1. Consider Your Bathroom Size
The size of your bathroom is a crucial factor to consider when buying lighting fixtures. If you have a small-sized bathroom, go for fixtures that create an illusion of space such as small flush or semi-flush ceiling lights or wall-mounted sconces that add light without taking up valuable floor space. For larger bathrooms, opt for statement chandeliers, pendant lights, and large wall sconces to create drama and add character.
2. Lighting Type and Color Temperature
Before purchasing any fixture, consider the type of light your bathroom requires. There are four primary types of lighting: ambient light – general illumination that provides overall brightness; task light- focused illumination for grooming activities; accent light- illuminates specific areas and objects in the space; decorative light- purely aesthetic illumination.
Also, consider color temperature as it affects how you look in front of the mirror. A “warm” white color temperature (2700K-3000K) provides warm soft lighting that makes us look more attractive while “cool” white color temperature (4000K-6000K) is bright and efficient but can make our skin appear washed out.
3. Style
Bathroom lighting fixtures come in different styles ranging from traditional to contemporary; ensure that they match or complement your decor style. Popular styles include farmhouse, industrial-style pendants or vanity lights with metal shades for an edgy feel; mid-century modern pendants with glass globes creating a statement piece or brushed nickel vanity lights for a sleek look.
4. Placement and Height
The placement of lighting fixtures will depend on the size of your bathroom and the type of fixtures you choose. For overhead fixtures, ensure there’s enough distance between the fixture and ceiling to allow ample light spread. Wall-mounted sconces should be placed high enough for even illumination but not too high that it won’t provide adequate lighting while you’re standing at the sink.
In conclusion, purchasing bathroom lighting fixtures requires a careful consideration of various factors to achieve the right ambiance, style, and functionality. A well-lit bathroom with appropriate lighting can enhance its aesthetic appeal and create a relaxing ambiance that’s perfect for unwinding after a long day. With these tips in mind, you’re sure to find the perfect bathroom lighting fixture for your home.
