Filomena's Ideas
Note LED strips beneath each cupboard add mood lighting and emphasise the design of the vanity unit. Multiple light sources, wired to different circuits, will give you the most flexibility in any room. Here, Francesco Pierazzi Architects has buried LEDs into the ceiling and beneath the wall units for unobtrusive illumination. For more functional lighting, there are strips at the edges of the basin within the mirrored cabinets.
Note the ceiling spots are not the only option for flush illumination from above in a bathroom, as shown in this clean-lined space by RISE Design Studio. The architecture firm has made use of an unavoidable structural beam by boxing it in (with fire-rated plasterboard and then tadelakt – a type of waterproof plaster) and running a strip of LED lighting along its length. This is mirrored on the other side of the room, with a strip that runs along the ceiling above the bath
Note - possibility of adding a wine rack to the back wall
