture frame and load it with your favorite scenes. Right now might be a good time to look, they were kind of a popular holiday gift idea a few years ago

Yes, an arrangement of them might work

Keeping shower curtain pulled back will let in light from little window.

get battery operated candles from craft store and arrange a cluster of them

I really like your shower curtain. Perhaps you could move your shower rack containing shampoos, etc to the opposite wall. I did that in my shower using a command type adhesive backed hook on the shower wall opposite the shower head, No more water on the rack and it would be less clutter to look at. Less clutter, more Zen.

I'd suggest getting rid of the elements where possible..for example you have both a shelf and a towel rack-there are many shelves that combine hooks or bars for towels or even both. Go for wood/bamboo in these.

Check Etsy for shelves like these, both vintage and handmade..or maybe you're handy enough to DIY.

I wouldn't move the shower rack to the opposite wall even though it makes sense-it requires for you to turn when showering..a little thing but once I sprained my back like that:)

Think whether you wouldn't want to borrow a deeper color for your walls, from your curtain, say, a shade of green. Darker colors generally do great in small light-less spaces,enveloping them and giving them the liveliness. Light colors reflect light=no light and they have less to reflect, so mid tone colors in spaces like bathrooms and bedrooms with not a lot of light can work very well-they hold their own, so to say.

Definitely bring a plant. I don't know what plant would be considered Zen...they're all pretty Zen to me. Just find out what works in darker damper spaces. I know ferns, maybe stag horns, some kinds of orchids..Justina Blakeney's blog has Plant-o-pedia, where you can read about dozens of plants and a care for them. But I'm sure the internet is full of suggestions.

After that, I'd consider a rug that reminds me of nature. If you craving something happier-then maybe pattern of leaves etc. If something calmer-wooden mat, teak or maybe bamboo one, would be great.

There are all sorts of rugs like seagrass that always look cool, calming, and nicely textured, but I don't know about them enough to recommend them-maybe they withstand the moisture not that great. I hope other posters will chime in with more experience in different rug qualities.

When I shower I like to face away from the shower head when applying soap or shampoo, then I turn to the shower spray to rinse off.

Thanks everyone. On the other side of the window is a shed, so there is no light that comes from that. Regarding the shower, I usually keep the curtain closed as I don't want anyone to see that cheap tub. Oh and yeah it's a pretty shower curtain - prettier than the picture actually because it has a shimmery sheen to it that . It's Better Homes and Gardens brand.

Love all these suggestions. And bamboo mat or similar would look very cool - definitely in keeping with the look.

I'd definitely love to change out that shelf and get rid of the towel rack. And the idea of putting towels above the toilet - ew.

That's a really cool blog, thanks for the tip.

And for plants, maybe a calming zennish kind of plant grass, or a bamboo.

As to the pictures, whether a digital frame or regular frame with picture light, I'm thinking maybe an arrangement of three? Nature photos? What do you all think?

Something similar to this:

I had mentioned earlier about a solar tube. I mentioned it because I thought you didn't have a window in the room. Now that I re-read the remarks I see that there is a window. I wouldn't bother with a solar tube if you have light already :)

The window is, unfortunately, useless - it only goes into a dark shed. =(
