As average bath square footage continually increases to accommodate a more spa-like experience in the home, lighting needs in this space are also changing. No longer can a single, centrally mounted ceiling fixture or over-the-mirror bar light sufficiently illuminate this high functioning area.
Contemporary bathroom lighting plans have become much more comprehensive in the last decade. New construction and bath remodels are employing a triple layer approach.
Most current plans begin with ambient light. This light layer provides the base and acts to generally illuminate your bath space. It is typically turned on by the first entry switch in the bath.
Because ambient light cannot provide sufficient illumination for vanity areas, task lighting is added. Modern bathroom fixtures come in an extensive array of types and styles, and should be selected with care to ensure that your vanity area is lit in a manner to avoid shadow casting.
The third type of illumination which is commonly designed into contemporary bath areas is accent lighting. Many custom tiled showers, glass basins and ceramic vessels are works of art in today's bath, and are being treated as such with beautiful accent light.
