Lighting is one of the most transformative elements in any space, but especially in the bathroom. It sets the mood, supports your morning routine, and can turn an ordinary bathroom into a calming retreat. The right lighting choices don't just illuminate your space, they elevate it.
Here are our top picks for bathroom lighting styles that combine form and function, featuring popular lighting brands like Eglo and Fluxwood.
Wall sconce lighting
Wall sconces are the secret to achieving soft, even lighting in your bathroom. Positioned on either side of your mirror or above it, sconces help reduce shadows and provide flattering light—perfect for makeup, shaving or getting ready for the day.
Available in a range of finishes, from brushed brass to matte black, Eglo wall sconces are a customer favourite for their sleek European design and affordability. Looking for something a little more rustic or natural? Fluxwood Lighting offers beautifully crafted timber wall lights that add an earthy, modern touch.
LED Mirrors
LED mirrors are a must-have in any contemporary bathroom. Not only do they provide excellent front-facing light for grooming, but many models also include dimmable settings, colour temperature control, and built-in demisters.
Aesthetically, they offer a clean, minimalist look while removing the need for separate task lighting above your vanity. Pair them with timber or tiled walls for a hotel-luxe feel that’s always Insta-ready.
Pendant lights
Pendant lights aren’t just for kitchens and hallways—they can make a serious style statement in bathrooms too. Whether hung over a freestanding bath or used as an alternative to traditional vanity lighting, bathroom-safe pendants add drama and dimension to your space.
For lovers of modern minimalism, Fluxwood’s timber pendant collection is a must-see. Each piece is handcrafted and designed to bring warmth and natural texture to your interiors.
Note: Ensure pendant lights are rated for wet or damp areas when placing near baths or showers.
Downlights
Recessed downlights are the foundation of any layered lighting scheme. Used in conjunction with wall sconces or pendants, they provide essential overhead light that evenly brightens the room.
Choose dimmable LED downlights to create a relaxing spa-like atmosphere for evening baths. Install them in zones to control lighting intensity based on function—brighter around the mirror, softer near the tub.
