Complete your new
bathroom with the right lighting
Your bathroom is your sanctuary. You bathe, you primp and you can even play in this room. Why not make it as comfortable and enjoyable as possible? By changing a few elements, you can transform your old bathroom from boring to bright in just a few simple steps.
It is light
Any bathroom without great lighting is like Johnny Cash without his guitar. Well, maybe not exactly. Of course home lighting is a necessary design element for any room, but most importantly in the bathroom.
Women apply makeup, men shave their faces and children practice their scary faces in the mirror. Without the right lighting, you can end up looking like a clown, losing your beard or even scaring yourself. Many bathrooms have lights installed above mirrors or vanities to illuminate the room to provide maximum efficiency. That way, you can see what you're doing without the shadows or glare provided by a bright overhead light fixture.
For bath-lovers, consider installing a dimmer light switch. That way, you can dim the lights, light a few candles, and soak in the bubbles without the harsh glare overhead. Additionally, the dimmer can double as a gentle night light for late-night trips to the bathroom or to help keep monsters at bay.

Shower in style
Standard homes usually include a boring, white stall shower. Why not upgrade and install a luxury shower with Jacuzzi jets? That way, you can unwind after a long day at work, or the kids can enjoy their new bath toy in style. If that seems like too much of an undertaking, consider installing a new showerhead instead. New, detachable showerheads can be fun even for kids. Some shower sets are even equipped with an anti-scalding mechanism, so when the toilet flushes, you will no longer shiver from the fear of hot water.
Towels provided
One of the worst feelings in the world is stepping out of your shower to face a rush of cold, crisp air. Be sure to install towel racks nearby so you can reach them from within the steamy confines of your shower or tub. To add a decorative flair, install towel bars of varying lengths on your walls to store extra guest towels.

Multitasking has become a way of life these days. We're always trying to get two things done at once - and in a hurry. Consider installing a second sink basin in your bathroom. Now everyone can brush their teeth at once, or you can put on mascara while he shaves.
For faucet fixtures, choose between single or double faucets. Often, double-handled faucets are fun for kids and help prevent accidental burns while brushing teeth or washing hands.
Include requirements
Now that you have the main design elements of your bathroom, it's time to outfit your new haven with the essentials. Toothpaste, bath towels, paper towels, toilet paper, bars and liquid soap are essential to purchase, so are their containers. Ceramic or stone soap dishes and soap pumps add style and elegance to any bathroom. For a child's bathroom, let the kids choose or decorate their own fixtures; It's a fun, hands-on project that will last for years—until it accidentally breaks.

Be eco-friendly
More and more homes are implementing more green, eco-friendly aspects to their homes, and you should too. Many gallons of water are wasted in toilets, showers and sinks. Consider installing a low-flush toilet to reduce the amount of water used. Also, replace your shower set with a low-flow showerhead. These items will pay for themselves with the money you save on your next water bill.
Maintain it
As with many things in life, maintenance is important. Now that you've designed your dream bathroom, don't let it all go to waste. Be sure to rinse your fixtures thoroughly to prevent soft, stained tiles and soap build-up, especially around sinks and tub edges.

FAQ
What kind of lighting should a bathroom have?
For the most accurate color choose bulbs or LED fixtures that emit bright white light with a high CRI (around 90-100). Bulbs in the 'soft white' range of 2700K - 3000K are recommended for general bathroom use and especially for makeup application.
Is LED lighting good in a bathroom?
According to the US Department of Energy, LED light bulbs can last up to 25,000 hours, significantly outlasting traditional light bulbs. Therefore, LED light bulbs are one of the best bathroom fixture bulbs as they are energy-efficient and less prone to overheating.
How bright should my bathroom lighting be?
The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Lighting Handbook recommends 20 to 50 lumens (a measure of light output) per square foot in bathrooms.
