Great Ways to Transform Your Bathroom Space

• Cabinet Lighting: By adding lights under your cabinets it will help you see items on your countertops with clarity and ease, it can also highlight the colors in your countertops and cabinets.  By adding lighting below the bottom cabinets you can illuminate the walkway at night.
• Mirror and Vanity Lighting: Let's face it, great vanity lighting is essential for optimal facial reflection in the mirror.  You need this! Also do not forget good vanity lighting can reduce the amount of shadows in your bathroom giving the appearance of a larger room.
• Ceiling Fixture: Ceiling light fixtures can be the personal touch that ties the entire room together.  It provides more light, adds the extra element of sophistication, and makes the room appear larger.  
• Shower:  The addition of a shower light adds to your ability to illuminate the shower when you are showering, and allows you to shut off other lights in the bathroom to save energy.  
• Bathtub: Like a shower light, the bathtub light allows you to specifically illuminate an area for ease of use.  This is a great place to put a dimmer. Having a dimmer over the bathtub allows you to create the relaxing mood you desire while sinking into that warm bubble bath.   
• Canned Lighting: If you do not have high ceilings, but would like over head lighting, canned lighting is a great alternative.  You can place these lights in strategic parts of the room for a more intimate ambiance or a more open space.
• Toilet:  Focused halogen or flood lights are a great idea over a toilet especially if you have small children or the toilet is separated by a wall or door. You can also switch the dimmer on at night so your children can find the toilet easier.
• Accent Lighting: Accent lighting is a great way to highlight artwork or architecture.  Use accent lighting to draw your attention to what you enjoy most about the room.
• Indirect Lighting: Use hidden lights to add a soft and soothing touch to the room.  Add indirect lighting to coves or nooks to illuminate your room with artistic elegance.
