Bath Lights

Brighten up your bathroom with the right lighting

Installing an appropriate lighting scheme in your bathroom can make a world of difference when it comes to everyday activities such as shaving, applying makeup and brushing your teeth. Since each bathroom is different, there are a variety of ways to maximize the effectiveness of light. Bathrooms without windows may require more light than those with windows. Small bathrooms may need only one light fixture while larger ones may require different types in different places. In addition to ensuring adequate light for grooming and personal hygiene, you’ll want to choose fixtures that complement the style of your bathroom. Recessed lights, wall brackets and even hanging lights can all be both practical and elegant additions. Keep the following questions in mind as you shop for new bathroom lighting:

* How large is your bathroom?
* Does it allow natural light into the area?
* Where should lighting be placed for maximum effectiveness?
* What types of fixtures are best for your bathroom?
* Do you want or need nighttime illumination?

Don’t Forget

Light bulbs are a necessity in many different fixtures, so make sure you have replacements on hand.
