Choosing your Bedroom and Bathroom ceiling Fixtures


Bedrooms can usually be served well by a fixture that holds 2 or 3 bulbs located in the center of the room. If you have exceptionally large bedrooms, you may need to plan your lighting to incorporate some smaller ceiling fixtures ith an assortment of lamps to bring light to specific areas of the room.


Ceiling fixtures for bathrooms may incorporate ventilation fans or heaters depending on need and taste. As in other rooms, try to make the fixture seem to fit the style of the room. If you have put expensive fixtures in the bathroom, do not short change the ceiling lighting. For those putting together a romantic bathroom suite, you may want to bring in some indirect sources of light and use dimmers.

To light areas in any room that are not well served by the main fixture, recessed lights and various styles of track lighting can add ambiance. Some areas to consider would be near the kitchen sink or stove. You may want extra lighting brought to accent a fireplace or breakfast nook.When putting ceiling fixtures in rooms that are relatively sterile in their feel, you may want to consider flourescent fixtures. Many people are not great fans, but with a suspended ceiling you can hide the fixtures and still get great light. The bulbs last a long time even with heavy use and use much less electricity than incandescent bulbs. One area for this type of fixture would be a basement family room
