Proper lighting transforms a bathroom from just functional to fabulous. Layered lighting—combining ambient, task, and accent sources—ensures your space looks great while serving every need, from makeup application to relaxing baths.

Types of Bathroom Lighting
- Ambient Lighting
General overhead lighting that illuminates the entire room. Common options include recessed lights or flush mount fixtures. - Task Lighting
Focused lighting for specific tasks, like vanity mirror lights. Avoid harsh shadows by using lights at eye level on either side of the mirror. - Accent Lighting
Mood lighting to highlight design elements such as artwork, niches, or architectural details. Examples include LED strips or sconces.
Tips for Perfect Bathroom Lighting
- Use dimmers to adjust lighting levels for day vs. night.
- Opt for daylight bulbs for natural color rendering.
- Choose fixtures resistant to moisture and humidity.
- Consider smart bulbs or integrated LEDs for energy efficiency.
