More On Bathroom Light Fixtures
Not Just Any Bathroom Light Fixture
When you take the trouble to remodel your bathroom or replace existing bathroom light fixtures, be creative about the type of fixtures to give the room a fresh look. This is one room that is highly functional. But, it needn’t be drab when it comes to lighting. Take note of the light from windows in the room. This will give you an idea of how much additional lighting may be required. Next, make an assessment of the style of the room: traditional, modern or country. Bathroom light fixtures that are installed with dimmer switches are usually ideal for individuals who need bright light for shaving mirrors and muted light for a long, languishing bath. With this information gathered, it’s easy to make a discerning choice in bathroom light fixtures.
Wall or Ceiling Mounted Bathroom Light Fixtures
Decide before purchasing bathroom light fixtures whether it will be wall or ceiling mounted. There are many wall-mounted styles available: double sconces, single lamp styles and traditional candlestick sconces. Track lighting above the bathroom mirror is another option. For ceiling- mounted bathroom fixtures, modern decor does well with either recessed lights or globular fixtures with stainless steel frames. For traditional, there are a number of chandelier styles that give this room a special elegance. Some have crystal teardrops while others have a floral wire design. For a country appeal, install a small wagon wheel chandelier or a chandelier with several hurricane lamps attached to a polished wood frame.
Maintaining Bathroom Light Fixtures
Bathroom light fixtures require little maintenance other than occasional dusting. Wood frames on chandeliers may require a restorative polish if the room has high humidity levels. The best way to avoid this is another type of bathroom lighting fixture that combines lighting with an exhaust fan.
