Here are some bathroom lighting ideas to help you turn your ordinary bathroom into the bathroom of your dreams!

• Install recessed lighting

This type of lighting can create a crisp, clean, and modern look for your bathroom. Since this type of lighting is protected by the ceiling, it is considered the safest as it cannot be splashed by water. Recessed lighting can also help keep the bathroom nice and bright.

• Downlights

Perfect for small bathrooms as they can be effective in lighting small spaces. They often cast shadows so they are not the best choice for solo light source.

• Chandeliers

If you want to go for a more traditional look, go for chandeliers. It can be installed over a tub or in the center of your bathroom space showing off its grandeur. It can also serve as a focal point in your bathroom too. 

• Task lighting

Task lighting is perfect for important zones. When lighting your bathroom, keep in mind that each part and zone in your bathroom will require its own source of lighting. Since you will be using every zone at different times, make sure to have different kinds of light to illuminate them. For instance, lighting in your bathroom vanity area is important as it is where you will brush your teeth, shave and even wash your face.

• Dimmers

Bright lights are important in bathrooms but sometimes, they can be irritating and intrusive especially when you are in the mood for some relaxation. Installing bright lights with dimmers can help you create the right atmosphere inside your bathroom.
