Getting Started with the
Layout Before you implement the lighting projects in the bathroom, you need to think about some details. As a rule, this must be taken care of even at the initial stage of repair, when the walls are "free" from the layer of finishing materials. The location of lighting devices, the choice of cable and its installation, the selection of suitable lighting devices - all these moments need to be carefully thought through. In this you will be assisted by an experienced electrician, who will also advise on how best to place lighting devices.
Cable laying
The cable section selection depends on the number of all lighting devices planned for installation in the bathroom. Correct laying of the cable in the wall is the main basis for lighting. After all, it is worthwhile to make a mistake and incorrectly lay the electric wire, as then it will be necessary to "rivet" the wall or ceiling with a new finish to fix the situation.
So, let's say, the cable is laid and all the electro points are installed( if necessary, you can use the services of an electrician).The lighting arrangement in the bathroom has 3 levels:
- Lighting the ceiling in the bathroom
- Medium( eye level)
- Lower( 40-50 cm from the floor)
It should be noted that the simultaneous application of these species looks good in a spacious room. Lighting in a small bathroom is better planned, based on the first two options.
Bathroom lighting options
Lighting ceiling .For this you can buy lamps with shades in the form of a circle, stars, clouds, a sheet - of your choice. Such lamps should be two: one is located near the door, and the second - next to the mirror.
Spot lights in the bathroom .With the help of spotlights it is possible to make the most unusual light compositions - a scattering of "stars" or raindrops on the ceiling, waves from luminous "points" on the wall, lines of brilliant "crystals" near the mirror. This is an incredibly amazing sight! Similar lighting of bathrooms( in the photo of which you can admire this splendor) is very popular in modern design solutions. True, for fixtures - "points" will have to make a suspended ceiling.
Bathroom mirror lighting
The mirror in the bathroom needs special lighting, which can be used if necessary to adjust makeup or perform other cosmetic procedures. The best option - a wall sconce, located at the mirror. Such lighting in the bathroom( photo look here) will allow you to see well not only your reflection in the mirror, but also the contents of different "nearby" lockers and shelves.
Thus, properly designed lighting in the bathroom will give a finished look to your interior and make it all "play up" all the design elements. Then the time spent in a warm foam bath or under a cool shower will only do good. Good mood and successful water procedures!
