The humble bathroom. Often one of the first and last rooms you will visit in a day, the bathroom is one of the key rooms in your home. It’s the room you go to kick start the day with a warming shower and in the evening you may relax there with a bubble bath. On a more practical level, you may also use the bathroom to brush your teeth, shave, or take your makeup off.
Once upon a time, bathroom lighting was fairly uninspiring, catering to the practicalities of bathroom lighting while sacrificing style for the wet environment, but we are now thankfully in an era where light fittings for the bathroom are modern, stylish and even glamourous!
