The aesthetic qualities of your bathroom lights play a huge role in making this space the perfect sanctuary to relax and rejuvenate yourself.  In illuminating your bathroom, there are three areas that you have to consider- the vanity, the shower, and the tub. By factoring these areas, you can create a well-lit and cozy space for yourself.

Lights for the vanity counter are usually mounted on the wall, either above or beside the mirror. In some instances, small pendant bathroom lighting fixtures can also be located on both sides of the mirror in lieu of wall lights. Shower lights are usually the ones that are the least fancy in terms of aesthetics since they have to be recessed to the ceiling and have to be moisture-rated to avoid any electrical issues due to water and moisture contact.

Another area that you can create an impression through lighting is by the tub. Since there’s a lesser chance that water will be splashed to the lights when you are soaking in, you can take this as an opportunity to install a gorgeous chandelier and re-create a luxurious spa experience.

Given that you will be working with three different spots in one room, it’s also important to maintain a cohesive style when choosing your bathroom lights. Here are beautiful designs, ranging from wall lights to elegant chandeliers, that you can take inspiration from.

If you have a long vanity, you can light up the entire counter space by using individual drop lights such as these transitional bathroom lights. When using multiple fixtures that hang from the ceiling, opt for a glass material to avoid overwhelming the space. Holders in metal in brushed bronze, brass, or gold finish give the overall fixture a nice and sophisticated sheen.

Create a nice contrast to an all-white shiplap wall by accessorizing it with black bathroom lights. If you have two sinks and two mirrors on your vanity counter, distribute the illumination by installing these three-light wall fixtures on top of both mirrors. The combination of metal lamp heads, lamp rod, and back plate gives it an industrial vibe while its oil-rubbed bronzed finish lends a vintage touch to the entire fixture.

Work in Multiples

Design your own lighting setup by grouping individual bathroom light fixtures into one single composition. This will give you more flexibility, especially since a lot of store-bought pieces come in modules of one, two, or three. For this vanity, they used five single industrial style wall lamps and placed them on a plank of wood to create an eye-catching focal point on the wall.

When lighting your vanity area, you have the option to install your bathroom light fixtures the other way around to achieve the effect that you are looking for. These sconces, for example, are ingeniously rotated upside down to create a cozy up-lighting effect. Choose essential shapes such as a circular plate and cylindrical glass so that it still looks intentional and your configuration doesn’t look weird or out of place.

Bathroom lights shouldn’t be confined to one area of your bathroom. By installing lights in different areas, you can create a well-lit space. Opt for pieces that have the same style and color palette to maintain an elegant and well-designed vibe. In this example, the industrial style three-piece glass wall lamp on the vanity wall matches well with the black iron candelabra on the ceiling.

Painted cabinetry is a trend that’s here to stay, and there’s good reason for it! It a world that’s been dominated by neutral kitchens that all feel a bit… well, boring, adding color is the perfect way to show off your style and personality and breathe new life into your home design. Color psychology shows (https://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/color-green.html#:~:text=The%20color%20green%20relates%20to,spring%2C%20of%20renewal%20and%20rebirth.) that green is associated with renewed energy, balance, and positivity.

Even as a more modern accent in kitchen design, green cabinets work fantastically well with any aesthetic. In a space with classic or traditional features, a lighter shade that reads as a neutral will fit beautifully in the rest of your home’s style. Contemporary or modern aesthetics pair perfectly with dark olive or a moody greenish gray that give a striking and bold look.

If dark, moody hues aren’t your first choice, you don’t have to worry. Everything from pale gray greens to shades bold emerald are possible, especially when you see what our contributors have to share below!

The Truth About Using One Flooring Type in an Entire House

The word of the decade is simplification, and that is precisely what is happening within interior design. Where walls once separated every room in our homes, we now have open floorplans that showcase unobstructed spaces and bright light. This is possible because of how contractors and designers have encouraged the selection of one flooring type to extend through the entire house. https://upgradedhome.com/should-flooring-be-the-same-throughout-the-house/ The obvious benefits include better resale value, cohesiveness, and seamless transitions, but where there are positives, there will always be negatives to consider.
We asked our interior designers to share their take on this current trend and prompted homeowners who have implemented this advice in their homes to share their experiences. The greatest takeaway is the necessity for water-resistant flooring in spaces like kitchens and bathrooms, but the overall feedback was positive, encouraging a continuation of this theme in future builds and renovations. Make sure you read on to get all the best advice for installing the same floor throughout your house.
