Among the essential things for a bathroom space is the lighting that must provide accent, convenience and safety. If you want your bathroom to become a genuine source of comfort, you will have to come up with the right lighting scheme. For instance, a well lit bathroom space will have no shadows especially when it comes to the vanity area. You can have a shadow-free vanity by installing a lighting fixture right above the vanity mirror. Keep in mind that there are plenty of reasons for you to try and avoid any shadows in your bathroom space. For one, such shadows can be extremely ugly and even destroy the way your bathroom space looks.

Also, shadows are to be eliminated in order to avoid any small accidents such as putting the make-up the wrong way or shaving cuts. The right task lighting is essential in any bathroom space mainly because background illumination is not likely to be enough for this space.

One of the most popular lighting fixtures for bathroom space is modern recessed lighting. However, such lighting tends to cast many shadows that are very likely to become inconvenient in your bathroom space. In this case, you will have to add a proper ambient lighting fixture in order to avoid any glare. Various wall sconces are to be used as well – for instance, you can have two of these installed at every end of your bathroom vanity mirror in order to eliminate all the shadows especially when you are using recessed lighting. Ambient lighting is soft and warm and you can use it in order to avoid any harsh glare and provide any bathroom area with the proper illumination. 

The shower and the vanity area will require task lighting. So, you will have to use 2 lighting fixtures for your vanity mirror – have them installed at an appropriate height on both sides of your bathroom mirror in order to avoid any play of shadows and make sure that this particular area is bright enough to allow you to move freely. Also, you can go for lighting fixtures installed around the edges of your bathroom mirror.

When it comes to your shower area, you should go for a wall or overhead pendant light fixture – each of these lighting fixtures is going to do just fine when it comes to eliminating any play of shadows. Also, you should consider the natural light that comes from your bathroom windows – consider using this light as far as possible in order to avoid any shadows.
