Once the film is loaded in the tank (I used a changing bag for this) the entire process happens in the light; you can use the kitchen or bathroom. If you want to make prints, I used my bedroom when I was a kid (at night with the windows covered). When I was first married, I would use the bathroom to print (very understanding wife with good bladder control). It is much nicer to work in my darkroom, but it is not necessary.
