Bathroom Lighting—Scones, Pendants, and Chandeliers

Creating a great atmosphere for your bath room will be a challenge unless you know what kind of atmosphere you would like to have. Ideally, light fixtures for bathrooms should be resistant to moisture, water, and dampness. Most of these fixtures are also much simpler in appearance than fixtures for bedrooms, living rooms, and other parts of the house.
Diffused lights are ideal for illuminating bathrooms because they can create a warm atmosphere while fixtures with high wattage illumination can be harsh thus have to be avoided. Most harsh lights create shadows and this is not generally good for bathrooms. Installing dimmer switches can provide you with better control over the brightness of your light fixtures.
Wall scones are ideally great for task illumination. They are perfect for lighting up your vanity mirror by placing them on either side. Wall scones can provide even illumination over the face thus makes grooming very easy and safe. You can place your wall scones within your eye level about 36-40 inches apart from each other. This placement can eliminate casting of shadows on your eyes, cheeks, and chin.
If you are not into wall scones, you can alternatively choose pendant lights as they are also ideal task light fixtures. The type of pendant light fixtures you choose can depend on the size of the vanity area. Suspending two pendant lights on either side of the mirror can provide enough light all throughout your face thus grooming will also be very easy. Just make sure to choose pendant lights that are not too harsh for ones grooming needs.
Chandeliers are usually perfect for ambient illumination. They can light up your bath room space as an alternative for natural light. They are also very decorative in nature thus can charm up your space with less need for decorative items. Chandeliers are also great as supplemental lights around the vanity area. Even though they have multiple bulbs, they can still deliver a soft glow over the area.
Bathroom lighting is also all about making wise decisions on your choice of fixtures. So before buying, always plan to make sure that you have all what you need for your bath room.
