Lighting
Let the staff at Bay Plumbing Supply open your eyes to the different ways you can illuminate the many rooms of your home. When you are choosing your fixtures keep in mind the three layers of light that you will want to incorporate. Ambient, task, and accent lighting are the three components that work together to add functional light as well as drama to your room.
Ambient is the main lighting that illuminates the room. Examples of this are can-lights, chandeliers, pendants or ceiling mounted fixtures.
Task lighting is placed in the main areas where you will be performing specific tasks. Placing wall sconces on either side of the vanity mirror will cast an even light for putting on makeup or shaving. Only having lights above in these areas will cast shadows and will be unflattering to the user.
Accent lighting is placed in areas that will add drama or set the mood. This can be something as simple as candles strategically placed to cast soft soothing light for relaxing in the tub. Spot lights in a niche in a wall or shower can highlight architectural details to add interest.
The helpful staff at Bay Plumbing Supply can show you how you can coordinate lighting to the style of your bathroom. Many accessory manufacturers have lights that match their towel bars and other accessories.
