Choose Bathroom Lighting That Accents The Rest Of The Room
There are three types of bathroom design. The first is the "utilitarian" look where only what's needed is there (maybe even a shower curtain). The second is the "foreign" design that feels like you walked into a room in someone else's house. And the third, although rare, is the one that is designed so that everything fits together and looks complete. As people are spending more time in their homes, they're gravitating towards the third design, but not fast enough. In this post I want to show you how to pick out the bathroom lighting that will help your room feel finished, complete, and not foreign.
The first step it to figure out what your style actually is. Most times people will continue whatever the theme is of the rest of the home into the bathroom. This is a great idea, and will help the bathroom feel like an extension of the rest of the home. An easy way to figure out what your home's style is to look at the lighting. Lighting is easy to classify into a genre. If you have modern lights in your home, add modern lights into your bathroom.
If your bathroom is already partially decorated an you're looking to upgrade the lights to complete it, you're already halfway finished. The style is there, just pick out the bathroom lighting fixtures that are going to help everything in there look better. Keep in mind that light fixtures aren't cheap, so be content with the style that you already have so that you don't have to swap everything out in a few years.
A helpful tip to make sure that your lights are going to compliment the bathroom is to bring something with you, like the toothbrush holder or some other decoration, and make sure that the lights that you're looking at jive with it. It's extremely easy to determine if something is going to fit when you're looking at them side by side, and difficult to do when you're relying on your memory to do the job.
Your bathroom should be an extension of the rest of your home, and picking the right lights for it can be a big step towards making that happen!
