Emphasize Task Lighting
You do a lot of tasks in the bathroom every day, from combing your hair and brushing your teeth to shaving and putting on makeup. This means you need great task lighting, so you can accomplish these tasks with ease. For your bathroom remodel at your Connecticut home, you'll want to have great vanity lighting, as well as overhead lighting to add general lighting to your space. You can also invest in wall sconces for either side of the mirror.
Play Up the Ambient Mood
Many people love to relax in their bathroom after a long day or week at work. During these times when you want to wash away the cares of the world, you'll want ambient lighting, or lighting that sets the mood. Great ways to impart soothing and calmness with lighting include a chandelier that adds a bit of elegance and romanticism, a small table lamp with a colored shade for great color, or a wall torchiere in a cool design.
Smart Bathroom Lighting
Another great bathroom remodeling lighting you should consider is smart home automation for your bathroom lighting. It's really convenient not to have to fumble for a light switch in the middle of the night. Smart lighting can be programmed for any type of light and to your brightness specifications. Plus, it can be integrated with your smartphone for optimal control and ease of use. We can help automate your window blinds, too.
Eliminate Shadows
Bathrooms are notorious for having shadows because there can be little natural lighting. This is when the technique of layering light comes in handy. Here, you'll want to be sure your new bathroom lighting in your remodel reaches every corner. You can use a combination of overhead lighting, wall lighting, and hanging lights in order to accomplish this. Common shadow areas are by the vanity. Using more than one type of lighting at your vanity, such as pendants and wall sconces, can offer the best lighting and decor, too.
Have a Source of Light at Night
No one truly likes stumbling to the bathroom in the middle of the night, tripping on slippers, the cat, or the trash can. It's important that you have a high-quality source of light incorporated in your bathroom remodel for nighttime lighting. You want the lighting to be soft, so it doesn't bother you while you are sleeping or blind you when you walk into the bathroom at night. There are many creative and fun ways to add nightlights to your bathroom remodel. We suggest trying a small lamp in a beautiful design that speaks to you, or low-level lighting beneath your bathroom cabinets that not only looks good, but also offers the perfect amount of lighting for your needs.
