Do you think the lighting fixtures in your bathroom need an upgrade? If yes, then you have landed on the right post. Here we are going to list down and discuss some of the most trending bathroom lighting ideas in 2021.
So, without further ado, let’s get the ball rolling!
Amazing Bathroom Lighting Ideas for Your Home
Starting from the ceiling, all the way to vanity, here are some of the top trends to light up your bathroom space in 2021.
- Ceiling Lights
- Vanity Lights
- Pendant Lights
- Wall Sconces
Ceiling Lights
When it comes to lighting your bathroom interior, the very first thing that you need to focus on is the ceiling. Ceiling lights are also among the most common types of lighting fixtures that are being used in households for many years.
In recent years, owing to the evolution of interior trends, ceiling lights for bathrooms now come in many different shapes and sizes. They are fitted according to the theme or architectural style of the space. As you can see in the picture above, ceiling lights can be installed at multiple points in a bathroom to get it properly lit.
Attached with the ceiling, these lighting fixtures pose no electrical hazards as they are way out of reach of the water flow or any other type of moisture. This also means, if your ceiling is high enough, you can also install a light fixture right on top of your shower cabinet.
Vanity Lights
A vanity mirror is probably among the most prominent features of a bathroom. You can add some modern flair to your interior by installing vanity lights. Also, how about mounting lighting fixtures with steel or wooden frames on top of your vanity mirror? Well, it could be a perfect idea for you if you prefer giving your bathroom a rustic or industrial makeover.
Fluorescent bulbs were once considered a popular choice for vanity lighting but due to the growing popularity of LED bulbs and their incredibly flexible nature, they are now widely used in vanity lights.
In fact, LED lights have now become a default choice in most cases because they do not only provide ample illumination but are also extremely energy-efficient. Such lighting options are also being widely used in designing eco-friendly homes these days.
Pendant Lights
The use of pendant lights in bathroom interiors has notably increased in recent years. They come in a wide variety of styles and shapes. Pendant lights are considered among the most appropriate options for lighting different parts of a house, including hallways, dining rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and now even bathrooms.
Pendant light fixtures made with glass and brass are among a few good choices that can desirably trigger a sense of elegance and warmth in your bathroom setting. These lights can also be installed right next to your vanity mirror to enhance the appearance of your space.
Key Takeaways: Make sure the lighting fixtures aren’t too large to overpower your interior. Also, try to maintain a safe distance between the hanging lighting fixtures and all types of water sources to avoid any potential electrical hazards. Follow all electrical safety tips during the installation of lights in your bathroom.
Wall Sconces
Having a perfectly mounted wall sconce in your bathroom can spruce up your interior, unlike anything. Installing wall sconces is indeed one of the most amazing bathroom lighting ideas for your home. Like pendant lights, they also come in a plethora of designs and materials, helping you to give a more personalized touch to your interior.
From a vintage theme to a clean modern look, wall sconces can breathe new life into your bathroom space. Always mount these bathroom lighting fixtures at a height of 60-70 inches above the floor so the bulbs are properly hidden under the shades as the light coming out of them can make your eyes feel uncomfortable if you look directly at it.
