Types of Bathroom Lighting

Bathroom lighting is one of the most important aspects of any bathroom. It can make a huge difference in the look and feel of the space, so it’s important to choose the right type of lighting for your needs and style. Here are some of the most popular types of bathroom lighting that we offer at Connecticut Lighting Centers:

How To Choose Bathroom Lighting

Purpose: First, determine the purpose of the lighting in your bathroom. Are you looking to brighten up the space, create a relaxing atmosphere, or both? Knowing your purpose will help you decide on the type of lighting to use. If you are looking for general lighting, consider using a combination of recessed lights, wall sconces, and pendant lights.

Type of Light Bulbs: Second, consider the type of bulbs you will use in your bathroom lighting. LED bulbs are becoming increasingly popular for their energy efficiency and durability. Incandescent bulbs are a classic option, but they produce more heat and require more energy to operate. Halogen bulbs are a great option for those who want a bright, crisp light. Whatever type of bulb you choose, make sure it is the appropriate wattage for the size of your space.

Bathroom Size & Layout: Third, take into account the size and layout of your bathroom when selecting your lighting fixtures. Wall sconces are a great way to light up a large space, while pendant lighting can add a touch of elegance to a smaller space. Consider the size and shape of your space when selecting your fixtures to ensure they will fit and look aesthetically pleasing.

Color: Fourth, consider the color of your bathroom lighting. Warmer tones can create a cozy atmosphere, while cooler tones can create a more modern feel. You can also use colored bulbs to create a unique ambiance in your space.

Lighting Around Mirrors

Perfect lighting around the mirror is essential for any bathroom. An ideal lighting configuration is one that brightens up the face when you’re looking in the mirror. LED lighting strips mounted around the mirrors have taken over the traditional vanity lighting fixtures. These strips cast a soft, flattering light, adding an elegant and sophisticated look to your bathing space.

Natural Lighting

Nothing beats natural light in a bathroom. Large windows that let in plenty of natural light can make smaller bathrooms feel more spacious and appealing. Skylights and glass walls can also be used to bring natural light into a bathroom. These designs make bathrooms feel airy and open.

Minimalist Fixtures

Minimalism has taken over interior design, and the bathroom is no exception. A minimalist design with clean lines and understated fixtures will make your bathroom feel modern, sophisticated, and uncluttered. These fixtures come in many configurations, ranging from sleek wall-mounted sconces to simple ceiling lights to practical vanity lighting. Ask a lighting designer for recommendations today!
