Vanity Lighting And Mirror: Two Of The Most Important Bathroom Features

By: Tommy Kenningston

Two of the bathroom essentials that perfectly come together as partners are the mirror and the lighting fixture. Why of course how can one check on his/her reflection clearly if there’s nothing to shed light on the mirror area? Also, women applying their makeup will better appreciate it if the mirror they’re looking at is well-lighted so they can get a cue on how will they more or less look like once they get out in the sun.
“Mirror, mirror on the wall, is my bathroom looking fair at all?”
You need to be able to see yourself clearly when you do stuffs like shaving, washing your face and what not. This is the first function of the bathroom mirrors. When buying, apart form its function, you need to see whether the mirror will enhance the look of your bathroom. It will naturally make your bathroom appear spacious. They are useful aesthetic pieces that will improve the whole look of your bathroom. You can make your own mirror design or simply purchase a desired one from the store.
Before you buy a mirror, set the criteria for the mirror. You should avoid anything that is striking to the interior décor of the bathroom. However, if you choose to have that mirror as something that will stand out, make sure you don’t ruin the look of your new bathroom. You can buy a low maintenance type of mirror to avoid wasting time cleaning it later on.
Making your own mirror will be fun. Since mirrors are personal things, you can reflect your personality for the décor of your mirror. For a sports person, you can paste the miniature sports stuffs on the frame. Are you a sentimental person? Paste Polaroid’s of you and your loved ones for decorations. You can even try that creative side in you by making up effects on the frame of your mirror. You can create vintage or antique look for the mirror.
Lighting is the other important feature in the bathroom.
Nobody likes a dark room, unless it is required for your profession, like photographers. Other than them, people would like to stay in a well lighted place. Choosing the perfect lighting is not an easy task. Even the perfect design for a bathroom would fall short without the perfect lightings.
Try the tips below to create the perfect vanity lighting in the bathroom.
- Buy unexposed light bulbs.
Go for those that are covered to avoid glare which is a pain in the eye.
- For small bathrooms, opt for fixtures that emit soft light.
Soft lighting have the tendency of making a room appear bigger than it actually is. Also,, it’s more easy on the eyes and even energy-efficient.
- For a low-ceilinged bathroom, choose vertical/tube lighting while for high-ceilinged ones, go for hanging/suspended fixtures or those chandelier-like ones.
The advantage of having a high ceiling is that the effect of the flow of light could somehow be more dramatic as the light spreads and crawls itself to down to the floor and into every nook in the bathroom.
