Bathroom lighting is crucial for everything from that close shave to makeup that isn’t a disaster. Plenty of lighting is exactly what you need when you’re getting ready to look your best to face the world. With each new house design and renovation, your choices in ceiling lights and led lighting - amongst all else - are becoming vast and interesting. Be sure to consider what you need for your day-to-day activities, and include a mixture of ceiling lights, wall lights and recessed units to reduce any chance of shadows. Here’s what to look out for as you get started with selecting bathroom fittings. More

Bathroom lighting to brighten up your day


Chandeliers aren’t such a great idea for bathrooms, unless the available space is quite large. Floor lamps, as well, take up a lot of room and are best left for living rooms or bedrooms. This leaves track lighting, ceiling lights (think: bright as day led lighting), and wall bathroom lights.

When positioned against bathroom mirrors, track lights can be quite effective in cancelling out shadows, making personal grooming a breeze. Available in a variety of styles, including globes, track lights work best with halogen or fluorescent bulbs.

Ceiling lights, particularly above the shower or toilet, are generally your best bet for task lighting. Depending on the wattage and type, your bathroom lights can be fluorescent or warm. Whichever one you choose, the most important consideration is how well the bathroom is lit. Dim yellow mood lights are best left for lounge powder rooms and even then you want your guests to refresh their hair and makeup without having to strain their eyes.

Contemporary bathroom lighting doesn’t usually include wall lights, but if your bathroom is large or if you’re keen on accent lighting, then these work well. Wall sconces or lanterns add a decorative flair to the bathroom and can also be installed beside mirrors to add drama (and reduce shadows).

Light up your bathroom mirrors and vanities


Consider your bathroom’s décor to decide what style will work for you. 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 fittings to ensure a cohesive design.

Where should I place my bathroom lighting?


If you have a small bathroom, such as a powder room, it’s possible that light from one source will be sufficient. Consider installing additional lights at the side of the bathroom 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.

Bathroom lighting ideas don’t have to be elaborate or extravagant. Between the ceiling lights, track lights, and bathroom mirror lights, you’ll have the whole space covered. Whichever lighting scheme you end up selecting, remember to keep things simple and enjoy the process as you browse the best of what Australia and New Zealand has to offer in bathroom lighting.
