How to Light Your Bathroom with Style
Lighting your bathroom is more than installing a few light fixtures. By designing your bathroom lighting system to suit your style, design and decor tastes, you can incorporate your bathroom design theme into a well-lit and comfortable space that you’ll love for years to come. Use these tips and techniques for lighting your bathroom with style for the perfect bathroom remodeling, redecorating or redesigning project every time.
Amazing Design

It all starts with your bathroom design. By designing your lighting system around your bathroom fixtures, faucets and task areas you can easily create a bathroom lighting style that fits perfectly into your bathroom design. It’s a good idea to begin your lighting design by drawing a blueprint. Measure the dimensions of your bathroom using a tape measure and transfer the dimensions to your sketch. You don’t have to be an artist to create a good blueprint. By using a CAD program, you can easily enter your bathrooms dimensions into the computer and overlay lighting options for the perfect bathroom lighting design.
Task Lighting

Task lights are one of the most important parts of any bathroom design. Without the right task lights, brushing your teeth, taking a shower and putting on makeup can be difficult at best. That’s why it’s so important to incorporate these lights into your design first, and then allow other lighting sources to add to the effect. Stylish task lighting options include lighted make-up mirrors, monorail track lights and bath exhaust fans. An exhaust fan with a light kit can add a look of elegance to your lighting design as well as create the perfect ventilation system for alleviating moisture in the bathroom.
Ambient Lighting

Lighting options like task lights tend to focus light to specific places in the bathroom. Ambient light sources make up for the dead space that task lighting can’t cover. Shadows and dead spots are eliminated easily using an ambient lighting source. From florescent box lights to recessed flush ceiling lights, ambient bathroom lighting is a functional and fashionable lighting option perfect for any bathroom design theme.
Accent Lights
(via)
Because your bathroom design is what you want to notice most, accent lighting can play an important role in bathroom lighting. Accent lights showcase wall art, decor items and bathroom design themes perfectly. Typically, these lighting options are designed to point a directional spotlight onto a surface, space or area in your bathroom—similar to task lighting, but they can also be part of the decor themselves. Track lighting, pendant lights and monorail lights are all great ways to showcase your decor and your lights.
