We seldom worry about bathroom lights in the summer. It's bright when we  wake up and  daylight when we go to  sleep but suddenly the clocks  change in late October and  you are plunged  into months of  plug in lighting so its the  ideal opportunity to review  the way  we light up your life  through the winter  months.

The trick is to  draw out the uses of every  space in your  abode and then  create the  illuminations around those uses. In the kitchen the open preparation areas obviously   demand to be well lit so that you can see what you're  making while the actual place  you consume your  meals  demands a more measured  and mellow  atmosphere.

Now showers have issues all of their own. Primarily there are legal and safety  matters where the right  local authority regulations  and fittings have to be observed.

Treat the bathroom as zonal that is  set up the room up into sections and identify  the  nicest lighting solution for each area. A dim glimmer may promote great  calm in the bath but shaving demands  lighting accuracy and the application  of make up needs a softer  but  both sides illumination.
