Without spending a lot of money, you can freshen up your bathroom with organization, fresh color, updated lighting, and good accessories. And each one of these ideas will help to really make a difference in the look and comfort of your bathroom.

Below are some ideas on how to give your bathroom a more beautiful and a comfortable feel. You can achieve this very easily with little changes made in the lighting scheme.

If your bathroom is too dark, there are several options to add fresh lighting. If you have a 3-light fixture, you can change it to a 5- or 7-light fixture to bring in more light. Go for a higher watt bulb if the fixture can accommodate it. Add additional light fixtures or recessed lighting.

If you are not able to have more light with the existing fixtures, go for new ones that allow more light. There are many varieties of such fixtures available in the market that will fulfill your purpose as well as add a style element to the area. Like, you can go for clear glass globes instead of frosted ones.

You can install dimmer switch for greater convenience. Through these you can control the intensity of lights and can create any kind of environment like for a relaxing feel, you can dim the lights. This also helps in saving energy.

If your bathroom doesn’t already have them, consider installing a pair of wall sconces on either side of the mirror. The fixture should be installed so the light bulbs are just about eye level. Be sure there is electrical power near your installation point before you start drilling into the wall. You might need to consult a licensed electrician about this addition.

If your bathroom vanity has enough counter top space and an electrical outlet handy, place a small table lamp there. Keep the lamp a safe distance from the water source. A decorative lamp adds a warm charm to the room and serves as a nice alternative to a night light.
