Good bathroom lighting can transform a space into a very stylish environment and it must also be sufficiently bright for decorative and functional needs.
The brightness in the bathroom should ensure maximum safety while moving, it must be of high intensity during shaving or putting on make-up but it should also be able to create a warming and suggestive atmosphere with amazing visual light effects at the same time.
But is it possible to have all this in a lighting project for the bathroom? The answer is ‘yes’, and today we will reveal the secrets of how to set up top-notch environments, such as those on the covers of the most prestigious furniture magazines that so often make us dream.
Bathroom lighting project: scattered and direct light
The first step in arranging a functional bathroom lighting is certainly to fix light sources that provide scattered brightness and can illuminate the whole room. Necessarily for safety reasons, scattered light is generally obtained by the installation of bathroom ceiling lights, placed in the centre of the room. Often people tend to prefer ceiling lights to the more traditional pendant lights because the pendant light can produce unsightly shadows.
If you manage to direct the luminous flux of the central chandelier towards the mirror, you could already have a first important result in terms of style too: the light, in fact, reflecting on the mirror surface, will give a visual perception of a larger environment adding a touch of style even to the smallest bathroom.
The mirror is precisely the starting point from which the bathroom lighting project should be developed if you wish to create an environment with a unique design.
Positioned above the washbasin, the mirror is certainly positioned in the area where it is necessary to have the most brightness, as it is right in front of this reflective glass that you carry out our daily actions.
Consequently, lighting systems are prepared for providing direct light, with modern LED light bulbs with a minimalist design to be placed exactly above the mirror or elegant and stylish sconces to be positioned on both sides. To improve the visual perception, the walls also play an important role: a glossy tiling will help to have a greater reflection of the light.
In general, we can say that a wise distribution between scattered and direct light allows you to create wonderful light effects in the bathroom which will surely create a suggestive and unique atmosphere.
