Bathroom Lighting Tips

One of the busiest rooms in the house, the bathroom needs careful consideration when it comes to lighting. Importantly, your lighting should be flexible enough to accommodate shaving, applying makeup and pampering in a hot shower or bath.

Wall lighting above a mirror shines light on your face making shaving and makeup application easy. Add to this flattering general lighting such as downlights, flush mounts or a combined bathroom light/heater and fan.

Chandelier in the bathroom? It’s an increasingly popular choice as a chandelier positioned in the corner of the bathroom or beside a vanity mirror adds a beautiful touch of elegance. Keep the chandelier on a separate switch so that you can turn all other lights off and relax to the subtle glow of the chandelier.

Most importantly, exhaust fans must be installed to stop mold and structural rot.
