Spending time in front of your bathroom mirror is a daily task for most everyone, whether for shaving or applying make up. So how do you provide adequate light that also has style?

A common trend these days is to choose a stylish light fixture that can be placed above the mirror in your vanity area. When making your choice, it’s important to choose a fixture that is the appropriate size for the mirror. Generally providing 100 watts per 18 inches of mirror width will do the trick and give you efficient amounts of light for your grooming tasks.

Another great idea for an exceptional comfort level in the bathroom is to install a dimmer on the vanity light. A dimming control will allow for bright light when you need it and will provide the option for softer lighting the majority of the time.
