Are you suffering from bathroom blues? Are you feeling a little bit dim and cold in your bathroom? It may be time for a bathroom makeover.
Perhaps your bathroom is too bright and you need to dim the lighting. It is also important to ensure that your bathroom is warm, cosy, and secure at all times.
This article will give you some ideas to help you design your bathroom.
- Let there be light
- Heat the bathroom
- Radiators
- Underfloor heating
Let there be light
Bathroom lighting should have a balance between practicality, mood and functionality. Ambient lighting should not be too dark for you to properly shave.
However, you don't want your bathroom to be too brightly lit. It is important to direct light to the right areas.
You could also add lights to your bathroom mirror so you can see your face while you do your mascara. The mirror's light will illuminate your face so you won't be blinded by shadows.
You could also lighten the rest of your bathroom with recessed or frosted lights. This will create a muted effect. Diffuse lighting is more relaxing than ordinary bulbs.
Heat the bathroom
Two main options are available to heat your bathroom. These are radiators and electric underfloor heating.
Radiators
Radiators don’t have to look ugly. Designer radiators can add style and warmth to your bathroom. These radiators are an elegant and modern way to heat your bathroom. Vertical radiators are a good option if space is limited.
Underfloor heating
The underfloor heating keeps your bathroom warm and will keep you warm when you get out of the bath in the winter. Because it uses less energy and keeps the room warm, it can be more affordable than radiators.
It is safe to burn yourself as the temperature is constant.
Make sure you adhere to safety regulations when installing lighting or heating in your bathroom. Electricity and water are not best friends. You will get more heat and lighting if they meet.
