The key to choosing the
proper bathroom ceiling lights
involves selecting light fittings
that provide consistent
ambient illumination while
working with the design of the
room.
It
generally isn't
enough to go with very basic
ideas such as energy saving
first, atmosphere second (if at
all). When you choose lighting
for the bathroom ceiling,
consider the color of the
walls, the cabinetry and the
other lighting you will install.
There are so many choices
when it comes to bathroom
ceiling lights you may feel a
bit overwhelmed. But if you
are careful to match the
fixture with your overall
design you should achieve the
look and feel you are aiming
for. As an example, it
probably won't work to use a
modern, polished chrome
fixture with dark, classic
cabinetry and traditional wall
sconces.
Most homeowners want their
bathroom ceiling lights to be
practical, of course. This is
usually achieved by installing
a very basic overhead fixture
that is connected to a simple
off/on switch. It might be
best, however, to take an
extra step and coordinate the
ceiling light with the mirror
lights and fixtures chosen for
the shower/bath zone.
Consider using a dimmer
switch so that you can adjust
the overall light level then use
fixtures in different areas to
provide ?working? light.
Think about the appearance
of your bathroom ceiling lights
when they are on and when
they are off. This will help you
choose from the many styles
of rectangular and globe
designs. Select your
bathroom ceiling lights with
appearance and function in
mind. |
