All too often, bathrooms are designed with a one-size-fits-all approach, which means that often, just a single light source is installed. Little attention is paid to the practical aspects of having multiple light sources, as well as how the lighting affects the overall feel of the room.
Lighting is an important part of the bathroom. Improving the lighting is arguably one of the biggest ways that you can make a difference to your bathroom. The best approach involves applying a layered lighting scheme to your bathroom, which includes ambient lighting, task lighting, and decorative lighting.
If you’re thinking of upgrading your bathroom lighting, here are some tips for help you to choose lighting that’s optimal for your room.
Ambient Lighting
The ambient lighting in a room includes natural light sources, as well as room lights that act as a substitute for natural light. Ambient lighting includes overhead light, as well as wall lighting that helps to add ambiance to the room. It’s important to consider the size and layout of the room, and to choose lights that are consistent with the overall design of the bathroom, ones that effectively illuminate the entire room.
