For this piece she spoke to the world's best designers to find out how to use LED lights effectively in the bathroom.
Have a unique bathroom vanity and want to give it the starring role in your space's design scheme? Install LED lights behind the mirror, the cabinet, and under it, to give the entire unit a lovely, warm glow.'The LED strip lights were used in the bathroom’s ceiling and furnishing, fixed in the wood board,' says Beatriz Fujinaka, founder of WF Arquitetos(opens in new tab). 'In this way we cannot see them, but only their effect. The idea was avoiding elements that cut the wood ceiling.'
These are best done by a professional while installing your bathroom, ensuring your LED lighting is on your lighting circuit for easy use, but for a DIY version, you can create this idea by using an LED tape. These are flexible circuit boards with attached LED chips that can be cut to size and are available in different levels of brightness. The strips have a self-adhesive backing, making them easy to install anywhere.
Another great way to add a soft, diffused glow is by adding an LED strip behind the bathroom mirror. What's interesting is that strip lights are moisture-resistant, which makes them a great choice for lighting a bathroom vanity that receives a lot of water, oil, or hand wash splashes.LEDs are especially useful behind the vanity or mirror as they cast an even light, reducing or eliminating shadows on the face, helpful when shaving or applying makeup.
While LED strips easily fit above or below a mirror or medicine cabinet, they can be integrated into a mirror to project directly onto the face.What's also great about LEDs is that these can transition as night lights, to help avoid any accidents and falls. You can keep the bathroom mirror lighting switched off through the night without the harsh glare creeping into your room.
'This mirror was custom designed and fabricated to 'float' in front of a glass wall, allowing the bath to feel part of the natural surroundings,' says Nils Finne, founder of FINNE Architects. 'The steel frame contains two integral LED lighting strips on either side of the mirror.'
