Maybe it\u2019s too dim, some parts are just dark, or you\u2019re just looking for something new.<\/p>\n<p>In this piece, we\u2019ll be looking at how bathroom lighting can help make your bathroom a comfortable, relaxing sanctuary.<\/p>\n<p>Getting proper lighting for a bathroom is a combination of choosing the right placement, wattage, and combination of different types of lights.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind the overall light source for a room is called <i>ambient <\/i>lighting. This is the light that illuminates a room so you can see everything and walk around safely. Unlike <i>accent<\/i> or <i>task<\/i> lighting that helps you focus on a more specific activity, ambient lighting is focused on impacting the entire atmosphere of a room. When planning your lighting, make sure to consider what types of ambient and accent lighting you plan on using.<\/p>\n<p><b>Planning Out Your Bathroom Lighting<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need to think about the design of your bathroom and ask yourself the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How is the bathroom\u2019s ceiling designed (e.g., is it taller, sloped, a cove, cantilever, etc.)?<\/li>\n<li>Where are the dark or dim spots currently in my bathroom?<\/li>\n<li>Am I getting enough illumination with my mirrors?<\/li>\n<li>Are my current lights the right wattage or do they need covers or dimmers?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Keep in mind a few tips on what to avoid with your light placement:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid placing lights above mirrors as the light will cast shadows when looking into the mirror.<\/li>\n<li>If your bathroom\u2019s ceiling is taller, sloped, a cove, etc., then it may be a good option to place lights along the perimeter, as this provides indirect lighting but also places the lighting fixture out of sight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you have answered these questions, you\u2019ll have a better idea of how to approach your bathroom\u2019s lighting!<span style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\">\u00a0<\/span><em style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\">&#8211;\u00a0Revive Bath<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Interested in starting a bathroom\u00a0remodeling project?\u00a0Contact <a href=\"http:\/\/medinaexteriors.com\/remodeling-experts\/\">Medina Exteriors<\/a>\u00a0today, (330)591-4040<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bathroom Remodeling | Lighting Your Bathroom Properly Bathroom Remodeling |\u00a0Perhaps you\u2019ve noticed the lighting in your bathroom lately isn\u2019t quite [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4316,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1021,1022,1024],"tags":[1023],"class_list":["post-4312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bathroom-remodel","category-bathroom-remodel-trends","category-bathroom-remodeling","tag-bathroom-remodeling"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.8 (Yoast SEO v27.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Bathroom Remodeling | Lighting Your Bathroom Properly<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Bathroom Remodeling | Medina Exteriors and Remodeling - 4029 Jefferson St, Medina, OH | Have questions?
