Bathroom lighting is crucial. This is usually the first room we walk into in the morning and sets the mood for the rest of the day. It’s also the room we go into when we’re half asleep in the middle of the night.
Washing, putting on make-up, shaving, grooming and taking medication are just some of the daily routines in the bathroom. There is no other room in the home where it is more important to optimize both daylight (natural outdoor light) and lighting (bulbs).
Daylight is important to our overall health and emotions because it sets our circadian rhythms (how natural light affects and resets our biological clock and consciousness). Lighting is critical to our safety (80% of all falls for older adults occur in the bathroom) and personal care.
Daylight
Nothing comes close to beating the warmth, beauty and sentimental value of windows and skylights. These brighten your mood and help you feel more rested and energized. They make a smaller bathroom look much bigger. 
Windows provide free, energy-efficient and cost-effective lighting and ventilation. They are actually good for you. It has been shown in several prominent studies that daily exposure to natural light can improve mental and physical well-being, increase concentration and energy levels, and offer a host of other unexpected benefits.
