Black is the new Red,




Thirty is the new Twenty,




And




Bathing is no longer just a Soap & Suds zone!




 




This millennium Bathing is done in Light, Beautiful & flattering Layers of Light.




 




These days it’s common practice to want to improve the quality of your Bathroom’s luminosity; there are very few places you frequent as often daily as your Commode…




Enjoy It!




 




Take a look around your lavatory on your next visit, could your Bathroom benefit from a little makeover??!!




 




I have read the following from many different lighting sources including a kichler’s lighting tips:




 




1st LAYER, OVERALL LIGHT




 




Ceiling Fixtures – Use Mini Chandelier’s, Pendants or Bowl style lights. Traditional, Contemporary, Country, Feminine & even Masculine Styles are now available in a variety of sizes! This approach can really introduce or intensify the style and personality of your commode. 




Recessed Fixtures – For a Low-Profile approach to overall “Bathroom Finesse” consider adding some Recessed Fixtures, generally referred to as “Cans” – no pun intended! This look provides unparalleled overall light and can be designed very specifically to highlight or emphasize the uniqueness and design of your Lavatory!




(This look is generally reserved for larger sized Bathrooms.)




 




2nd LAYER, TASK LIGHT




 




Typical Vanity Lights, Sconces and the Dreaded Hollywood Bars – Your “Task Lighting” is probably the most important layer of light; this is the light you use when grooming, primping, plucking, brushing, flossing, shaving, applying make-up, styling…




You see where I’m going with this, if it has to be done in the bathroom this is the layer of light that will help you achieve the best results! This layer of light needs to be bright without blaring. This light needs to completely wash over you with a warm glow that comes from above and the sides; light that only washes down from above is less flattering that light that comes from both above and beside!




 




3rd LAYER, ACCENT LIGHT




 




Accent Lights – The “Icing on the Cake of Lighting Stylishly”! This includes Lamps, Toe-Kick Lighting, Under Cabinet Lighting or Strip Lighting. This category, Accent Lighting, has the ability to change your Bathroom into a Grande Wash Room, your John into a Stylish Dressing & Grooming Mecca! So often overlooked, this third layer of light can provide the most positive outcome with the least effort or cost. Finish with the skill of a Designer and the flair of a Socialite; incorporate a finishing touch of Accent Lighting to your Restroom.
