We never  worry about bathroom lights in the summer. It's bright when we get  up and  daylight when we go to bed  but suddenly the  Autumn change in late October and  you are plunged  into months of  plug in lighting so its the  ideal opportunity to  think about the way  we light up your life  through the  cold months.

The trick is to  draw out the uses of every  space in your house  and then design  the lighting  around those uses. In the kitchen the open preparation areas obviously   demand to be well lit so that you can  viewwhat you're cooking  while the actual  table you consume your  meals  demands a more  tempered and mellow  atmosphere.

Now showers have issues all of their own. First there are  legal and safety  matters where the right building   laws and fittings have to be observed.

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