Bathroom Light Fixtures, Mirrors, Storage

You may be designing, building or renovating a bathroom and have begun looking at bathroom light fixtures, storage options, traditional or contemporary ceiling fans, mirrors and more. A high-use area of any home or business, the bathroom is best given ample attention. Consider the following options:

Plan the bathroom light. Fixtures can be located on the wall, ceiling, can be track lighting or even a quaint lamp on the bathroom countertop, but the overall concept to remember is that general lighting is typically not enough. In addition to light that showers the room, you will want task lighting, preferably the type that can be adjusted, aimed, and dimmed or brightened. Angled light will help you avoid shadows.

Add the illusion of space with a mirror or two. Having these reflective planes in a bathroom adds more than a place to see apply make-up or shave. Bathrooms add openness to a typically small room and when they act as doors on a cabinet, they add storage space. Think outside the box when it comes to mirrors. You don’t have to place them where they “usually” go. They should be placed where they best serve your design and functionality objectives.

Consider storage with shelves, cabinets and baskets. Wicker baskets are one option for storing everything from rolled up towels to soaps and candles, but you can find other container options that mesh well with your design. Shelving can be mounted in corners or can be simply the storage space beneath a bathroom vanity or cabinet.

Contemporary Ceiling Fans, Ventilation Fans

In addition to lighting, mirrors and storage, you will need moisture management. If the bathroom space is large enough, you can install contemporary ceiling fans, but most bathrooms will use ventilation fans for removing moisture. Even if a room has windows that can be opened, this should not be considered a viable means of protecting the bathroom from moisture damage and the issues that can develop when there is simply too much moisture, such as mold and mildew. Ventilation fans should be selected according to the cubic feet of air moved in a minute (CFM). Multiply the length, width and height of a room. This is the cubic feet. Divide this number by 7 or 8. This will give you the approximate CFM you will need in your ventilation fan.
