When you decide to remodel your bathroom, there are several different decisions you will need to make from the beginning design process to the end. An area that is often underConsultationd in every remodel is the lighting. Choosing the right lighting for your bathroom can have a big impact on the final look and feel of your bathroom remodel. Laguna Bay Developing is here to talk about some things that should be considered when you choose the lighting for your new bathroom.
Purpose of Ambient Lighting
A good starting point for any remodel is the ambient lighting. This is the lighting that is chosen to give your bathroom basic light. You want this light to fill the space when it is turned on. It may be a combination of several can lighting fixtures, a chandelier or other lighting fixtures that will be usually positioned in the center of the room.
What is Task Lighting in a Bathroom?
There are a couple of areas in your bathroom that need to have task lighting which is a concentrated light to assist you in tasks. The most common area that you notice task lighting is at the vanity and mirrors. This is often the area where makeup will be applied and other tasks similar to it. One area that is often forgotten but can benefit from task lighting is the shower. It is often nice to have extra lighting in the shower. This can be accomplished with an extra recessed light as well as other fixtures.
Functions of Accent Lighting
If you are looking to take your bathroom remodel to the next level, accent lighting is a great way to do it. You can achieve this with some led lighting under that cabinets and behind mirrors. If you have an artwork on the walls, you can also place accent lighting to help bring the focus to it. If you are looking for luxury, accent lighting isn’t something that you should skip.
Can You Put a Dimmer Switch in the Bathroom?
There may be times that you are wanting to relax in a warm bath full of water. For these times when you don’t want to have the light so bright but also don’t want to sit in the dark, you can have a dimmer installed that can customize the amount of light you want in the space. This will give you control of the mood in the room. A dimmer switch can also be helpful when you get up in the night to use the bathroom and don’t want to have to adjust to bright lights.
