Bathroom ceiling lights & wall lamps

Bathroom lights that can go on the wall or ceiling

When it’s time to shine a light on getting ready for work or a big night out, you have options in bathroom lighting. From task lighting to accent lighting, select fixtures that are perfect to create atmosphere in the bathroom when paired with smart LED lightbulbs that provide soft, yet crisp lighting to finely illuminate contours when shaving or applying makeup. Or choose bathroom ceiling lights and wall lamps with built-in LED light sources. 

It’s easier to express your sense of style with the versatility of IKEA bathroom lights since you can choose lamps that can be installed in either the ceiling or the wall. While the hardwired installation is an easy process, we recommend an authorized electrician for consultation and installation.

Bathroom lighting that matches any décor style

Select a look that will help you put your personal stamp on any type of bathroom. Choose bathroom ceiling lighting and wall sconces that combine opaque white glass shades and elegant metal shade holders in soft, round shapes that evoke the timeless look of farmhouse style décor. Choose anodized rust-free aluminum ceiling cups or shade holders with the look of sleek stainless steel, attractive brass or in neutral and stylish black. When mounted to the ceiling, some bathroom ceiling light fixtures can be lowered thanks to a smart steel arm. 

Or mount ceiling lights with built-in LED light sources, such as flat, circular light fixtures that sit flush against the ceiling. The durable polycarbonate plastic casing is approved for damp conditions and the shade emits a crisp yet soothing soft glow. Need to turn up the lights for flossing or dial things down for your party guests? It’s easy to set any vibe you want when you can control the lighting with a TRÅDFRI remote control or your smartphone. 

You can also go with wall sconces with black polycarbonate bases and white opal shades that are equally at home as ceiling lights. Use them as bathroom vanity lights placed on either side of your bathroom mirror or dot them along the ceiling, using as many as you need, depending on the size of your bathroom and the level of lighting you want. All IKEA bathroom lighting is approved for damp conditions.
