Bathroom lighting is more important
than home owners think, they don't think to invest
resources and implement modern design ideas for
this interior space. Most home owners tend to
save it for the living room or kitchen. Most
baths have inadequate lighting at the mirror.
But as this space increasingly becomes a place
to relax and recharge, complete with steam shower
and spa tub, bathroom lighting requires extra
thought. And when it’s done
right, the payoff is great. After all, this is
the room where you start and end your day. The
job of these light sources is to provide shadow-free
interior light for ease of personal grooming,
first and foremost. This is best done with fixtures
around the mirror rather than down lights, which
produce shadows.
A good contemporary bathroom lighting plan is
a series of layers — placing ample brightness
where it is needed for showers, shaving, or putting
on makeup, for instance, while other sources enhance
the overall mood of the interior design space.
- Vanity lighting - This light source gets top
consideration because these fixtures work the
hardest to illuminate the head and face for
grooming. The most common mistake people make
is putting recessed ceiling fixtures directly
over the mirror. These cast shadows on the face,
making daily grooming rituals more difficult.
- Ceiling lighting - Fixtures mounted above
serve as a substitute for a natural glow. It
is most often supplied by a central fixture,
usually a surface-mounted ceiling light. A pendant
lamp or chandelier works beautifully. Another
option is recessed halogen pot lighting —
which adds a soft accent and ambient glow around
the perimeter of the room.
- Wall lighting - Vertical fixtures or sconces
mounted on either side of the mirror are best
for casting an even light across the face.
Bathroom lighting when used appropriately can add
a modern look to your home's interior design decor.
