Lighting is often overlooked when it comes to bathroom planning. But the type of lights you choose can completely transform the room – and how you use it. Making your bathroom feel bigger and brighter, or more calming and comfortable. So, if you’re planning to revamp your bathroom this autumn, you may be interested in some of the latest lighting solutions available from First Choice Lighting.
Three Things to Remember When Selecting New Bathroom Lighting
Bathroom lights don’t need to be boring
There’s no denying that a lot of bathroom lighting is a little bit… dull. While there’s nothing wrong with domed plastic ceiling lights, they’re not hugely inspiring. Particularly when compared with the likes of the Trio and the Westchester. It’s not just the striking colourway that makes these lights stand out, but the dynamic shape, which also serves to cleverly direct the light. Bang on trend – and dimmable when used with the right bulbs – these are lights that could lift your bathroom to another level.
Bathroom lights can deliver cohesion
We’ve all come to accept a mismatched aesthetic in the bathroom. Your suite may be beautifully coordinated, but lights are frequently hodgepodge. When you take a collection like the Carmello, you have the option to harmonise your bathroom wall and ceiling lighting to create a seamless aesthetic. But it’s important to remember that you’re not limited to that single collection. If you take the shape – in this instance, those beautiful frosted glass orbs – and the colour, you can match them to similar lighting forms (such as the Bale or the Jed), to create your own personal style.
Bathroom lights should answer a range of needs
Bathrooms are generally considered to be functional spaces. But if designed well, they can also be places of complete relaxation. And your lighting should reflect that. Ceiling lights, like the Kai, are dimmable, making them multifunctional. Spotlights, like the Irwin, can be more useful for task lighting. While wall lights, like the Doge, can provide softer ambient lighting. But don’t forget that there is also the option of incorporating smart lighting. With a remote control and receiver set, working in tandem with deck or plinth lighting you can change your ambience at the touch of a button. Creating relaxing bath times, or gentle ambient lighting for those nocturnal bathroom visits.
Your bathroom is an incredibly important part of your home. With the right design, it can ease you into bed at night and wake you for work in the morning. But too often, lighting is overlooked or left as an afterthought. Leaving an opportunity to take control of the ambience – and functionality – of the room untapped. Don’t you think that you and your bathroom deserve better?
