What types of bathroom lighting works best?
Because a bathroom is often a small space, opt for space-saving bathroom wall lights instead of oversized chandeliers or floor lamps. Strip lights and recessed bathroom lighting are popular options.
Strip lights: When placed above or alongside your bathroom mirror, strip lights will significantly reduce shadows, helping you shave or apply makeup. Available in a variety of styles, including globes (for the celebrity dressing room look!), LED spot strips or standard tubes, strip lights work best with halogen, LED or fluorescent bulbs.
Recessed lights: For ambience or task lighting, particularly above the shower or sink, recessed bathroom wall lights are generally your best bet. Depending on the light bulb and wattage you use, they can provide a soft glow or a bright light. You could have a recessed shelf next to your sink, bath or shower to provide storage and a cool bathroom lighting feature.
Other bathroom wall lights: Bathroom wall lights such as a brackets or sconces, are ideal for accenting and complementing overhead lights. They can add a decorative flair to the bathroom and can also be installed beside mirrors to help reduce shadows.
What style bathroom cabinet lighting is available?
Consider your bathroom’s décor to decide what style bathroom cabinet lighting will work for you. Wall sconces in particular often come in unique designs — you can even get a swing arm light for added style and convenience. If the design is limited, spruce up a bland light by opting for a unique finish. Brass, bronze and copper add a warm, inviting tone to your bath, while nickel, chrome and stainless steel are slick, trendy options. For a more classic look, try white, gold or black. Regardless of your pick, choose a finish that matches your bathroom hardware to ensure a cohesive bathroom lighting design.
Where should I place my bathroom lighting?
In order to avoid unwanted shadows that make bathroom grooming difficult, it’s essential to get the placement right when installing your bathroom wall lights. If you have a small bathroom or a cloakroom, it’s possible that light from one source will be sufficient. Cut down on shadows and create even lighting by installing a strip light above the mirror. Though that may create enough light, you may want to consider installing additional lights at the side of the mirror to further reduce shadows. In larger bathrooms, you may need a combination of mirror, shower (make sure it’s waterproof) and overhead lighting to appropriately light the entire space.
