THE GLOW
Most bathrooms have lights that only serve to light the way, and that is great if you only care about utility. However, if you see your bathroom space as a canvas for your aesthetic choices, let lighting be your first paintbrush.
CHANGE THE BULB
This is the smallest and easiest change, but also the most significant when you flip the switch. If your house is more than a decade old, chances are you are still basking in the clinical glow of a fluorescent bulb. Switch them out for modern LEDs which are significantly more energy-efficient. Get ones in the natural sunlight spectrum as they work wonders in lifting the atmosphere and ridding the clinical feel of your bathroom.
DECORATIVE LIGHT FIXTURES
From wall sconces to mirror lights, there are plenty of opportunities for well-designed fixtures to influence the look of your bathroom. Extravagant, vintage, industrial - or how about a little rustic? No matter the aesthetic choices, these small focal points are sure to both complement and define the look you are trying to achieve.
THE FLOW
One might ask: how can faucets and mundane bathroom accessories ever be décor? To this we say: consider the stylish collections from brands like GROHE, Duravit, Axor, Hansgrohe and so on, one can start to see the aesthetic value that once utilitarian plumbing fixtures can bring to the bathroom.
