Things To Keep In Mind While Buying Bathroom Wall Lights

The wall paint, the tiles on the floor/wall and the lights you choose should complement one another
The lighting in the bathroom should be evenly distributed, that is, neither too less nor too much in a particular area
Try to incorporate layered lighting in your bathroom by using a combination of task, accent and ambient lighting rather than just choosing one of them
When looking for the right bathroom wall lights, consider the window position, the amount of natural light it receives, the number of times you use the space in a day and so on to filter your choices. Try to maximise the natural sunlight as much as possible to create a diffused and soft feel
Create your bathroom blueprint on paper wherein the entire layout and the dimensions of each element (shower, bath, basin, door, etc.) are clearly laid out along with the lighting plan (in consultation with an electrician) to get the most out of your bathroom lighting project
To check out how much bulb wattage (brightness) is required in your bathroom, simply measure the space in metres squared and multiply it by 25. It’s that simple
Prefer going in for white lights — cool white or warm white — when choosing modern LED bulbs for the bathroom. Consider the light output and dimmability factor as well
