The bathroom represents a significant, strictly functional area of the house and therefore we must give it special attention when planning to decorate, both in terms of the bathroom suite and the lighting fixtures. This space is one can be a room for relaxation, though it is also a functional space, and the moment we think about what lighting to use we have to think about all these things. Efficient lighting will allow us to carry out all the activities relating to these rooms without creating any discomfort.
Bathrooms are characterised, in general, as more restricted areas – they are not always the big, airey rooms we may hope for and, often, do not have natural light. As such, lighting becomes more important than usual. Lighting must be more intense than in the rest of our house, as compared with the needs of the room. Uniform light can be expressed through various bodies, selected according to the size of the bathroom. For a small bath uniform light can be obtained with the help of two bodies of lighting arranged on either side of the mirror, and for a large bath the light may be obtained by using a lightning body affixed to the ceiling, above huge mirrors.
Bathroom lighting can be added to the wall or ceiling, however, wherever the lighting comes from, it must be watertight so the steam from the bathroom would not affect it. If you want to bring a note of originality to your bathroom and to win some space, you can opt for ceilings with incorporated lights, like spotlights. Before thinking about the appearance and aesthetics of the lighting in your bathroom, you must first take into account how to protect users against electric shocks.
Another important aspect in choosing lighting fixtures represent problems that may arise through contact between a heated bulb and water vapour from the bath. Such inconvenience can be avoided if spot type lighting bodies are used. Which, in addition, offer safety and a modern bathroom aspect. These spots are available in a vast range of models and so you have an opportunity to choose exactly what fits your bathroom. The bathroom is an intimate area for us and even if it is used for certain activities it deserves to be equipped with special attention to details.
