You may not realize it but lighting is an art. It is an important point inside your bathroom space. Like everybody else, you may have paid too much attention in the selection of your faucet, shower head, sink and a lot of fixtures that goes into this space to help you shower and bathe. In the process, you may have thoroughly skipped putting in an elaborate bathroom lighting scheme. And then you are left to wonder why your bathroom doesn't give you the vibe that you are searching for.
Designing a bathroom lighting that features both function and stylish aesthetics can be a rewarding task for homeowners. With properly-placed lights, walking in to the bathroom gives a whole new experience. It is like being transported to that fanciful hotel suite you have stepped into or something that you could have just seen in the glossy pages of the magazine.
Even if you are not an interior decorator, you can do this by yourself. You just have to apply the same principle that professionals do when trying to illuminate any space. This is with the application of complete ambient, task and accent lighting into the room.
This basic principle means that you shouldn't just stick to a solitary light. It means providing multiple bright sources that would render the necessary general lighting to the whole room, to the specific areas where work is done and to the various decorative elements that can be found in the room.
The most common fixture that can be seen inside the bathroom is a recessed light. You can use this light above areas where common tasks also take place like the shower and the toilet sections. Another thing that should be a staple if you have a vanity mirror inside is a set of wall sconces that can be placed on both its sides. To highlight the decorations and the supplies inside the cabinets, track and under-cabinet lights should be incorporated. Lastly, you should also see to it that decorative light fixtures should also be introduced like chandeliers, pendants and beautiful ceiling lights to add a touch of class and sophistication.
