Bathroom Lighting is Not Rocket Science
Way, way back in ancient history, bathrooms were not about hygiene as we know it today. What was the origin of bathing? Well, it was for religious value.
Water was seen as a purifying element both the physical and the mental state. This is why people bathe themselves prior to entering a sacred area. As time went by, bathing became a social and entertainment commune.
Then during the Renaissance, communal bathing decline as fear of diseases spread; and from then on private baths were attuned. Even today if you travel to remote places, you may find locals not bathe often such as Eskimos.
In modern times, our personal hygiene is done in the bathroom such as shaving or tweezing. The vanity area is where bright light is crucial to prevent mishaps. Another area where light level is crucial is the shower. It certainly wouldn't be pleasant to slip or fall because the shower was improperly lit causing overlooks.
After a long stressful day at work, leave the vanity and shower lights off. Wouldn't it be nice to soak in a bubble bath with mood lighting? Having wall sconces dimmed to the perfect ambient level while tuning into soothing music is so heavenly. A spacious bathroom can definitely be a soul rejuvenating area.
Nonetheless, the modern spacious bathroom is multifunctional. With the proper lighting, the bathroom can be very enjoyable and practical for everyday use.
