How To Choose the Right Bathroom Lighting

Submitted by Wanda on March 21, 2009 – 2:16 amNo Comment

Good bathroom lighting is an essential part of your bathroom design. The right choice of lighting will add ambience and elegance to your bathroom, but keep in mind that the lighting also needs to be functional.

Lighting for bathrooms comes in a variety of styles and finishes, to suit any design. There are bulb lights, sconces, down lights, recessed lights, pendant lights, strip bath lights, shower recess lights, fluorescent lights, and of course lights with exhaust fans. Light shades suitable for bathrooms, are either plain or lightly patterned, with frosted or etched glass shades.

When considering your bathroom lighting, be mindful of where you place the lights. This is especially so over bathroom vanities. Ensure that lights around your mirror are functional and stylish and don’t cast shadows on your vanity mirror so that you have a brightly highlighted area in which to apply your makeup or for your partner to shave. Having a dimmer switch installed in your bathroom is also a great functional feature.

Apart from having your mirror well lit, ensure that you also have adequate lighting over your medicine cabinet so you are able to clearly identify the medicinal products in the cabinet.
