Let There Be Light: Improving Your Lighting

Your bathroom plays an integral role in your life - it's a place to relax, a place to rejuvenate and a place to prepare for all the busy days of your life. Making sure your bathroom has enough and adequate light is crucial to getting the most benefits from it. Here, we'll cover how much light your bathroom really needs - and where to put it.

The Bathroom's Fab Four
Your bathroom has four types of lighting to consider: natural light from windows, general lighting from a single source in the ceiling, decorative lighting, and task lighting.

Natural lighting is key to maintaining a soft, elegant overall feel to your bathroom. Maximize it by using sheer window coverings, Venetian blinds or - even better - frosted, uncovered glass that allows natural light to pass through.
General lighting should enhance natural light during the day and be enough to replace it at night. A series of recessed light fixtures in the ceiling is an optimum general lighting choice; rather than depending on a single light, recessed lights can illuminate and highlight the entire bathroom.
Decorative lighting is playful - true, it's not utilitarian, but it is a way to accentuate the special touches you add to your space. Lighting around a mirror can serve a dual purpose, though, in casting light into a workspace while drawing attention to decorative elements in the area.
Task lighting is perhaps the most important in the bathroom as its used for careful bathroom tasks such as shaving or putting on makeup. Wall sconces and above-vanity fixtures with fluorescent or halogen light bulbs will ensure bright, shadow-free light.
