Your bathroom is one of the most important spaces in your home. It’s where you start and finish your day and it’s also the room your guests pop into most often.

We’ve put together some gorgeous bathroom lighting ideas to help you give your bathroom a fresh new glow.
Bathroom Vanity Lighting Ideas
While placing a wall bracket on either side of the vanity mirror is the most popular technique of lighting, dare to be different by styling on just one side.

Vanity Lights Used By Three Birds Renovations
If you have interesting features to show off like period tiles, unique grout or a curvy mirror, choose understated vanity lights that don’t compete for attention but still perform their job of highlighting the details.

Wall and Vanity Lighting
A statement wall light over the vanity mirror not only creates a dramatic focal point but also illuminates the face and mirror evenly, thereby eliminating shadows. Back lighting your vanity mirror with strip lights gives your bathroom the luxe-feel it deserves.

Bathroom Lighting Flexibility
A linear Scandinavian-style wall bracket is perfect for a minimalist bathroom. Our Kings wall bracket featured in this bathroom offers colour temperature changing and dimming functionality; it’s great to have this flexibility so that you can adjust the temperature and intensity of light to suit a variety of grooming tasks and the time of day.

Bathroom Lighting Ideas with Pendants
Be creative with your styling. Use pendants around your vanity instead of wall brackets. Just ensure they’re placed at a safe distance from splash areas. Your electrician should be able to help you with that.

Bathroom Wall Lighting Ideas
For a unique look, pair your wall lights and place them off-centre. Choose lights that have a high CRI (Colour Rendering Index) closer to 100 so that you see colours as they are. This is especially important when you’re applying makeup.
