Relaxing Bathroom Lighting Ideas
Discover bathroom lighting ideas to create a serene spa-like atmosphere at home
Creating a spa-like oasis in your bathroom is more than just a design choice; it's a way to bring tranquility and luxury into your daily routine. The key to achieving this serene atmosphere lies in the thoughtful use of lighting. With our curated collection of bathroom lighting, you can effortlessly elevate your space, blending style and functionality to create the ultimate relaxation haven.
We offer a diverse range of bathroom lighting options, from classic wall sconces to sleek pendant lights, subtle downlights to luxurious strip lighting. Each piece is designed not just to illuminate, but to transform your bathroom into a calming retreat.
3 key things to consider when choosing bathroom lighting
- Placement - Deciding where to place bathroom lights is key when it comes to creating the desired atmosphere within a room. Low level accent lighting creates a calming, cosy space whereas spotlights create a bright light, with a more revitalising feel. Striking the perfect balance between the both is the perfect solution to making your bathroom work for you.
- Quantity - Another key consideration when choosing bathroom lighting is how many lights you need to serve the space. Consider decorative lighting choices, like having two wall sconces either side of your vanity unit. Give thought to whether you would like strip lighting around your bathtub. Are you going to install spotlights? If so, review the size of your room as a larger space may require more or stronger light sources, while small bathrooms may need fewer lights. The amount of natural light your bathroom gets will also affect how many lights you need to install.
- Warmth - Consider the type of light you prefer. Do you like the cosiness of a warm light, or do you prefer a bright white light? For a bathroom, you might want to choose LED lights for their efficiency and longevity. All of our smart bathroom lights have the added benefit of light temperature-changing technology. Choosing the correct light temperature can make a huge difference to the ambience of your room.
Ceiling Lighting
Ceiling lights are the cornerstone of any well-lit bathroom, providing the overall illumination that sets the tone for the entire space. Options like downlights and spotlights are not only efficient in delivering bright lighting but also offer a sleek and modern aesthetic to the space. They can be strategically installed to enhance the brightness and visual appeal of the bathroom without being obtrusive.
Bathroom downlights
Discrete and practical
Downlights are a staple in any bathroom lighting scheme, offering subtle yet effective illumination. Designed to minimise glare while providing ample light, making them perfect for layering with other light sources like pendant lights and illuminated mirrors. With a semi-recessed design, downlights fit seamlessly into any bathroom style, enhancing the space's functionality without compromising on aesthetics. Create a bright and modern wet room with recessed downlights or create well lit zones with cleverly placed downlights.
For those seeking versatility, our dynamic smart lighting systems allow you to customise your bathroom lighting to suit your mood. Whether you’re winding down in the evening or energising yourself in the morning, these smart lights, controlled via the WiZ app or a remote, provide complete control over your environment.
Bathroom pendant lights
For light and style
Pendant light fittings are a wonderful way to introduce character and individuality to your bathroom scheme, particularly when combined with other options. Perfect for larger spaces, these decorative lights help create distinct zones within your bathroom, adding warmth and cosiness that’s essential for a spa-like environment.
Whether you choose a fluted baton light or a globe style pendant, the brass and matt black finishes ensure these lights offer both style and substance, making your bathroom feel like a luxurious retreat.
Wall Lights
Wall lights are essential for creating layered lighting effects that enhance both the ambiance and functionality of your bathroom. Decorative wall lights, from wall sconces to practical mirror lights, come in a variety of styles and finishes to match your design vision. Strategically placed wall lights can create soft, mood-enhancing illumination, perfect for a spa-like setting. Options such as strip lighting or illuminated mirrors add another dimension, combining beauty with practicality.
Wall sconces
Elegant additions
An elegant choice for bathrooms both classic and contemporary, wall-mounted bathroom lights offer both decorative and functional mood lighting and work especially well when installed in pairs on either side of a bathroom vanity. Available in both globe and fluted baton styles, choose from brass or matt black finishes to complement your wider bathroom fittings. Wall sconces not only light up your space but also enhance the overall mood, making your bathroom feel like a true spa sanctuary.
Bathroom mirror lights
Light from all angles
Slim and streamlined, illuminated mirrors are both stylish and functional, providing essential task lighting for activities like skincare and applying make up. Available in a range of sizes and styles, these mirrors offer diffused or framed illumination, with additional features such as dimmable lighting, heated demister pads, and infrared switches for convenience. Powered by energy-efficient LED bulbs, these mirrors are a perfect blend of form and function, enhancing your bathroom's spa ambiance throughout your day to night routine. Our collection of smart mirrors come equipped with adjustable brightness which, through the WiZ app, can be scheduled to align with your daily routine.
Strip Lighting
Strip lighting is the perfect finishing touch to your bathroom lighting scheme, adding both luxury and practicality. Ideal for illuminating shower niches, wall alcoves, or the space under furniture units, strip lights are particularly effective in a windowless bathroom where natural light is scarce. This use of accent lighting helps to create ambience and the perfect indirect lighting you need in a bathroom. Consider placing strip lights behind your bathtub to create a serene, spa-like glow, or use them to highlight architectural features. At night, turn off other lights and let the ambient glow of strip lighting envelop your bathroom, enhancing your bathing experience.
Colour control technology
Our smart lights respond to your needs intuitively. Adjust brightness, change colour temperatures, or set scenic moods via your smartphone or voice commands to create the perfect smart lighting system. Tailor your lighting to every activity, from a calming bath after a long day to a bright morning routine. Wake to bright mornings and see clearly with crisp, practical lighting. Moving into the evening, create a restful space with ambient warm light, perfectly prepping you for a good nights sleep. Smart light bulbs can be dimmed and adjusted to suit the time of day or the task at hand, and can even be set in tune with circadian rhythms to create restful mood lighting or energising light.
Circadian rhythms are 24-hour cycles that are part of the body's internal clock. Light and dark have the biggest influence on circadian rhythms, but food intake, stress, physical activity, social environment, and temperature also affect them.
One really easy way to positively impact your circadian rhythm is to control your sleep patterns and keep them consistent. Your core body temperature needs to drop by about 1-2 degrees to initiate good sleep. Taking a warm bath or shower an hour or two before bedtime can help you unwind and fall asleep faster by lowering your core temperature - your circadian rhythm will take this as a signal that you are ready to sleep. Incorporating the right light will also help this.
Well planned bathroom lighting makes the act of transforming your bathroom into a spa-like retreat entirely doable, even in a small bathroom. Whether you prefer the subtlety of downlights, the statement of pendant wall lights, or the elegance of wall sconces, the right light can turn your bathroom into a serene sanctuary. Explore the possibilities and let your bathroom lighting create a space where you can unwind and rejuvenate, every single day.
