Lighting is another of the very important accessories to add to bathroom furnishings. When you have spent time and effort over selecting a vanity cabinet of your choice and also got a suitable mirror to match the vanity, it is now time to discuss with your favourite decorator/furniture dealer about proper light fittings for your bathroom. Imagine going out with a badly/patchily applied make-up! This is what happens when you do not have sufficient lighting to focus while you are dressing. All of us start our day at the bathroom and most possibly we spend some time there at the end of the day before going to bed. This is where we do many of our everyday tasks like dental care, hair care, shaving, bathing, dressing up and making up. Still many a time, bathrooms get a raw deal and end up with just one ceiling light.
Some of the areas in the bathroom need to be sufficiently well-lit – like the mirror over the vanity cabinet. This is the place where we spend time doing our daily grooming. For a smaller size mirror at the wash area – if the room is otherwise well-lit – one light over the mirror may be sufficient. But ideally, a pair of wall-mounted lights fixed on both sides of the mirror will look great and give shadow-free and sufficient light on your face when you need it most for applying makeup evenly. Suppose you have a large mirror or a pair of mirrors over the vanity, it is best to have a series of lights horizontally fitted in the ceiling above the vanity. If you like to relax with a book in the bathroom, you will need a light just over the toilet seat and/or a pedestal lamp nearby. If you like an opulent and luxurious look, you can go for a chandelier type cluster lights that can transform the bathroom dramatically.
With the number of options you have today, you can go for customized mirrors that come with built-in lights and vanity cabinets which come with extra details like built-in interior lighting within the shelf that gets switched on when you lift the top or open the door etc. Occupancy sensor switches, wall sconces, adjustable task lights, accent lights and vanity light dimmers are some of the innovative options you can incorporate into your bathroom lighting decor. Lights are indeed furniture that decorate and beautify your bathroom.
