Bathroom lighting: beautify your new living space

The bathroom is a centerpiece, whether it's to get ready in the morning or take a refreshing shower. Making the bathroom a place where we feel comfortable, where we like to spend time and relax depends not only on its design but also it's lighting. In the bathroom, we makeup, we shave, we wash. But that's not all. This is where our day begins in a relaxed way, whether we are preparing for a nice evening at the restaurant, or relaxing in a warm bath. In short, put everything on the lighting of the bathroom!

The color of light already influences our daily routine. Renowned cold, the bluish light can nevertheless have a beneficial effect on our body. Where and when to use? Of course in the morning to give a whiplash after awakening a little late.

In the evening, "cold" light is obviously inappropriate. That's when we should opt for a red-light that we find warm and comfortable. Perfect for relaxing before going to bed.

However, the light does not have to be blue or red like a neon sign. The color of the light is rather subtle and approaches the white light. The light from an incandescent lamp, for example, is called warm white. This information can also be found in the product details of modern LED bulbs. A slightly more bluish light is called universal white light or daylight, depending on the intensity of the blue tone.
