Bathroom Lighting
Lighting is a complex task, and bathroom lighting is no exception. Lifestyle, practicality, style, ambience, and color schemes are just a few of the considerations that come into play when planning the lighting in your bathroom remodeling project. Even if you have chosen the bathroom lighting you want to install, only deciding the place, height, and watts will cost you much time and effort. As such, making a mistake can make your bathroom highly dysfunctional and even unpleasant. 101 Bathrooms is here to ensure that that doesn’t happen – with a full team of design and building professionals, we can design and create the perfect bathroom lighting solutions for your bathroom, en-suite or cloakroom.

Bathroom lighting key areas
First and foremost, it is important that your bathroom light compliments the materials and color scheme you have chosen for the rest of the bathroom. For example, warmer colors and materials should be matched with soft lighting to create a relaxed and gentle ambience. In contrast to this, the bathroom lighting around your vanity mirror and sink should be bright to the extent that they provide sufficient light for things like applying make-up and shaving, but gentle enough to remain complimenting. Wall sconces that are mounted directly onto the mirror are the best at achieving these two tasks, yet this can be costly. The next best alternative is to install vanity bathroom lights approximately 75-80 inches above the floor with 150 watts, that can spread cleanly and evenly over a fixture about 24 inches long.
Bathroom lighting warnings
Down lights over your mirror will cast shadows and circles onto your face if it is the only source of bathroom lighting. Also, exposed bulbs and fixtures can create strong glare, which is especially unsuited to the elderly.
