Bathroom Lighting Guide

Bathroom lighting needs to combine safe specification with flattering mirror light and practical general illumination. The layout should be planned alongside ceiling, mirror and electrical work.

Planning guide

Plan the decision before you price the work.

Bathroom lighting needs to combine safe specification with flattering mirror light and practical general illumination. The layout should be planned alongside ceiling, mirror and electrical work.

01

Separate mirror and general lighting

A ceiling-only scheme can create facial shadows. Lighting at or around the mirror can improve grooming tasks when positioned to illuminate the face more evenly.

02

Respect bathroom zones and ratings

Fittings must be suitable for their location and installed to applicable electrical requirements. Product choice should be checked before finalising the decorative layout.

03

Use warmer secondary light selectively

A niche, vanity or low-level accent can make the room calmer at night, while brighter general light remains available for cleaning and everyday use.

Made to feel calm, not clinical.
