Bathroom Lighting

Using diffuse lighting helps to create a soft and gentle illumination that evenly spreads throughout the room, minimising harsh shadows and reducing glare. This type of lighting creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it ideal for relaxing spaces such as bathrooms.

When selecting wall lamps for your bathroom, start by identifying the primary purpose of the lighting. If the lamps are intended for tasks like grooming or applying makeup, you’ll need bright, even illumination, particularly around the mirror. Ambient lighting, on the other hand, can be softer and more diffuse to create a relaxing atmosphere.

Placement is crucial, and wall lamps are typically installed at eye level, about 60 to 65 inches from the floor, and often on either side of the mirror to eliminate shadows. The style of the lamps should align with your bathroom's design, whether that’s sleek and modern, classic and ornate, or minimalist and understated.

To achieve the best lighting for a bathroom mirror, focus on even and shadow-free illumination. The ideal setup includes wall-mounted sconces or vertical fixtures placed on either side of the mirror, positioned at eye level (approximately 60-65 inches from the floor). This ensures the face is evenly lit from both sides, minimising shadows under the eyes, nose, or chin. For optimal brightness, choose fixtures with frosted or diffused shades to soften the light and prevent glare.
