Bathroom lighting ideas to brighten each moment

Have you got the right amount of lighting in your bathroom? Dimly lit and soothing warm glow helps you to relax, while task lighting helps you see clearly when you brush your teeth. Maximise the shine and find the right types of bathroom lighting to simplify your day-to-night routine.

Bring on the ambience with several soft lights

Many smaller lamps spread out across the bathroom – rather than just one or two – is a clever way to make the space feel bigger. This wall lamp with a frosted glass shade spreads a soft light that you can dim to set a pleasant spa feel in your bathroom.

Bask in the light from all angles

Good functional light around the bathroom mirror is important as this is where most of the action is. A mirror with built-in lighting can be a smart choice for a compact solution that spreads the light evenly, not just up close but across larger areas of the bathroom.

Get ready for a spa night with a feelgood glow

Nothing sets the mood in a bathroom quite like some flickering candles. Fake candles with a safe, long-lasting LED light source can be just as good as regular. These ones have built-in timers, so they’re also ideal to use as cosy bathroom night lights for an extra relaxing atmosphere.

Grab a dimmer switch and elevate the mood

Having the right lighting is everything, but that can mean different things depending on the time of day or what you’re doing. In the mornings you may need full lights on just to see properly whereas, in the evenings, you may want to lower the lights to wind down and enjoy a moodier feel.
