Selection Of Bathroom Vanity Light Fixtures

By Darren Hartley


When a homeowner thinks of changing the home light fixtures, the final room that enters his mind is the bathroom. It is only when he suddenly remembers that the bathroom is the place where he normally prepares himself for the day and where he soaks away his worries that he recognizes the practicality of selecting the right bathroom light fixtures

Searching for the right bathroom light fixtures, although it is essentially a matter of personal selection, involves a couple of things that a homeowner must always keep in mind.

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.

Having at least one general overhead light fixture is a bathroom design rule. The inclusion of a task lighting, though, placed around a mirror, does not go against this rule. For this instance, bathroom vanity lights come to mind.

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.

Lighting locations is the next consideration in the selection of bathroom light fixtures as well as bathroom vanity lights. It is normally easier to determine the placement of bathroom light fixtures once one acknowledges the various bathroom lighting tasks he desires.

Task lighting for shaving or putting on make up is a requirement for most homeowners. Therefore, placing bathroom vanity lights above or alongside the mirror becomes a must instead of a choice. For the purpose, mirror area measurement becomes a task leading to the selection of the best size and shape for bathroom vanity lights.

The homeowner should also put into consideration the color and finish of the bathroom light fixture. If the bathroom renovation does not involve the whole bathroom area, it then becomes necessary to select colors and finishes that complement the existing decorations in the bathroom.

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.

It is good for the homeowner to bear in mind that copper or bronze bathroom light fixtures go hand in hand with warm-toned yellow bathrooms. Also, chrome bathroom light fixtures blend with cool-toned blue bathrooms. Now, for brushed nickel bathroom hardware, a correspondingly brushed nickel bathroom vanity lights is the choice to go with.
