My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Light sources in bathroom

10 years ago
I have the same pendant fixtures but concerned about adequate light. There are 2 small windows (9x14) in 6 x 8 ft room. Two questions: Size of this room and what other light sources. Many thanks!

    Hi yes you would definitely need some additional light sources. I usually add one or two recessed ( pot lights ) somewhere around the sink area and a sealed ( pot light) unit for in the shower or tub area

    My Bathroom is 75" x 96". Two windows 9"x 14" are on the 75" wall. At present I have it wired for one center light. Would you recommend a pot light in the center of the room and one in the shower or change the configuration? Recessed or flush pot lights? Thank-you for any info.
