BREAKDOWN OF BATHROOM LIGHTING
When it comes to finding the perfect lighting design for your bathroom, there are five things you should keep in mind.
Layers Of Lights
Whether you’re designing a brand-new bathroom or renovating an existing bathroom, you have likely heard the rule of installing a combination of lighting in your space. To ensure balanced lighting, it is recommended to have a mixture of ambient lighting, such as a bathroom chandelier or pendants, task lighting, ideal for applying makeup or shaving, and accent lighting, used to highlight the decor. This will ensure you don’t have any dimly areas, and you can see yourself clear as day when getting ready.
Mix Up Fixtures
Oftentimes, sconces are used in bathrooms to provide great illumination. While you can’t go wrong with the traditional sconces, a great alternative if you’re wanting to mix it up a bit is pendant lighting. It will add depth and a unique design to your bathroom. Keep it simple, or go for statement pendants, the choice is yours!
Keep Finishes Similar
While it’s fun to get creative and push the limits with your bathroom design, keep in mind that if you get too adventurous, the end result may not look too aesthetically pleasing. We recommend keeping the finishes of your light fixtures similar to the overall style of your bathroom and incorporating statement features instead.

Size Matters
Consider the size and layout of your bathroom when selecting bathroom lighting fixtures. If the bathroom is smaller, we recommend adding sconces and ceiling lights to make the space appear bigger. If you have a larger space to work with, incorporating a fixture like a bathroom chandelier would elevate the space and give it a unique design.
