Lighting Solutions for the Bathroom
In the bathroom, you need plenty of even, shadow-free lighting for shaving, grooming, and applying makeup. In small bathrooms, mirror lights will illuminate the entire room; but in larger bathrooms, an additional ceiling fixture is needed for general lighting. A recessed infrared heat lamp will give you added warmth on chilly mornings. Tub and shower enclosures can be lighted adequately by placing an enclosed damp-location recessed light in the ceiling.
Here are some helpful lighting ideas and tips for the bathroom:
Light bars loaded with clear globes add sparkle and brilliance in a very traditional way. Sconce type vanity lights have a more modern look and add style and beauty for the task at hand.
Incandescent down lights loaded with halogen lamps add a more dramatic layer of brilliant white light, but typically require more than one fixture to avoid shadows.
Track Lights are a great way to accent focal points adding depth and dimension to an environment.
Domes, mushrooms, pendants and drums offer terrific general lighting for bathrooms and closets too. Ceiling fixtures are available in energy saving fluorescent and incandescent styles.
Table lamps add a soft, human touch to bathrooms. Display them away from water sources atop tables, vanity or islands found in larger bathrooms.
Create a nightlight by illuminating the floor in the toe-space below vanities and cabinets with a linear lighting system.
Adding wall sconces to your bathroom provides personal lighting where you need it.
A large surface mounted fluorescent provides bright even illumination. Today's excellent color rendering and full spectrum fluorescents make this energy efficient alternative very attractive.
A bathroom with lighting to your taste is a bathroom that you will truly enjoy and appreciate. Also, remember that awesome bathroom lighting does not always have to break the bank.
