Decorate a Bathroom With Glam Lighting

Having the right type of lighting in a bathroom can make the difference between a drab bathroom and a romantic one. Here are some ideas for making your bathroom appear more stylish.

Try decorating with bathroom wall scones. Purchase some stylish wall scenes to create elegant, soft, sophisticated bathroom lighting. Recessed scones look the classiest. You can put them in pairs for an elegant effect. Scone lights look wonderful on either side of a mirror. They also can help illuminate darker areas in a bathroom because they look god placed near recessed areas.

Ceiling bathroom light can also add a lot to the atmosphere of a bathroom. It is nice to have your lights on a dimmer to create a romantic effect. You can add recessed pot lights to give it a contemporary look or hang the largest, glittery chandelier that you can find.

Mirror lights also make a bathroom look wonderful. They apply adequate light for sprucing yourself up in the mirror but you can also place them in spots so that they light up the objects that you own. Back-lit bathroom mirror lighting not only provides soft glamorous lighting.

A common and practical effect is to line the mirror with bulbs so that you are well lit when you are examining your face. Mirrors lined with neon are also a nice idea.

One wonderful development when it comes to bathroom lights is dimmers that you control from a long string that is attached to the light. That way you can have all the lights you need on until you actually step into the tub. You can be safe until it is time for a long soothing bath in half light. When it is over you can yank on the chain again and the light will also dim.

One of the most interesting developments in shower lights is ones that illuminate the shower streams by lighting up the shower spray with colored light. These are known as LED shower lights. These LED shower lights also serve a practical purpose. The LEDS in the shower head are blue when the light is a cool blue and when it warms up to red it means the shower water has warmed up. You can also get high-tech new age versions of this in off-beat colors like neon purple or yellow.\

In bathrooms pressed glass flat or circular shades are becoming more common and are considered to be quite retro and hip. These are flat fixtures that evenly distribute light and that are very utilitarian in appearance.
