An excellent bathroom design should strike a balance between natural lighting and artificial lighting. It is very important to take space size, privacy concerns as well as lighting needs into account when you design and begin to install the lighting fixtures in a bathroom.

Natural lighting is eco-friendly as it saves electrical energy needed in the bathroom. If there is enough natural light in the bathroom, you will have a feel of openness and freshness even it is a small bathroom. Window and skylight provide the main source of natural light in the bathroom. Therefore, s good placement for bathroom window is very important.

Sometimes, there may not be much flexibility for the location of a bathroom window, as window placement is decided by structural concerns. However , too much window glass makes you concern about the privacy in the bathroom. A good solution is to apply frosted or mat glass to bathroom window. Or you can install a glass block window. One outstanding merit of a bathroom skylight lies in providing much more light than the same size window. There are also no privacy concerns to worry about when installing a bathroom skylight.

Artificial light complements natural light in many ways to meet the light needs in a bathroom. Bathroom lighting design involves lots of tricks. For example, harsh celing lighting makes deep shadows under the chin nose and eyes of people. Installing translucent diffusers on the lighting fixtures will help to soften the shadows somewhat. Another way to fix the problem is to place multiple light locations to spread the sharp light. Many homeowners are apt to install mirror light to provide enough light when make up. This backstage style of light consists of vertically installed light bars and frosted bulbs mounted on both side of the mirror. It is strongly recommended to add a dimmer switch to control the light level that you are aiming at.
