I Thought This Common Trick Was the Answer to My Bathroom Lighting Woes — But Experts Say It's Really Not a Good Idea

Lighting is a big part of a home as it creates a sense of calm and zen. And speaking from experience, it can often be tempting to add different forms of lighting in various areas of the home, including the bathroom. But it seems my needs and wants for a table lamp in my bathroom are not quite what the experts recommend (at least not the ones you'd usually place in your bedroom or living room).

Rechargeable lamps might seem like a great idea at first, and to many designers and lighting experts, they are, but only if you choose the right ones. What do I mean by that? Well, most standard table lamps are not lovers of moisture and damp, so adding them to a humid bathroom may not be the best choice. But is there a solution for it? If you're like me and need a few lamps to create a serene ambiance, it's fair to ask whether there are any bathroom-safe lamps available.
