Why Bathroom Lighting Matters

Bathroom lighting helps shape your entire day. Bad lighting in the bathroom can make it hard and unpleasant to shave or apply makeup. Proper lighting in the bathroom helps relax you, highlights safety and makes everything more visible. This type of lighting can draw attention to architecture and better your home’s overall design.

Types of Bathroom Lighting Fixtures

There are many types of lighting available at Bircata, for every taste and intended use. This guide will cover the most common types.

Vanity Lights

Vanity lighting is ideal for mirror areas because it shines light evenly, without glaring.

Ceiling Lights

Sometimes referred to as flush or semi-flush mounts, these lights provide general light and fit well in bathrooms that aren’t too big or too small.

Wall Sconces

Wall-mounted lights are helpful and attractive and are best used beside mirrors for even lighting.

Pendant Lighting

With pendant lights, the most interesting features are their strong directional lighting and appealing style.

Recessed Lighting

Almost hidden, recessed lights offer lots of lighting without taking up space on your ceiling.

Choosing the Right Lighting for Each Bathroom Zone

Bathroom lighting requirements vary from area to area.

  • For your mirror, try hanging a vertical sconce or a bar light placed horizontally above it so you don’t get shadows.
  • Proper lighting in the shower area comes from recessed lights that are safe and well-ventilated.
  • Use ceiling lights or a combination of ceiling and wall options, to give the room even illumination.

For a comfortable and welcoming space, use various types of lighting in your bathroom: ambient, task and accent lighting at the same time.
