Bathroom vanity lighting should be chosen based on your needs as well as your style preferences. There are plenty of options to select from, but it is important that the product meets your specific needs before you get them into your home and figure that out. Luckily, selecting great looking lighting is not necessarily hard; it just takes a bit of time to determine the right way to go.
Beyond being able to see yourself in the mirror when you are brushing your teeth (and your daughter's obsession with that one little hair that is out of place) there are many other reasons to consider bathroom lighting important. One of the most important besides function is style. If you have ever walked into someone else's bathroom, you know that it says a lot about you. What does yours say?
- Bathroom vanity lighting should be bright. Look for lighting that illuminates the entire room, or consider going with small features for just the sink and vanity area.
- Don't do the low lights. The last things you need in the bathroom are low levels of lighting. If you want to set the tone or mood, consider adding in dimming lights instead.
- Vanity lights don't have to look like a make up chair at the local actor's guild. Instead, look for softer ways to light up the vanity. You don't have to go with a row of bulbs.
- Spotlights do work. If you have a smaller vanity, consider one spotlight that hangs right above the sink. If you have two vanities or two sink bowls, consider two hanging light fixtures centered over the sinks. Keeping the look symmetrical is also important.
- Don't be cheap for the guests. Your guest bathroom should be good looking, your best so to speak. For that reason, you should make sure you dress it up with a nice, stylish and contemporary look.
Bathroom vanity lighting is important. You can design it anyway that you want but make sure that it serves your needs well. You should be proud to tell your guests where your bathroom is, instead of cringing at the thought of how ugly it is.
