Ways To Brighten Up A Bathroom
You don’t have to endure a whole bathroom remodel to enjoy a fresh look. If your bathroom feels dull and dingy, there are a number of things you can do in a day or a weekend to really perk things up.
Using some innovative ideas can freshen up the look of your bathroom and that too in a very economical way. With a little change in the placement of things, lighting, color, and other accessories you can bring in a lot of difference in the feel and look of a place.
Below are some ideas on how to give your bathroom a more beautiful and a comfortable feel. You can achieve this very easily with little changes made in the lighting scheme.
You should have enough lighting in the bathroom. You can change a 3-light fixture with a 5 or 7-light fixture. You can add recessed lighting in your bathroom. Adding higher watt bulbs is another way to increase the level of light.
If there’s just no solution with the fixture you have, replace it with one that allows for more light. This is a good opportunity to choose one that enhances your decorating theme and fits the style of your bathroom. You might get a fresh look and more light by simply replacing the glass globes from frosted to clear.
Adding dimmer switches to the lighting fixtures is a great idea. You can control the intensity of light as per your needs. Using these dimmer switches you can create ant kind of environment like you can reduce the intensity of lights for a more relaxed and comforting feel. You will also save energy with dimmer switches.
If your bathroom doesn’t already have them, consider installing a pair of wall sconces on either side of the mirror. The fixture should be installed so the light bulbs are just about eye level. Be sure there is electrical power near your installation point before you start drilling into the wall. You might need to consult a licensed electrician about this addition.
Another creative idea is to place a small table lamp in your bathroom vanity if it has enough counter top space. An electrical outlet is also a must. But keep it away from any water source so as to avoid accidents. This can look really beautiful and you can use it as a night light.

dimmer switches are a lovely addon to any bathroom, when u just want to lie down in the warmth of a bath its always a great feeling when the lights are dimmed to help u relax… just an annoyance when the kids think it funny to play with it because the switch is on the outside of the bathroom door. pests :)
