If your bathroom feels a bit dark and claustrophobic, that’s probably because you don’t have proper lighting. This is common in bathrooms because they often don’t have natural lighting, and when they do have windows, these are often covered up with curtains or blinds for privacy reasons. One of the keys to curing a dark room is having multiple light sources that provide different types of light. Nate Berkus says that this is so crucial because it allows you to control the feel of the space, per an Instagram reel. In the bathroom, you probably don’t want a floor lamp and cord to trip over, but there are lots of other ways to incorporate multiple light sources for a glam feel. 

For your main overhead light, consider getting dimmer switches. These make it possible to choose a brighter light when you need full visibility and go for something a bit darker when you want to lounge in the bathtub and still be able to reach for the soap. If you want more of a design-oriented lighting choice in the bathroom but don’t want to sacrifice the amount of light produced, you cannot go wrong with wall sconces. There is no end of possible options for any aesthetic, be it deco, contemporary, or boho.
