Bathroom lighting

Choosing the best bathroom lamp fixtures for your home

There are certain design decisions that can be made without serious thought, such as choosing new throw pillows or a seasonal door mat. And then there are decisions like lighting, which require some practical questions and considerations to ensure you make a choice that fits your style and your needs.

Some things to keep in mind include

How many bath light fixtures do you need?

Whether you’re updating current fixtures or designing a whole new bath, it’s important to first consider how many total fixtures you need and where they’ll be located. Many of our styles are flexible and look great in a variety of locations and configurations, while others are best suited for ceiling placement and beside or above a bathroom mirror.

How much bathroom lighting do you need?

The total amount of light needed in a space can vary quite a bit from bathroom to bathroom based on a number of factors, including the amount of natural light the bathroom receives and whether it’s used for personal grooming.

If you’re shopping for bathroom lamp fixtures for a main bath or primary bedroom bath, you and your family will likely be using the space for bathing, brushing your teeth, combing your hair, putting in contact lenses and more. If that rings true, you’ll want to be sure you have proper lighting to accomplish all those tasks. On the flipside, perhaps you’re looking for a single fixture for a small powder room. If the space won’t be serving as an area to ‘get ready’ for the day, you can focus more on style than practicality. Perhaps you’d even prefer a moody, elegant, softly-lit powder room?
