Mirrors & Light in Stone Wells

Reading Oltrarno daylight

Courtyard-facing baths may receive only three hours of direct sun. We measure lux at basin height in March and July before specifying mirror size — a panel that works in high summer can glare under grey January skies.

North wells near Borgo San Jacopo need artificial layers that render skin tones honestly for makeup and first-aid checks on children.

Mirror placement without vanity glare

Side-mounted sconces at eye level beat a single ceiling downlight that casts nose shadows. We draw fixture centres on elevation sheets so electricians do not centre cans by habit.

Framed mirrors with antiqued edges soften LED strips and echo brass tap patina chosen on the Vanity & Storage page.

Borrowed light tricks

Where regulations forbid new openings, a tall mirror opposite a hallway lamp can pull borrowed glow into the bath. Angle and safety glazing are noted for condominium review.

Reflective zellige on one wall amplifies candlelit evenings without adding wattage.

Night paths for families

Dim toe-kick LEDs along vanity bases guide sleepy children without waking the household. Circuits are separated from shower fans so night lights stay on when extraction cycles finish.

Motion sensors are avoided near street-facing windows where passing headlights would trigger false activations.
