Dreamy Bathroom Lighting

There's nothing dreamy and certainly not luxurious about a simple ceiling light in the bathroom. Designers now use dimmers, chandeliers and decorative wall sconces, low lights and high lights to bring a special look into the bathroom.

Place It Right

San Francisco-based Warren Sheets of Warren Sheets Design says LED lighting is the perfect solution when looking to create a soft and dreamy glow in the master bath, but they have to be positioned correctly. Called "ambient," this type of lighting works best when you want to light underneath the vanity (one that is a separate piece of furniture, on legs), on the sides of niches or shelving, and as cove lighting on the ceiling.
