The choice of lighting in the bathroom according to the style of the interior
Having decided on the technical characteristics, you can go to the choice of sconces in appearance. They should match the style of the bathroom. If you like lamps in the classic Italian style, then you need to place them in the bathroom in a comprehensive manner..
All luminaires must be of the same style. A large ceiling lamp is suspended in the center of the room, and sconces are already being matched to it. Additionally, you can use several point light sources, decorated with a corresponding ornament.
If the bathroom is large enough, it has a window, then fresh flowers and floristic style sconces will help to refresh the room. The most interesting option is the design of the bathroom in a nautical style. Sconces in this case can be made in the form of shells, candlesticks, steering wheel and so on. It all depends on what design is chosen for the room: sandy beach, pirate ship, underwater world. There are many options – high-tech, country, Provence, and oriental motives. In terms of external design, the sconces can be any at your discretion.
Lighting selection and location
The choice of a specific model and its location can be described in sufficient detail. So some models located on brackets, spaced from the wall and with protruding parts of the plafond, are better placed under the ceiling or above the mirror. Depending on the degree of protection, the optimal distance from the bath or shower stall is selected. For wall luminaires with a flat shade that distributes light directly in front of you, this is the best option for positioning on the sides of the mirror. So that they most effectively illuminate the person’s face.
Sconces in which the main flow of light is directed up or down is better suited for backlighting, for example at night. They provide a weak, diffused light, ideal for such tasks. It is better to place them between the entrance and the sink, toilet. On the other side of the room from the bath. It is better to turn on any sconce separately from the main lighting. Moreover, for background lamps located around the room, the switch is easier to put next to the main one. It will also be practical to purchase a sconce with a built-in switch..
For sconces installed near the mirror, it is easier to put the switch there, for example, by mounting it in the lower plane of one of the shelves under the mirror.
