How to Choose the Perfect Lighting for Your Bathroom
Good lighting is important to every room in your house. It lights up the space and sets the tone for ambiance. While people tend to think of lighting in the most obvious rooms in the house like the living room and dining room, it is important to remember that your bathroom needs the same kind of care. It is one of the most commonly used rooms in the house, so the lighting should be both pleasant and practical.
To maximize the comfort and use of the space, here are a few tips:
- The right level of brightness. What vibe do you want in your bathroom? Bright or dim? Depending on the size and ambiance you want for your bathroom, there are many options when it comes to brightness. For example, you may want brighter light in the bathroom where you most regularly get dressed. For a powder room, however, softer, dimmer lighting may be more endearing. Choose a kilowatt level that is bright enough for your needs, but that doesn’t use excessive energy.
- Location of your fixtures. Where do you want to brighten up your bathroom? You don’t need to set up your lighting fixture in the middle of the bathroom ceiling if you’re most concerned with light in your dressing area. When choosing the right fixtures, you need to consider their location and purpose.
- Opt for the right bulbs. There are many options when it comes to your actual light source. You can choose LED bulbs to save more energy in your bathroom. There are also varying sizes and shape of bulbs, depending on which fits best on the kind of fixture you buy.
- Consider maintenance. Will you be able to maintain it properly? Is it easy to clean? There are fixtures that offer convenience for both, while others may offer light, but are difficult to maintain. If you do not have the time or desire to clean regularly, keep that in mind.
- Do not forget the style. Your light fixture needs to complement the overall ambiance of your bathroom, so it blends well.
Installation. For some people, having to install the fixture themselves is crucial if they do not want to spend money to hire someone else to do it for them. If you are going to do the installation yourself, make sure you choose something that you feel comfortable installing and not damaging.
