Learn the keys to achieving optimal lighting in your bathrooms. Whether you have to illuminate one of their ovaries, you must be aware of all the solutions you have. Guarantee the safety of your family or your clients and get the lighting that this room requires.
Security
This is the key aspect of your bathroom. We recommend that you do not get carried away by the prices and look for quality luminaires. Products that comply with regulations and give you certain guarantees.
You must ensure that the luminaires that are positioned near the shower or sink have an appropriate IP for that area. The protection index of the luminaires must consider them resistant to humidity and water vapor. Practical and versatile products as well as decorative. Whether they are LED strips, spotlights or wall lamps… they will be exposed to difficulties such as humidity.
Cold light and warm light
Combine it! We propose that you produce different effects in the same environment. For example, in the sink area, near the mirrors, you will need a greater flow of light, therefore a white or cold light is more appropriate. From 4000 degrees Kelvin.
On the other hand, in places like the shower, you will not need this clarity. The warmth will give you peace and tranquility that you need when showering.
Take advantage of natural light
If you are lucky enough to have a bathroom with windows to the outside, we recommend that you take advantage of the light that comes in. That window of natural light will always be your best ally and it can also be the perfect excuse to place a plant that gives life to the environment.
Achieve homogeneous and functional lighting by combining general light with spot light.
Hidden lights
We are used to having direct lighting, but it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, indirect lighting is very useful. You can place it, for example, hidden between the mirror and the wall. In this way you will create a play of lights and shadows, something very original.
Recessed ceiling luminaires
Probably the most popular option in bathrooms. The most widespread luminaires in this area of the house. Recessed LED downlights
in the false ceilings.
Why are they the most widespread luminaires? The answer is simple, more security. Much more resistance to humidity or water vapor.
The mirror
One of the elements that are not missing in a bathroom. The essential. We use it for a large number of functions such as shaving, putting on makeup, combing hair… all of them require a certain precision and correct lighting.
In places like this, a minimum of 350 Luxes is recommended. A shadowless light that faithfully reproduces colors and allows tasks to be carried out correctly.
Mirrors have the property of amplifying the light that is projected on them. One of the latest innovations are mirrors that already have their own light integrated.
The most curious options
- Standing light:an entrance in a bathroom, with a standing light. Something unusual that will provide a feeling of warmth and receptivity.
- Old-fashioned: the bathroom also deserves to be decorated with style. We never stop giving up those classic and decorative wall sconces.
- Sinks that shine with their own light: there are sink models that will surprise you and they have their own lighting.
You already know how to distinguish the different areas and the light you need in each part of your bathroom. You just have to decide which luminaires are more your style. Contact us for any type of advice.
