Bathroom Lighting Design
Don’t feel overwhelmed when planning a new bathroom lighting design. It’s not as hard as you think. A top quality bathroom lighting design depends on simplicity, not complexity. By knowing the key areas of the bathroom to illuminate, and the specific lights needed to enhance each of these areas, you can design a bathroom lighting layout one key lighting piece at a time. Residential Landscape Lighting and Design offers you the finest lights manufactured from only the best materials by the world’s most reputable manufacturers.
We recommend that you begin designing your bathroom lighting from the top down. Choose a light for your ceiling that represents the overall approach to brightness, decorum, and enhancement of your color scheme. We have a huge inventory of chandeliers, recessed lighting, and pendant lights designed for the bathroom of your dreams. From the low-key and energy conscious to the ornate, elegant, and sophisticated, our selection has something for everyone.
Once you have chosen a ceiling light to set the tone for your bathroom lighting design, the next area to highlight is the vanity and mirror. If your bathroom has a marble sink you can really enhance the beauty of the stone with a 2, 3, or even 4 light vanity set. When lighting your mirror, pay close attention to the absolute necessity of glare-free lighting. One easy way to create this effect is with two small sconces, each on either side of the mirror. Residential Lighting Landscape and Design has a number of sconces for designing your bathroom lighting layout so your vanity has equally adequate task lighting and maximum aesthetic value.
People often forget the importance of wall lighting in bathroom lighting design. They assume that if there is an empty spot on the wall it doesn’t need to be highlighted. Consider thinking outside of the box with one of our many lovely wall lamps. They carry an artistic appeal within themselves that make them both ideal decorative stand-alone pieces as well as functional ambient lights. Even if you have a guest bath with a very large, empty wall opposite the vanity or shower, you can turn a plain design for bathroom lighting into something sheik and elegant with a single purchase from our online selection!
Of course, no design for bathroom lighting can neglect the shower. Both as a safety feature and an aesthetic key element to your bathroom lighting design, the shower light needs to clearly illuminate your bathtub and all bath accessories. Stay consistent with what you have already established in your bathroom lighting design by placing a low voltage recessed light or frosted glass domed light with reflector above the shower. We have a number of unique designs in both options.
For more information on how to light each of these areas in your bathroom, be sure to read all of our online articles, or post an inquiry to one of our design experts. Here at Residential Landscape Lighting and Design, we have a light for every bright you have in mind.
