Various Ideas about Bathroom Lighting

Bathroom is a place where every member of the house will spend some time with himself and therefore proper Bathroom Lighting is essential in this important location of your home. This can be accomplished successfully by selecting the correct lamps, placing them tactically, using defoggers and mirrors at the right places and in apt styles. 

Many people do not attach much importance regarding the lighting of this place when compared to their living room or the bed rooms, but this place is also equally important part of the house where proper lighting is very essential. 

Usually in most of the houses, bathrooms have very limited amount of space and hence there is very little scope of any natural lighting available over here. Therefore electric lighting source is the only means of obtaining light in this area. Looking at the need of the bathroom, the lighting in this area must be more prominent than any other place.

Different lighting ideas:


In case of small bathrooms, it is possible to obtain good lighting by using two Wall Sconces placed on either side of the mirror, while for larger sized bathrooms proper illumination can be obtained by fixing Picture Lights on the ceiling. However it is very important to consider about the safety aspects against electric shock while considering about Bathroom Lighting, which is more important than the aesthetics and decor of the bathroom. 

Another important issue that has to be considered while selecting the bathroom fixture is the generation of water vapor and its contact with the hot bulb of the light. This kind of problem can be avoided by using fixtures with spot type lights and this offers safety too. There is vast range of Outdoor lighting fixtures available from where spot type light can be chosen.

In general the lighting in bathroom must meet three essential conditions, it must be aesthetic, functional, and provide the required environment. You will need bright light during routine tasks like shaving etc, whereas discreet light is sufficient during relaxation moment like when you are in a bathtub. The bulbs chosen should provide enough light that is needed in the room. Therefore you must use the fixtures for lights which can be as fancy as you like, but must be flexible enough to get directed as you like. 

You may be able to direct the light in dark areas if needed and you can use the mirror too to reflect the light by locating the position of lights at some strategic places.  All these arrangement can help you to get brighter or dimmer light as and when needed to create a suitable environment.  

The Bathroom Lighting must be quite clear and its intensity must be controlled.  Your selected lighting fixtures must work in tandem with your furnishing items and other decorative items fixed in the bathroom. If you are looking forward to having a classic bathroom then it must have a mirror with very graceful frame and shaded lights. In most modern bathrooms, mirrors are usually without frames and the spots are so placed that lights should not get too bright.
