LIGHTS
A ceiling light (fig. 01) in the
centre of the room is an easy
solution for illuminating the
entire space but may not be so
effective for creating any level
of mood or interest.
GENERAL LIGHTING
An alternative to one central
ceiling light is recessed
downlights (fig. 02).

You may only need three or
four for a typical size 2 x 2m
bathroom. Position them close
to the edges of the room in
order to get an attractive
scalloped wash down the wall.
This approach provides very
good general lighting but with
a gentler, more sophisticated
ambiance.
If budgets are tight and you
want to keep to a central
ceiling solution then you
could consider using surface-
mounted spotlights (fig. 03).
A triple spotlight can be
individually directed onto three
different points in the room
to provide pools of light where
you need it and creates a more
interesting lighting scene.
