Bathroom
Bathrooms have evolved from a simply utilitarian space into a private retreat for relaxation, escape and self-indulgence. The right lighting can make a bathroom even more inviting.
Whether built new or recently remodeled, bathrooms today demand intricate lighting solutions. Task lighting must be bright enough to do its job, but also work well with indirect accent lighting to soften the bathroom's ambiance. Decorative and ornate light fixtures and lamps provide elegance and sophistication. Shower lights brighten up enclosed stalls. Reading lamps by the toilet provide more focused light.

Tips to Choose Bathroom Lighting
Consider the Size of Your Bathroom:
Larger bathrooms may require multiple lighting sources to adequately illuminate the entire space, while smaller bathrooms may only need one central fixture.
Think About Task Lighting:
Task lighting is super important for activities such as shaving, applying makeup, or reading. Consider incorporating sconces on either side of the mirror to provide even lighting for these tasks.
Choose the Right Color Temperature:
Opt for LED bulbs with a color temperature between 2700K and 3000K for a warm and flattering light that mimics natural daylight.
Dimmable Options:
Dimmable fixtures offer versatility, allowing you to adjust the light levels according to your needs and mood.

Bathroom Lighting Design
Overhead Lighting:
Install a central ceiling light to provide general illumination in the bathroom. Consider a statement chandelier or pendant light for added visual interest.
Vanity Lighting:
Vanity lighting is essential for grooming tasks. Choose fixtures that offer even, shadow-free light, such as bath bars or vertical sconces placed on either side of the mirror.
Accent Lighting:
Accent lighting can highlight architectural features, artwork, or plants in the bathroom. Use recessed lighting, wall-mounted spotlights, or LED strips to create a focal point.
Bathroom Lighting Trends
Industrial Chic:
Industrial-style fixtures with exposed bulbs and metal finishes continue to be popular in bathroom lighting design.
Natural Elements:
Incorporating natural materials like wood, rattan, or woven fibers into lighting fixtures adds a touch of warmth and texture to the bathroom.
Statement Pieces:
Bold, oversized light fixtures that make a statement are trending in bathroom design. Think geometric pendants, sculptural chandeliers, or oversized lanterns.
