Additional Light Sources for a Bright Bathroom

While natural light is wonderful, you'll still need artificial lighting for nighttime use. Layer different light sources to create a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Recessed lights or LED strip lights can provide general lighting, while vanity lights or wall sconces add tasks-oriented and ambient light. Don't forget dimmer switches for tailored lighting levels.
