If you are redesigning your bathroom then think carefully about the type of lighting you need for this small but very important room. Bathroom lighting is often neglected when it comes to home decoration, consider ceiling lights, wall mounted fixtures, vanity and mirror lighting, even table lamps and candles can provide effective lighting in a bathroom.
One of the main lighting features in your bathroom to get right is around the bathroom mirror. They need to be bright enough to enable you to see exactly what you are doing, but not too bright that they glare and don't do your looks any justice! Mirrors are available with the lights already inset around the edges using LED or xenon bulbs or halogen lamps suitable for moist locations. Placing sconces either side of the mirror, or a single, horizontally placed wall light above it can light up the whole room, and if the mirror extends right up to the ceiling, there are wall sconces that can be mounted directly onto it.Shower proof downlighters are a great way to light up shower cubicles, find them in circular satin silver, antique brass or chrome finish, or square shaped contemporary glass and chrome for a really stunning look.Proper lighting in your bathroom can actually help you to look better! Glaring lights show up all the imperfections and lumpy bumps we all have, a softer lighting system can make you look good which in turn will give you a great feeling for the day ahead.As your bathroom can also act as your safe haven then it's necessary to have some softer lighting fixtures, bright enough to see by but soft enough to create an ambience. If the room is big enough for a small table or cabinet then it's a nice idea to place a lamp on top to provide a softer light that can be used instead of the main overhead light. Light some candles, turn on the soft lighting and steam up a hot bath, sit back and relax.Get some idea of the styles and possibilities first, you can do this by looking online or through home decorating magazines. A bathroom is not only a place to bathe, pluck and preen, it's also a great place to escape from the outside world for a while � imagine yourself relaxing in a nice hot bath with soft lighting and a glass of wine and de-stress after a hectic day.Bright lighting is the first priority for your bathroom as it's needed to prepare your body to present to the outside world, you don't want to get to work and have people pointing out that you have missed a spot whilst shaving. Or realize there are hairs sprouting from your nose! Every woman wants to look good and applying make up has to be done under a bright enough light to see clearly.We all spend a long time in the bathroom checking ourselves out so don't rush into your decorating scheme, think about how the space can be most effectively lit up and search online for a lighting company who can offer advice and give you a good price.
