<h2 style="margin: 10pt 0in 0pt"><font size="3" color="#990000">Improve the Lighting in Your Bathroom</font></h2><p><span style="line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt; font-size: 10pt">Lighting is important no matter what room you are in, including the bathroom. There are several ways to incorporate lighting in the bathroom. Every type of lighting that you add to the bathroom has a specific task to do. It may be lighting for applying your makeup, a manicure, shaving, or other reasons.</span></p><span style="line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt; font-size: 10pt"><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Most bathrooms have a light overhead that is attached to the ceiling and shines down. Some bathrooms also have lighting around the sink area because this is where people shave and put on makeup the most. However, there is a way that you can customize the lighting in your bathroom.<br /><br />Here are a few tips that can help you when you want to change the lighting.</p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><strong>Around the Sink</strong></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">You can add lighting around the sink by placing a light above the mirror or one on each side of the mirror. This will give you enough lighting to do the simple tasks you have to do in the mornings to get ready for work or school. This lighting is usually installed in almost every bathroom but if it’s not in yours, then add it. </p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">There are different types of bulbs that you can get for these lights around the mirror. Florescent or halogen lights are the most common of the two. You need to decide which lighting you can see better with. Some have trouble seeing clearly with florescent. </p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><strong>Recessed</strong></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">If your bathroom is large enough you may want to place a makeup table in your bathroom. Recessed lighting above the makeup table is a great way to get enough lighting while you are putting on your makeup. The recessed lighting can be installed by a professional or by you if you feel confident in your ability to install lighting. </p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> </p><div style="text-align: center"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="425" height="282"><param name="movie" value="../images/banners/3a.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="" /><embed src="../images/banners/3a.swf" wmode="" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="282"></embed></object></div><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><br />Studio lighting is also popular in bathrooms. This lighting is installed on the ceiling and can be adjusted to point in a specific direction. This type of lighting usually offers three separate lights. Shine one at your bathtub, one over your makeup table and one in your dressing area. </p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Place the track lighting over your bathtub, shower stall, or Jacuzzi for more lighting while you are trying to get ready in the mornings. The lighting will make it easier to stay awake. </p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">You can purchase lighting that does not need to be installed to place in corners or on tables. This is an inexpensive way to get more lighting in the bathroom without installing a permanent light. It’s important that you do not use too many of these lights in your bathroom or your room will seem too crowded. If you need more lighting then you can get with one or two lamps, you may want to consider having the lighting installed in the ceiling. </p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><strong>Floors</strong></p> <p><span style="line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt; font-size: 10pt">Brighten up your bathroom by placing bright colored <a href="http://www.houseofarearugs.com" target="_blank">area rugs</a> on the floor. Place a different color at your bathtub, shower, or Jacuzzi. Use a bright color at your bathroom sink. You also want it to be soft like <a href="http://www.houseofarearugs.com/Cotton-Rugs-p-1-c-16.html" target="_blank">cotton rugs</a> that are in the color that you want to accessorize with.</span></p></span>
