Lighting
Tips: Bathroom
In the bathroom, practicality comes into play more than
in the rest of the house. After all, shaving in the dark is not recommended!
Simple things can make the difference, like placing mirror strip lights
on either side of the mirror - as oppesed to above the mirror - to minimize
shadows.
To further minimize shadows, consider using frosted
bulbs rather than clear bulbs.
Recessed lighting also works very well in the bathroom,
especially where the color scheme is off-white. Consider installing
dimmers though, because without dimmers the light could be too sharp
- especially in the mornings.
If your self esteem allows, use mirrors generously.
Not only will they make your bathroom appear more spacious, they will
also multiply the amount of light. If used decoratively, mirrors can
be used to create beautiful patterns of layered light.
