Correct lighting is essential for the bathroom. Ambient lighting sets the stage to add task or accent lighting to call out the rooms features.

Glare can be annoying, especially when performing delicate grooming tasks. Recessed lighting for baths should be adjustable with an attachment that goes over the fixture; an eyeball or a wall-wash trim are both covers that partially obscure the fixture and direct the light source to bounce light off the walls and ceiling to help reduce glare and shadow.

Task Lighting:

The most important aspect of task lighting is to enhance visual clarity and provide shadow-free light for ease of personal grooming.

Vertical fixtures or sconces mounted on either side of the mirror are best for makeup and shaving. Be sure to position sconces to shed equal light on both sides of the face, and 3 to 4 feet apart on the wall. Bathroom fixtures should have translucent shades to diffuse light, and exposed bulbs should be frosted to cut glare.

Ambient Lighting:

Depending on the size of the bathroom, you may also need accent or ambient lighting to create a soft glow around the rooms perimeter for a perfect sanctuary.

Styles of accent or ambient lighting include:

  • Ceiling Lights
  • Pendant Lamps
  • Chandeliers
