Maximize Any Natural Bathroom Lighting

No matter how hard we try, we cannot perfectly mimic natural light, and natural light has amazing benefits for our bodies and our souls. It helps us with our natural sleep rhythm, helps with improved bone health, and helps improve our mood. When you work to maximize the natural lighting in your bathroom, your bathroom will feel more spacious, open, and relaxing naturally.

Try to Mimic Natural Lighting

Known officially as "daylighting," your bathroom should be modeled after daylight as much as possible. Consider adding a skylight if possible. Or, choose appropriate color temperatures for your bathroom lighting. For incandescent bulbs, use cool white. For LED bulbs, look for those in the 4000K to 6500K range for the best results.

Mix Your Styles

Admittedly, the types of bathroom lighting can be overwhelming. From wall sconces and vanity lights to flush mounts and chandeliers, you have a lot of options. On the flip side, these options are great because each type of lighting offers unique characteristics to maximize your lighting. Our lighting designers at The Light House Gallery recommend mixing and matching bathroom lighting styles in order to achieve the best effect.

Mix Your Moods

As mentioned above, your bathroom is multi-functional, so you need different styles of lighting in order to meet your needs and to help you with mood. Ambient lighting is your softer lights that help to mimic daylight. Task lighting is your brighter lighting, and accent lighting is more likely to be confined to a certain space, such as mirror lighting. Let our lighting designers help you optimize your bathroom lighting today!

Remember, It's Your Bathroom

Since your bathrooms are largely personal spaces (with the exception being guest bathrooms), you should remember that the design is at your discretion. Choose bathroom lighting that will make your heart sing and your burdens a bit lighter, even if it's a bit eclectic. You use your bathroom every day; it should be a space you enjoy and even look forward to.
