Bathroom Lighting: Types and Uses

The Light House loves to sell bathroom lighting to Maryland homeowners and builders. So in this blog, we're going to give you a rundown of the different types of bathroom lighting and how they can help accent your bathroom.

Task lighting is a type of bathroom lighting that is at eye level as you are looking into the mirror. This type of bathroom lighting is great for make-up application and for doing your hair because it helps to eliminate shadows and it will help you see your reflection in the mirror better. 

Vanity lighting is just what it sounds like. It is bathroom lighting that runs across the entire length of your bathroom's vanity. This is a great way to illuminate the entire vanity surface so you can see everything that is on it. If you are not worried about shadows, this is a great bathroom lighting option. 

There is a wide variety of decorative lighting, but usually this kind of bathroom lighting comes in the form of an overhead light. This will light up your entire bathroom (or, at least, a large section of it). This is great for taking a shower or bath because you just need to flip one switch to be able to see your entire bathroom. There is no need to fuss with a smaller light.

The Light House offers these kinds of bathroom lighting and more. We even offer package discounts to new home builders! This way, everyone can select the best kind of bathroom lighting to suit their needs. Most people will need some form of decorative or overhead lighting in their bathroom, and vanity and task lighting are great ways to light up smaller spaces.

So for more information on bathroom lighting in Maryland, call The Light House at 302-239-8290, browse our Online Store or Contact Us.

Moving to Wilmington DE: Lighting Updates

Have you moved to Wilmington DE recently? If so, welcome! We hope you enjoy everything Wilmington DE has to offer. There's a lot that goes into a move. Once you have all your belongings relocated to your new home and unpacked, you may finally have a chance to take a look at what needs updated. One of the things that may end up on your list is lighting. Wilmington DE is a beautiful place to live- if you can see it! When you're ready to get some new lighting, stop by our center. Today, we're going to cover some tips for upgrading your lighting situation.

Assess Your Current Lighting Situation

The first step in determining what lighting upgrades will be necessary, is assessing your current lighting situation. You may find some obvious needs for lighting upgrades. On the other hand, you may find some lighting that you like and would prefer to keep. Focus on major indoor and outdoor lighting needs to get started.

Lighting Priorities

Once you have completed your assessment and determined which lighting you would like to upgrade, it's time to prioritize that list. If your kitchen is poorly lit, any decorative lighting may be able to wait. Have a clear idea of what type of lighting you're looking for when you stop by our center near Wilmington DE.

Buy New Lighting at The Light House

At this point, you're well on your way to a lighting upgrade! The final step is stopping by The Light House to purchase your desired lighting fixtures.

Lighting Creates Elegance and Functionality

Looking to give your home a new look? Have you considered just changing around your lighting? With the right lighting, you can improve the appearance and flow of your home, and provide something that looks amazing, but allows you to be able to do what you need to. In a recent article discussing Delaware lighting, it was noted that:

You should incorporate all three types of lighting into your plan. Ambient, task and accent lighting all work together to enhance the beauty and functionality of your home.

Ambient lighting provides the general lighting that allows you to navigate your way around an area. Task lighting makes it easier to complete projects and other household work, while accent lighting adds visual interest and elegance to a space.

Apart, the three work fine. Together, however, they add new depth and dimensions that you did not know were present in the space.

A Few Indoor Lighting Tips

Indoor lighting may serve a simple purpose at its core - to illuminate a certain area when outdoor lighting is not sufficient - but it also can serve a secondary purpose, which is to put the focus on a certain item in the room, such as a chair, or a painting that is hung on the wall. It can also hang above an often-used area of a room, such as the sink or the countertop, and not only light that area for productivity, but also for dramatic effect.

Here are a few other tips for lighting your indoor areas.

Lighting the living room. A neat effect that some like to add to their living rooms is to have a dim, hanging light placed above each available seat. This puts the focus on the living room as a place people can sit down and talk, and also adds some aid for those who want to read.

Illuminating the kitchen. Low-lighting works really well in areas above the sink, as well as underneath cabinets. You can even add some lighting to the interiors of cabinets, as well.

Brightening the bathroom. There are two types of lighting that interior designers recommend for bathrooms. Around a bathroom mirror, sconces are great lighting choices, as they give you a good look at yourself during your morning routine when putting makeup on or brushing your teeth. An overhead light can help light up the rest of the bathroom, which is important for cleaning.

For 25 years, The Light House has been helping homeowners in Delaware find the DE lighting that's right for their home. Visit our retail location, or get in touch with us today at (302) 239-8290.
