Whether you take a quick glance in the mirror and go or spend hours primping in front of it, your bathroom is one of the most used rooms in your home. Why not make it a haven that meets all your needs of preparation and relaxation?
The latest trend in bathroom lighting is layers. Gone are the days of the harsh vanity lights. Soft ceiling lights over the tub, dec orative wall sconces, and lamps on countertops are the new way. There are so many ways to transform your bathroom. Make a bold statement with art deco or retro lighting. Turn it into a sanctuary of comfort with candlestick sconces and chandeliers. Here are more ideas to inspire the designer within you.
1. Sconces. Who says your lighting has to be the sharp bright over-the-mirror type? Set mood lighting with side sconces and a dimmer. Create an instant change with colored lampshades. The diverse selections of colors and styles cater to your creativity. Some examples include:
- Art Deco
- Brass
- Nautical/Cage Shade
- Traditional lampshade
- Crystal
- Fabric
- Candlestick

2. Chandeliers. A chandelier can add a nice contrast to the rest of your bathroom and also help set the mood. Make a long bath luxurious without the need for candles. Make a statement with a bold old-world style. Incorporate your love for all things French. Check out these styles:
