Bathroom Vanity Light Fixtures

By Darren Hartley


It is not instinctive for a homeowner to think of the bathroom as a home area that needs light fixture replacement. But once he realizes that it is the place where he begins his day and where he spends his time in the bathtub washing away his stress, it dawns on him that selecting the right bathroom light fixtures is a job that he needs to spend some time thinking about.

It is an undisputed norm that bathroom lighting design is basically a matter of personal taste. Even so, a homeowner must bear a couple of things in mind in purchasing bathroom light fixtures.

In the selection of his bathroom light fixtures, a homeowner must first consider the types of lighting available on the market. His lighting type preference is a decision he must definitely make.

The need of one general overhead light fixture is not hindered by the addition of task lightning around a mirror. Bathroom vanity lights will do the trick in such an occasion.

There may be special effects that a homeowner wants to see in his bathroom such as a spa-like environment. Knowing what effects are desired will help in the choice of the right bathroom light fixtures. For a spa-like environment, certain types of ambient lighting may be added.

The selection of bathroom light fixtures, as well as bathroom vanity lights, becomes an easy task once a homeowner realizes where he wants them placed. This placement, on the other hand, is assisted by a knowledge of the various bathroom lighting tasks a homeowner wants done in his bathroom.

The placement of bathroom vanity lights above or alongside a mirror becomes a necessity for homeowners who require task lighting for shaving in the case of men and putting on makeup in the case of women. To make sure that the size and shape chosen for bathroom vanity lights is the correct one, the measurement of the mirror area is an additional task that needs accomplishment.

Inspiration for the color and finish of the bathroom light fixtures can be extracted from currently existing bathroom decor in the case of bathroom renovation not involving the whole area.

While the bathroom vanity lights should mingle well with the bathroom hardware, the color and finish of the new bathroom light fixtures should complement the existing bathroom color scheme.

For warm-toned yellow bathrooms, copper or bronze bathroom light fixtures are the perfect choices. For cool-toned blue bathrooms, steel or chrome bathroom light fixtures are the excellent choices. A brushed nickel bathroom theme would mean brushed nickel bathroom vanity lights to carry on the theme to the bitter end.
