Bathroom wall lights

Wall lights that light up your bathroom

Wall lights are the most visible lights in the bathroom, and they help you light up a particular area of the room and can be task lights. 

Decorative value

Wall lights are in the line of sight of anyone in the bathroom. Pick them to be decorative as well as functional. Highlight other gold elements in the room with lights that are gold finished. The gilt look adds a luxurious feeling to your bathroom. Match your bathroom’s chrome-finish faucets, taps and shelves with chrome-finish light fixtures. Pick lamps that use shapes and design elements to match other items in the room. 

Vanity lighting

A good light over the mirror or mirrored cabinet is essential for grooming tasks. But, a pair of wall lights flanking the mirror looks attractive, and they lend a softer light for casual use of the vanity. 

Layers of light

As with other rooms in your home, a bathroom also looks better when lit in layers. Layered lighting can make the simplest bathroom look more interesting. Ambient light from ceiling lights gives a warm and diffused glow to the room, and wall lights light up specific bathroom areas. Vanity lighting over the mirror casts a bright light for makeup application or shaving. 

Size

 If your bathroom is small, a couple of wall lights may be enough for good lighting. But, if you have a larger bathroom, divide the room into areas based on tasks and install a wall light for each. A pedicure and painting your nails is so much easier when the room is well lit. Use brighter bulbs for task lighting. Larger bathrooms can use accent lighting to highlight design features and textures. 

Low ceiling

If your bathroom has a low ceiling, you may not be able to use ceiling lights. In this case, compensate with more wall lighting. Select wall lamps that lend the room a diffused glow of light. 

Brightness

Ambient light should not be too bright so that you feel comfortable when you visit the room in the middle of the night. You can group your bathroom lights and control them with a dimmer to get the perfect level of brightness. Ensure that you pick dimmable lights. Using a motion detector for the ambient light ensures that the bathroom is always lit when you enter it and that the light is turned off after you leave. Motion controlled lights are especially useful for homes with children or if you tend to forget to turn the lights off. 

Safety

Bathrooms have higher levels of humidity. It is essential to use light fixtures specifically designed for the bathroom, and they should operate safely in humid conditions and be rustproof. 

Matching lights

In a small bathroom, choose similar wall fixtures or an exact match. You can also pick fixtures with common design elements for the wall and ceiling. We make matching easy for you with designs that can be used as wall or ceiling lights. 

LED lights

LED lights are very energy efficient, and they are also slim and enable innovative and smaller light fixture designs. Smart LED lights can be controlled by an app or remote to vary their brightness and colour when applicable. Using LED lights in the bathroom lets you install more lights without worrying about using too much electricity.
