Recessed Shower Lighting
Recessed shower lighting is a very common addition for bathroom renovations due to its convenience. For one, recessed shower lighting is in the ceiling, so you don't have to worry about bumping it when you reach up your arms. Plus, it's extremely safe, especially since there is a constant stream of moisture on a daily basis near it. If you choose LED bulbs, recessed shower lighting offers a fantastic task lighting option for your bathroom needs.
Flush Mount Ceiling Lights
Another great lighting option for your Connecticut home renovation is a flush mount ceiling light. This type of ceiling light lies flat against the ceiling, so it will be out of your way. It offers great brightness for all your showering needs, and it comes in many different types of finishes to perfectly meet your new bathroom decor and styling needs.
A Shower Sconce
A shower sconce is a unique idea that not many people take advantage of. Not only does it add task lighting, but shower sconces are great for ambient lighting and to add to your overall bathroom decor. It can also bring an air of sophistication and class since they aren't seen all that often. When combined with other types of lighting, shower sconces can truly meet your lighting needs, and they can steal the show, too!
Indirect Lighting
Another great way to add lighting to your shower area is to choose indirect lighting. Indirect lighting can help to eliminate any lighting shadows in the corners, and it adds a breath of fresh air, too. Great places for indirect lighting include cubby holes in your shower stalls, as well as on the walls with a wall torchiere or other wall lighting, such as sconces.
Consider Shower Light Temperature
While we love to have bright lights to see by when we are showering, we also don't necessarily want to be blinded first thing in the morning. Our lighting specialists here at Connecticut Lighting Centers recommend you temper your light temperatures, so you have the ultimate combination. Aim for a warm to cool white, which is between 2700 to 3000k on the Kelvin color temperature scale. The temperature of your light will reflect differently on your bathroom's surfaces and can either make the mood or break it. Be aware that you'll want a bit brighter light for your vanity area, and that's okay. The temperatures should mix well.
Be Inventive
This is your chance to reinvent the wheel (or, at least, your wheel) and completely add a whole new shower lighting scheme to your space. The sky's the limit when you are undertaking a bathroom renovation, so don't be afraid to make major changes. Embrace this chance to have a unique, custom creation for your bathroom design that you will enjoy for years to come.
