Types of Bathroom Lighting
Bathroom lighting is essential for both function and design, and it comes in five main types: ambient, task, accent, decorative, and layered. By combining these lighting types, we can create a bathroom that looks well-balanced, efficient, and stylish.
Ambient Lighting
Ambient lighting provides overall brightness to your bathroom, using fixtures such as ceiling lights or recessed lights to illuminate the entire room.
Accent Lighting
Accent lighting highlights features like the bathroom backsplash, artwork, or mirrors, adding style and depth to the room.
Task Lighting
Task lighting focuses on specific areas, such as vanity lights for grooming or bright LED strips around mirrors for better visibility.
Decorative Lighting
Decorative lighting enhances the bathroom's appearance with stylish fixtures, such as wall sconces, chandeliers, and pendant lights.
Layered Lighting
Layered lighting combines various types of lighting to create a bathroom space that is practical and visually appealing.
