subject: How to Improve Bathroom Lighting [print this page] Did you ever paid attention to your bathroom lighting when taking a bath or some other time? A lot of individuals do not consider bathroom lighting and do not bother to think about it. However, I really feel that this is one area where an individual home owner can be slightly creative and can spice up his bathroom and add some real value for his house.
You can improve Bathroom lighting at some of the basic places in the bathroom. First and foremost, bathroom mirror or the place where your bathroom mirror is fixed has the most potential for some fancy and creative lighting. There are several schemes of bathroom lighting available that you can select from for your mirror. You can also go for most common form of bathroom lighting for the mirror that primarily comes from disco bar that hangs over the top of your mirror, with probably 3 - 6 bulbs across its face.
The next place where in you can improve your bathroom lighting is the commode/shower area. Normally this area has a single light bulb or tube light in the ceiling adjacent to the tiny little fan. Also, since it is for the dual area, you normally would have a fairly strong bulb for this. I would suggest that instead of utilizing one big and huge bulb or light, why don't you break the lighting to both the parts? This will also save some electricity as 2 40 watt bulbs will consume less electricity than 1 100 watt bulb. If you do this you can also be called a green home owner as you even control 2 separate bulbs with 2 separate switches. This will really help in saving some good money on electricity.
However, the above mentioned points are just suggestions, you can actually add much more to your bathroom lighting. You may not realize it initially; however this is definitely bound to have a positive impact on you. The important point to remember while upgrading or improving your bathroom lighting is to do brain storming. You should look at some web sites, some catalogs, or even visit a Home Depot or any other store to check out the latest fixtures that are available and suitable for your bathroom lighting.
