The bathroom light that you choose for your room can have a significant impact on the feel and ambience of the bathroom, picking the right lamp for the type of bathroom you have is vitally important.

A question you may want to ask yourself is “How do I use my bathroom?” This may seem a peculiar question at first but consider these two different people. home fashionschange all the time and what is must have now is passe in a couple of years.

Bob is a computer analyst, he works in a fast moving modern environment and loves all things modern. He lives alone, works long hours and in the morning he gets up, has a quick shower and he is off to work.

Angela is a mother of three small children, she rises in the morning, cooks breakfast for her family, makes the kids packed lunch, checks the homework and walks the young ones to school. She does not get into the bathroom before ten o’clock and when yshe does she wants half an hour to herself.

You will see that these two (imaginery) people use their bathrooms in very different ways. The bathroom light required by each of them will not be the same.

Bob is busy, busy, busy and will not spend time in the bathroom so a bright functional light that is easy to clean will probably be his choice.

Angela views her bathroom as a place to relax, take time for herself before the next round of motherhood starts. She will probably like a softer lighting scheme, perhaps recessed downlights with a dimmer switch so she can adjust the lighting to suit her mood.

Fortunately there is lots and lots of choice when it comes to your bathroom light. For a bright utility type of light that will illuminate a bathroom completely you may want to go for a ceiling light, these come in a variety of styles and colours and if you pick a flush mounted one they will not hang down taking up space and collecting dust.

If you want to create a relaxing ambience downlights are an option, they can be recessed or surface mounted and many are dimmable so the light level can be adjusted from glaringly bright to softly romantic.
