Bathing
Your
Bathroom in Light
More spacious and multifunctional
than ever before, the once utilitarian bathroom has
evolved into a private retreat for relaxation, escape
and self-indulgence. The right lighting can make a
bathroom much more gracious. Whether built new or
recently remodeled, bathrooms today demand intricate
lighting solutions. Task lighting must he bright enough
to do its job, but also work well with indirect accent
lighting to soften the room's ambience and provide
a warm glow. Decorative and ornate light fixtures
and lamps provide an unexpected touch of serendipity,
Shower lights brighten up enclosed stalls. Reading
lamps by the toilet provide more focused light.
Lighting
the small Mirror/Powder Room
Good lighting for daily grooming tasks is a bathroom
must. Decorative wall fixtures placed on each side
of a small mirror will provide the even, shadow-free
facial illumination necessary. For best results, mount
fixtures at least 28" apart and 60" off
the floor.

A strip of horizontal vanity
lights equipped with tiny halogen bulbs will ensure
that each person using a double-sink vanity has sufficient
light. Mount the strip 78" off the floor.
