In this way, you can keep the place pristine clean and tidy easily.

3. Right Lightning Matter! Lighting is key since the right kind of lighting, in either warm or cool, is needed to create the different moods. Therefore, the hotel bedrooms are usually fitted with different forms of lighting in the form of the wall sconces, overhead and recessing mirror lights. Remember to use task lighting for the vanity counter and recessing lighting behind the mirror to eliminate the shadows and an overhead lighting to fully illuminate the shower area.
