BATHROOMS

bathroom, this doesn’t mean lighting can
be put on the backburner. In fact, without
proper lighting, the dream bathroom is
more likely to become a gloomy space
with underdone style.
Ambient lighting is usually the
overhead lighting that fills a space with
soft yet bright light. Depending on the
bathroom’s size, it may require more
than one overhead fixture. Include a few
fixtures around the vanity and mirror
plus the shower and tub and place more
emphasis on function over form.
As accent lighting is meant to highlight
a certain object or area in a room, this
type of lighting is normally three times
brighter than ambient. Wall sconces are
super practical, they take up no floor
space, serve double duty (accent and task)
plus can be purchased in any design style
imaginable. dw
