Tips and Advice

LIGHT IN THE BATHROOM

In hardly any other room are the lighting requirements greater than in the bathroom. Depending on the time of day and the mood, different lighting is required: cool light in the morning to wake up and a warm light in the evening to relax. An expert’s tip : small bathrooms look a lot bigger if the lighting is right.

General lighting

Depending on the darkness of your bathroom wall tiles, you will need varying brightness to provide basic lighting. When using wall and ceiling lights, you need to pay special attention to the presence of shadows.  Also, indirect lighting, using spotlights, can help create a pleasant atmosphere.

Mirror lighting

The lighting of the bathroom mirror is particularly important. The light should be glare-free, shadow-free and even. This is achieved with fixtures specially designed for mirrors, as well as strategically positioned wall lights.

Lighting in humid conditions

Humidity and electricity are present in the bathroom. It is therefore essential to comply with special regulations regarding the safety of the lighting system. For lights in the immediate vicinity of the bath and shower there are special moisture-insulated fixtures, with protection that conforms to IP classifications, as defined by law and regulations.
