The experts at Builders Warehouse
know that a home improvement project can become a bit overwhelming. There are a lot of choices to make and styles to pick from, but our experts can help guide you through the whole process when you're redoing your kitchen or bathroom. We can even help you pick out the perfect bathroom lighting or kitchen lighting. For some people, lighting might be a bit of an afterthought when they're undertaking a home renovation project, but we'll help you figure out which kind of lighting works best for your brand new room!
Pick Subtle Mirror Lighting
One way to help your bathroom stand out is with mirror lighting. Some new mirrors have lighting built right in, giving you the light you need to see as you get ready for the day without being overpowering.
Go Big
When it comes to kitchen lighting, sometimes going big can be the best choice. Depending on what kind of style you've decided on, oversized fixtures that provide plenty of light could help tie the whole room together.
Chandeliers Make a Statement
A classy chandelier might seem more at home in the kitchen, but it can work in a bathroom as well! The presence of a chandelier can give any room a classic and upscale look. Just make sure that you have enough room, since you don't want this one lighting fixture to dominate everything. It's also important to note that there are a variety of chandelier designs to pick from at this point, so you might be able to find one that works with the style of your bathroom or kitchen even if it wasn't your first consideration.
Go for a Spa Feel
Obviously we're talking about the bathroom here. Going for a “spa feel” and opting for more indirect lighting can class up a new bathroom. You could also consider adding dimmer switches that would allow you to choose between different kinds of lighting for different moods. Relaxing in the tub at the end of a long week? Dim the lights and escape for a while.
Choose a Nostalgic Look
If you want an old-fashioned look for your kitchen or bathroom, the right lighting choices
can make a big difference. Milky glass, for example, can neatly complement light countertops and classic wood cabinetry in a kitchen.
Keep it Clear
Clear lighting and fixtures, on the other hand, can help tie together a kitchen or bathroom that has a more modern look. Clear lighting fixtures work great with open kitchen designs and larger, modern bathrooms. It's a versatile choice that works with a wide range of colors, flooring types, and other design choices.
A New Iron Age
There are also many beautiful iron lighting fixtures to choose from these days. You can go ornate and classy, or opt for more subdued looks that work with a wide range of bathroom and kitchen designs.
