Good task lighting can make the difference between a bright and a dark (literally!) start to your morning. Since bathrooms function as our main grooming centers, it’s important to make sure your task lighting evenly illuminates key areas, such as your mirror and/or vanity. Shadows are unflattering, especially when they’re cast below our eyes. This occurs when there’s only one light source coming from above. So, for adequate task lighting, it’s best to place light fixtures above and below, as well as on both sides of the bathroom mirror. For optimal results, stick with warm fluorescent
vertical wall sconcesapplied with a cross-lighting technique. This will produce even lighting for a space that should be free of irritating glare and shadows.
