Indirect light reflected by light-coloured<br />
walls and ceilings makes small bathrooms<br />
look bigger. Supplementary wall<br />
luminaires, e.g. in niches, also make <strong>for</strong> a<br />

the conventional mid-ceiling luminaire. They<br />
set accents and create zones of light and<br />
shadow that enliven the room atmosphere.<br />
[67] In small or guest bathrooms, general<br />
room lighting can also be provided by wall<br />
lights alone. A ceiling luminaire is unnecessary<br />
in this case.<br />
