Keeping your home up to date and aesthetically appealing means knowing when it’s time to replace things around your home, such as indoor lighting. Bathroom lighting is a big deal because these are usually smaller rooms, and lighting makes a big difference in a small room. Here are some signs that it might be time to replace your bathroom lighting.
It’s Outdated
Like most features in our homes, lighting can become outdated after a while. The lighting in a bathroom often gets overlooked for long stretches of time. You really only notice these lights if something is wrong. It’s a good idea to go through the bathrooms in your home and take an honest assessment of the lighting. How long has it been there? Does the lighting reflect your other style and décor choices in the bathroom or the rest of the house for that matter? If not, it’s probably time to update your fixtures to something more modern or at least to something that works seamlessly with the style choices in the rest of the house.
You Want New Options
Even if your lighting isn’t outdated, you might have still grown bored with it. Trying a new type of lighting, such as recessed lights, can create an entirely different atmosphere in the space. Recessed light requires at least 6 inches of clearance above the ceiling, according to HGTV, and insulation is essential to ensure that condensation doesn’t drip into the fixture.
You Want to Sell Your House
Another time that new light fixtures should be considered would be if you’re getting ready to sell your house. Before putting your house on the market, you’ll want to make updates that add value. Lighting updates do add value to your home. New lighting also adds functionality to your home as well. You should talk with professionals at the lighting store to inquire about which types of lighting add the most value.
Faulty Fixtures
You will also want to consider new fixtures if your old lights are malfunctioning. This could be caused by aged wiring or just a faulty fixture. You should keep in mind, though, that a faulty light fixture can be dangerous, so you should replace it soon.
These are just a few signs that you might want to consider updating your bathroom lighting. If you’re looking for new lighting options, check out our indoor lighting inventory at Premier Lighting today.
