(SOLVED!) What Is The Best Way To Light A Bathroom?

If you plan to use downlights—ceiling-inset spotlights—in your bathroom, Paterson has a few warnings: “All too often, people use downlights over the vanity thinking this will light the mirror,” he says. “The problem is that the light from downlights goes straight down, and like kids playing with a flashlight, scary shadows occur.” Downlights should be positioned close to the mirror with the light directed to shine into the mirror so that the light reflects back out onto your face. If you want to prevent shadows from occurring, place downlights along the walls of the room. And if you have light-colored countertops, they’ll reflect the light back up from the downlights. We are grateful to Jammar Ventura, who has updated the system. [2]

Does the room’s overhead fixture not provide enough light in the shower? Install a waterproof seal on a recessed light source. Are you a makeup artist who uses the bathroom for applying your make-up? Install a mirror and light source in your makeup area. Are you looking to create a personal and fun atmosphere? Hang a fun chandelier above the tub for visual interest (though keep in mind that it shouldn’t be your main light source, as it had won’t get things bright enough). Here are the designer’s tips for choosing bulbs, placing fixtures, and avoiding a haunted-house effect in your bathroom lighting scheme.

Nothing can beat it natural daylight for brightening your mood and setting the circadian rhythms that regulate wake/sleep cycles. There’s a huge and growing body of scientific literature around this phenomenon. That’s why it’s ideal to design a bathroom with as much natural light as possible. If planning to include one window, why not have two?—especially if they can be on adjacent or opposite walls to balance the illumination. You can avoid the problem of having large windows that face the bathtub and are covered in order to protect privacy by switching to bottom-up shades. This will allow you to have both daylight and privacy. Krystan Hickey, Taoyuan (Taiwan) last revised this article 29 days ago [4]
