If you decide to brighten up your bathroom, take the following ideas into consideration. A bright bathroom with proper lighting will give the illusion of more space which is perfect for small bathrooms.

One important thing you should consider is how many light fixtures are needed in your bathroom. If you need more than one light fixture, a good plan for the size and overall layout should be made. Then, think about what the color scheme you want for your bathroom. White or pastel colours will enlarge the space visually, which is perfect for contemporary designs.

Further more, each area in the bathroom requires proper lighting to serve its own purpose. In this case, one light fixture is not enough. Start by planning lighting needed for areas such as showers, bath, mirrors etc.

Three important light sources in bathroom are: natural light from windows or skylights, task lighting beside the mirror and the main light(s) in the ceiling. The combination of these different lights provides the appropriate lighting effect for your bathroom.

When people look into the mirror, there should be enough lights for makeup or shaving. The soft glow will emphasize the beautiful features on your face. Make sure the light provided will not cast shadow on your face; otherwise, it will be difficult to apply your makeup or groom. In particular, bar lighting is an excellent type of lighting for the mirror area. This kind of light fixture has more than one blub fitted around the side and top portion of the mirror.

The bath and shower areas also call for proper lighting especially designed for wet areas to avoid accidents. Recessed lights are perfect.

If there is a window in your bathroom, the natural lighting is bright enough during the day. To ensure your privacy, you can control the lighting that penetrates the bathroom by the shutters according to your requirement.
