Bathroom Lighting

Modern designers in the design of the bathroom interior are increasingly focusing on lighting, because in the bathroom it should be the brightest in comparison with other rooms in the house. One of the main principles of proper lighting in the bathroom is placing it on three levels - floor, mirror-level lighting and ceiling. It is this bathroom lighting that can create a completely new dimension and stunning design, and the correct arrangement of fixtures on all three levels will successfully complete the interior design of the bathroom. In addition to the standard ceiling lamp or chandelier, which we are accustomed to, more daring lighting techniques can be used in the bathroom. In addition to the main lighting, it can be halogen lamps in the floor, and lighting around the bath and shower, allowing you to create a romantic atmosphere, and the light inside the shower, and the mirror in the bathroom.

In a small bathroom, one ceiling light will suffice, but in a more spacious room for even distribution of light, several luminaires should be installed. By the same principle, the power of the lamps is selected. Ceiling fixtures can be both built-in and open. Built-in is more suitable for suspended ceilings. But still for the bathroom this is not the best option, since the beam of light built into the ceiling fixtures is directed downwards and does not dissipate. Therefore, basically

bathroom lighting is better to use spotlights with an adjustable angle.

In bathrooms with high ceilings, it is better to use suspended ceilings up to 1.5 meters in length depending on the height of the ceilings of your bathroom.

In any of the rooms there is a need for zoning. Similarly to the bathroom - the space near the mirror should be identified as a separate functional area. In bathrooms with a niche, a catwalk and other delights of design of such functional areas there can be some, but nevertheless, a mirror and a washbasin is that place in a bathroom which should be as much as possible lighted. Designers recommend symmetrically to place lamps on both sides of the mirror, which, on the one hand, will provide good lighting, and on the other - will not blind the eyes. It is important that the light is not reflected in the mirror.

To relax well when taking a bath, it should be separated from the rest of the sanitary ware and furniture forbathroom. Some plumbing manufacturers offer models of baths with independent lighting, which is very exciting, but not less expensive solution.

Today, designers offer one more kind of additional lighting in the bathroom - the lighting of the bathroom furniture. Opening the cabinet, in which the shelves are equipped with lighting, you can easily find the things you need.

This type of bathroom lighting is both complementary and decorative. For a bathroom use strong and hermetic fixtures capacity to 5Вт, such as for illumination of garden paths. When water hits such lamps are safe. To create unusual lighting effects, use colored lights in the bathroom.

Well-designed lighting in the bathroom can transform it - a small bathroom is made visually wider and more spacious, and larger - more stylish, original and refined.

In a small bathroom to solve the issue of space will help a false window with backlighting, bright mirror or ceramic tiles and bright enough lighting.

In the large bathrooms, muted light and colorful lighting will be beneficial.

In the quest for beauty and richness of the interior, you should not forget about safety either. When organizing the lighting of a bathroom, it should be in the first place, since it is a premise with high humidity. All lighting devices must be protected from direct contact with moisture, and those that have metal fittings must be grounded.
