Proper Bathroom Lighting
Most bathrooms do not have enough lighting for me. As I get older I need more light to make sure that my makeup is applied correctly and my clothes are straight and ironed. In updating your bathroom please take time to consider the effects of proper bathroom lighting.
One of my favorite styles I am seeing in bathrooms is the addition of sconces. The gentle light cast from the sides helps to fill in the light where other bathroom lighting is lacking. Recessed lighting is fine for overall illumination and is certainly needed as part of your lighting package. Pendant lights are another great feature and add some art and style to your bathroom decor. Make sure that you pay attention to the finishes on all of your fixtures since mixing chrome, stainless steel and oil rubbed bronze might not look very finished or high end.
Pendant lights can be hung a different levels, make sure and measure the correct height for placement so that it is not shining in your eyes but is beneficial for your overall effect. I have some pendant lights that it is easy to change out the globe should I ever want to change the color scheme in my master bathroom. Which I think is coming soon. I change up my bathroom decor every couple of years. It keeps everything fresh looking without breaking my budget.
My decorative mirrors are mounted on the wall making change out easy. I use to have the large one piece mirror and that was ok, I did update the mirror to a more sophisticated look by gluing some framing around it to make it look a little more like a high end bathroom instead of a builder grade install. It was simple to do, I just went to my local hardware store and picked out the molding, cut it to size, painted it, and attached it with a glue. Check with your local store to get the correct glue for attaching wood to a mirror.
