Make Your Bathroom Stand Out Through Proper Lighting

When people come to visit your home, you’d want them to appreciate the whole place. You want them to gush and say wow in every turn from the living room to dining room and even to your bathroom. Considering that most of your designing efforts will be driven to make the immediate areas like the living and dining rooms stand out, remember that bathrooms are frequented sites, too. 

When you go about entertaining inside your home and have everyone drinking and eating, chances are they will be using your private bath and toilet for a leak and for some careful beauty retouching. When guests step inside this space, you don’t want them to break their praises and admiration. You can make your bathroom standout by using proper lighting. 

You don’t have to furnish your bath and toilet with very expensive fixtures. You can have a clean and ordinary shower or bathtub and don’t necessarily need a high-priced Jacuzzi. You can have all the top-notch and expensive tubs, sinks, faucets and shower heads in there but with no proper lighting to back them up, they still will look mediocre and plain at first sight. 

By carefully orchestrating and planning your bathroom lighting, you can make any simple or well-furnished bathroom really stand out. Lighting plays a crucial role in making things not only brighter but making it prettier. Remember what you see every single time you encounter five-star hotel bathrooms in person, in the movies or in magazines? You’ll find that there is always great lighting in place.

What you should know about this concept is that there is a basic rule that must be followed. The different parts of your house follow this to the core, so you might as well carry it on into this space. Rule is there should be adequate task, ambient and accent lighting in the room. 

Task lights are focused ones for grooming and showering. Ambient ones are lights that illuminate the whole room while accent pieces are those that highlight the various display and design elements. If you adhere to this rule, you can always make guests wishing they have exactly the same bathroom as yours.

Aside from committing to the said rule, you also need to make sure that you select bathroom lighting with decorative flair to them. The designs that you pick out should have a common theme. Whether it is reflected on the wall sconces, on the tiny chandeliers or recessed lights, you should see to it that the colors, finishes and style complement each other very well.
