If you’re looking for some spectacular lighting to create the right ambience in your bathroom, this advice from John Fearon, managing director for Astro Lighting, will help you to choose:
1 – Plan your lighting, be creative and make sure that all the products you choose are IP rated for safe use in the bathroom.
2 – For every bathroom, large or small, three types of lighting need consideration – general, task and ambient.
3 – I would recommend recessed downlights for general-lighting purposes, as they will create a sophisticated ambience.
4 – Think about task lighting around the operational hub of the bathroom – the basin. Every basin needs a mirror so choose a good-sized, illuminated mirror.
5 – For a glamorous, hotel-like look, go for a bright wall light on either side of the mirror. This will ensure that you get light evenly from at least two sides to avoid unsightly shadows across the face.
6 – Last but not least, consider how to achieve soft, ambient lighting for a calming glow when you go for that well-earned soak in the bath. You can do this simply by installing a dimmer switch for the main lights, or by using recessed LEDs at low-level.
