Designing bathroom lighting in a rational way is essential to give style and character to this environment and enhance its qualities. Lighting in the bathroom, in fact, must be studied and designed with expertise to make the most out of natural light and make the bath brighter and more enjoyable, especially when light is lacking. Here are some useful tips.
Light in the bathroom: mistakes to avoid
Without the right lighting, bathroom can be unwelcoming and not fully functional. That’s why we must avoid all the mistakes that are often made in bathroom lighting.
When lights are too strong or too weak, something is not really working, but there are also other elements that need to be considered. First of all, we must think that the quality of lighting depends on the distribution of light on different levels: creating only a single level of light creates a flat and not very functional effect. Instead, it is better to create different points of lighting with wall lights, light bars or ceiling lights.
It is also essential avoiding shaded areas inside the bathroom. For this reason, it is important to know how to make the most of natural light and study furnishings, coverings – from ceramics to stones, resins, glazes, mosaics, wallpapers etc – and where to arrange single points lighting to create a spreaded key light evenly throughout the room and more powerful and targeted backlights in the mirror area.
Another common mistake in bathroom lighting concerns the color of the light. To create the right color effect, take into account the color of the room, the furnishings and tune the right lighting, in the same color family, to create an appropriate atmosphere.
