A beautiful and practical bathroom doesn't have to be the size of a mansion and doesn't require a marble top bathroom vanity cabinet or an expensive tub surround. Your more practical hard working materials like high quality like high quality plastic laminate or standard ceramic tile will benefit you in the long run staying with standard fittings and fixtures and awarding the extra special effects such as special colors and fancy special order finishes. Instead of the whirlpool tub your habits may just be a shower in the morning. Having a basic shower that may be separate of the rest of the room and using a glass enclosure will save some space and will look great. Storage is always a special challenge in small spaces. The choice of a small modest bathroom vanity unit with a small bathroom vanity sink is a great decor idea for the bathroom. Building storage nooks between the wall studs can save a great amount of interior bathroom space. The options of installing shelving will give you a handy spot for all your extra towels and grooming necessities. Adding nice color liners will add extra accents to the bathroom.

Dcor ideas of Bathroom lighting

A good illumination in your bathroom, which is having proper lighting, is where you should start. Bathroom vanity light will give you the mood and enhance the feeling of the bathroom. In all but the smallest bathrooms there is a variety of artificial light with different sources to choose from.

Ambient lighting - should illuminate the general lighting of the room. The recessed fixtures are a great choice. Installing them by the shower, tub, toilet compartment or dressing room will give the proper mood and lighting for that area of the bathroom.

Task lighting - to look good in the mirror this light will help in your grooming. The light will radiate from the middle of your bathroom vanity mirror. Avoid lighting from above as that will create shadows.

Accent lighting - this lighting can be added for a dramatic and decorative touch but is not necessary in the bathroom vanity. In general when you are choosing the right bulbs you will have to experiment. Bulbs give off heat. Choosing the right bulb will keep you cool with enough light to see properly in the morning.

Natural lighting for the bathroom

A small bathroom is usually dark if the only outside wall you have is within the shower. Create a small row of casement windows either above your shoulder or close to the ceiling that way you will have a view. Roof windows, light shafts, skylights along with glass blocks are a great light reflecting architecture. On any bathroom it is very important to have as much natural light that you can. If space is very small, the task lighting in the bath vanity mirror will double the illumination of the entire room. If placed on either side of the vanity mirror you will have a great glare free lighting that will make you and the rest of the room's dcor look brilliant.
