Bathroom & Kitchen Lighting

• Overhead lighting above a mirror may seem like a good idea, but it can cast shadows. Instead, consider installing vertical sconces on either side of the mirror for even, shadow-free illumination.
• Ceiling-mounted fixtures or recessed lights work wonders to create a well-lit environment without overpowering the room.
• Under-cabinet lighting or LED strips behind a mirror can elevate the space by giving it a spa-like feel.
• A dimmer switch allows you to adjust lighting to suit your needs. Bright lighting for mornings and soft lighting for evening relaxation!

Kitchen lighting solutions

The kitchen is the heart of the home where meals are prepared, conversations are shared, and memories are made. With so much happening, the lighting should be as dynamic as the space itself. Here are some ways we can do that:

• Task lighting such as undercabinet lights and pendant lights illuminate work surfaces directly without shadows.
• Recessed lighting or a central ceiling fixture provides the overall illumination needed to make the kitchen welcoming and functional.
• Kitchens benefit from accent lighting to highlight features like glass cabinets, shelving, or architectural details.
• Chandeliers or oversized pendant lights can serve as focal points to bring personality and flair to the space.

Choosing the right bulbs and fixtures

Selecting the right fixtures is important, but an overlooked aspect of choosing lights is the bulbs. Here are some tips to consider when shopping for your bulbs:

• Brightness: Look for bulbs with a higher lumen count for task-heavy areas. Dimmable bulbs are ideal for spaces where you want adjustable brightness.
• Color Temperature: A temperature of 2700K to 3000K creates a warm glow, while 3500K to 4100K provides neutral lighting that’s closer to daylight – perfect for tasks.

As for fixtures, opt for bathroom fixtures rated for damp or wet environments to prevent moisture damage. In kitchens, select easy-to-clean materials to combat grease and grime buildup.
