Bathroom lighting is mostly overlooked and never given the full attention. As in most cases, bathrooms are often designated a solitary light in the ceiling. This shouldn't be the case. Though your bathroom may only be in full use at nighttime before you sleep or in the mornings before you head out for work, the time you spent in there is very valuable and of high importance.
Bathing and grooming often only take a few minutes but they are pretty essential to make you look fresh and feeling good about yourself. With solitary light in the ceiling, lighting is poor in big bathrooms and can throw dark shadows in the corners. In smaller ones, on the other hand, the ceiling light can get so intense and can cause harsh glare into the eyes.
It is important to provide proper bathroom lighting for you to enjoy the comfort and luxury that this room brings. It doesn't take a lot to install proper lights into this area. All you have to do is figure out the important activities you carry out in here and assign a few sets of lights into them.
The shower, sink and toilet area should have task lighting that is afforded by recessed lights. The bathroom mirror where most make-up applications or shaving is done should have wall sconces on either side of it. This will provide full illumination to the face and will guarantee no dark circles under the eyes as when you use overhead lights on this space.
If you have a bathtub or a luxurious Jacuzzi in your bathroom, you should invest in fabulous lights like mini-chandeliers or pendant lights to bring a touch of glamour into the area. It becomes highly luxurious to view beautiful lights up in the ceiling while you are enjoying a soak in the tub. Just don't forget to include a set of dimmers attached to them so you can set the lights to a dim to avoid unnecessary glare.
