I did this between the bathroom and the landing because we had the same problem.
Eight glass bricks from Wickes mounted in a simple wooden frame, and it works
nicely.


I did that in my bathroom by fitting a non-opening frosted light
(ie, sheet of frosted glass 1/4-rounded into a frame). It might
look nicer than glass bricks if you make it the same width as
the door with appropriate architraving and trim, etc.

There are other options fwiw
1. fit glazed doors with acid etched glass - you can see zero through
them.
2. False window using fluorescent tubes


3. Light Pipe


4. Drink tea.


5. Press small white switch on the wall and marvel at the wonders of
electrickery.
