Bathroom lighting is one of the most important types of lighting to get right in your home. However, if you are unfamiliar with the principles of lighting design, the entire task can feel a bit overwhelming. Whether it’s picking out and placing fixtures or filling in lighting gaps, it always helps to have expert guidance.
When properly lit, your bathroom can be a fully functional bastion of relaxation. So whether you’re getting ready to start your day, or winding down with a nice, relaxing bath, this post will help you get the most of your bathroom lighting.
Bathroom Ambient & Task Lighting
Layering your lighting is one of the most important things you can do in any lighting strategy. When it comes to bathroom lighting, designers recommend focusing on your ceiling lighting first. Ceiling lights provide general illumination for the entire bathroom, but alone they are usually insufficient to take care of all your lighting needs.
After you’ve figured out how to place your ceiling lights, then you can add task lighting fixtures like undercabinet lighting or vanity lights. This will ensure that light is evenly distributed. You can even purchase accent lighting fixtures which can highlight decor or other architectural features.
One thing to always keep in mind is that you’ll need to buy wet or damp-rated fixtures in areas where your lighting could be exposed to moisture.
Getting The Right Vanity Lighting
Besides the kitchen, there’s no room in your home more oriented around getting tasks done quickly and efficiently than your bathroom. That makes vanity lighting one of the most important aspects of your bathroom lighting strategy to get down just right.
While ceiling lights can provide a basic amount of lights, they can also create shadows and lines on your face when performing tasks at the sink, such as shaving or putting on makeup. We recommend placing two sconces on the side of your bathroom mirror, or placing a multi light wall fixture above the mirror to provide sufficient illumination.
