Using different bathroom lamps to address different purposes

Many homeowners do not know that they can use different bathroom lighting fixtures in addition to the ceiling light that is usually seen in the center of the room. Like any part of the house, the bathroom area can also make use of different sources of lighting. If you think chandeliers and pendants are best reserved for the dining room and living room, you can also install them in your bathroom area. So are wall sconces, under cabinet lights, and LED lights.

The multiplicity of lights is not an exaggeration when it comes to bathroom spaces. All of them are there to meet the demands for proper lighting. Great bathroom lighting requires different light units to address different purposes. The basic rule requires that there be provisions for task, ambient, accent and decorative lighting into the room. Essentially, it cannot be answered simply by using a solitary lamp.

Chandeliers and pendant lights can be used to address the dual purposes of ambient and accent lighting for your bathroom. Chandeliers are best placed in the center of the room, while pendants work best when placed in the corners of a large master bath. Using these types of bathroom lighting fixtures will provide a luxurious and impressive look to a modest bathroom. When you’re in use of your tub, watching these magnificent creations fade will give you a spa-like feel within your residence.

Mirrors and vanity areas often suffer from a lack of proper lighting. To address the problem of task lighting, wall sconces should ideally be installed on either side of the mirror. This will provide the full, even facial lighting you’ll need to groom yourself properly.

The shower area is also another area that receives neglect of light. To fully clean your body, you need to have the right work lights. Therefore, the use of recessed lighting in this area is a must to allow you to shower thoroughly and more efficiently.

Special attention should also be paid to bathroom cabinets or shelves by the door if you want them to stand out. By placing under cabinet lights next to shelves, you not only make it easy to grab what you need, but you can also add an interesting accent detail to your bathroom.

You can also achieve accent lighting by incorporating LED lights into the partition panels. This can also be done by using a track light whose bulbs can be directed towards a decorative vase or portrait within the room.
