How to decorate and arrange the bathroom lighting? What are the requirements for bathroom lighting arrangement?

We all know that the bathroom is a very important place in the home and a key location for decoration. Many people will focus on decorating the bathroom. The decoration design of the bathroom will have many details and particularities, especially the design of the lighting. So how to design the lighting in the bathroom? Let's take a closer look!

How to design the lighting in the bathroom

Generally, bathrooms are designed with main lighting + local lighting. The main light is easier to design, and local lighting is mainly concentrated in a small area such as the dressing table and bathroom cabinet. Let’s take a look at how it is designed through some decoration design cases.

Hidden light tubes

This effect is a design that sees light but not the lamp, giving people a sense of comfort. It is a kind of ambient light. With the overall lighting of the main lamp, the light in the space will be softer. Generally, a lamp with a color temperature of 3000-3500k and a 6-8 watt lamp tube and warm yellow light is preferred.

Left and right side wall lights

Installing wall lamps on both sides of the dressing table is also the most common solution for the bathroom. Girls need to put on makeup, so the lighting brightness of the dressing table needs to be moderate and uniform. With invisible light sources above and below, adding wall lamps on both sides will make it brighter and more uniform.

Rare chandelier

Not many people use chandeliers on both sides of the mirror, but the effect is basically the same as installing wall lamps. It is also possible to use spotlights or hidden light tubes above the mirror. It depends on personal choice.

Makeup lamp

A light strip is directly wrapped around the edge of the mirror, so that our face will be evenly illuminated, and makeup will be easier and more comfortable; we usually choose 6-7 watt light strips, and there is still a choice in color temperature. If you like warm light, choose 3000-3200K, and if you like neutral light, you can consider 4000-4200K. There is no absolute standard, and it is mainly based on personal preference. I personally recommend that the color temperature of neutral light is more suitable.

When designing bathroom decoration and lighting, you must also pay attention to safety. Lamps, switches, and sockets need to be moisture-proof and waterproof, so you need to pay special attention to this.

Bathroom lighting design tips

First, basic lighting + auxiliary lighting

Generally speaking, the area of ​​the bathroom is relatively small, and the ventilation and lighting effects are not satisfactory. Therefore, when designing, in addition to the basic lighting on the top, some auxiliary lights are also needed to create an atmosphere.

For example, wall lamps and downlights can be designed according to the internal partitions of the bathroom so that every corner of the space can be illuminated, reducing the need to clean dead corners.

Second, partition

1. Washing station

The sink is where we wash our face, brush our teeth, and put on makeup every day, so we need some lighting to help us stay in good shape to face every day.

Utilize the mirror lamp design, choose soft and bright neutral light for local lighting, try to choose the shape of the lamp according to the style and space requirements, and maintain the beauty of the area.

2. Toilet area

Compared with the washing and shower areas, the toilet takes up a smaller space and can usually be illuminated with the help of the light on the top of the bathroom.

Unless you like to read when it is convenient, you can install a spotlight of appropriate wattage on the upper left or right side of the toilet to give the residents a sense of imperceptible security.

3. Shower area

Because the shower area is surrounded by mist, no additional lights are installed in the area. Similar to the toilet area, basic lighting can be used for illumination.

4. Niche

The best way to achieve high storage capacity in a small bathroom is to set up niches according to actual conditions, hollow out the walls to store items. At this time, you can add embedded lights inside the niches to make the space more layered.

What brand of lamps is good for the bathroom?

If you only care about the shape and style of the lamps and have sufficient budget, here are four brands: FLOS, Louis Poulsen, Luceplan and Moooi. The lamps of these brands can meet all your styling needs.

If you still care about the quality of light emitted by the lamp, you must first understand the parameters and design of the light (in addition to the bathroom, there are also: lighting design for the living room, study, and dining room), and then take a look at these brands: Shike, Ranzi, SAT, VF, Xidon, Xitie, OPPLE, Sanxiong Aurora, Enke Zhuguang, etc. ... Again, try to find local dealers, you can't buy good lights of these brands on Taobao.

If your home is a modern mansion, I recommend a product, Ghost Linear invisible light strip (not recommended for ordinary residences because it is too bright. If you have it in a small space, you don’t have to think about other lights)
