Experience Dynamic Lighting from DMX PhaseX
We’ve seen it all—the good, the bad, and the just plain awful when it comes to bathroom lighting. Homeowners use their bathrooms in a variety of ways: applying makeup, shaving, brushing teeth, or just unwinding in the tub after a long day. For each use case, the right lighting design is necessary to achieve both functionality and a luxury aesthetic. Continue reading for practical tips to achieve the ideal bathroom lighting, inspired by insights from Lee Travis of Wipliance and David Warfel of Light Can Help You.
WATCH: How to Get the Best Bathroom Lighting Design
Tip #1. Vanity Lighting
A common mistake in bathroom lighting is relying on a single recessed downlight above the sink. While it may illuminate the basin, it casts shadows on your face—making tasks like applying makeup or shaving difficult.
Instead, position sconces or vertical lighting fixtures on either side of the mirror. This eliminates harsh shadows and balances the light. To take it up a notch, consider adding a soft backlight behind the mirror for a touch of glamour. This layered approach enhances visibility and creates a warm, flattering glow.
#2. Shower and Bath Lighting
You might not realize it, but lighting can have quite an impact on your shower experience, depending on the time of day. Bright, cool lighting mimics natural daylight and is perfect for morning showers when you need an energizing start. For the evening, choose warmer, dimmer lighting to create a spa-like ambiance. Using color-tunable fixtures allows you to easily switch between these moods. Accent lighting along walls or under cabinets can add even more elegance to the relaxing atmosphere.
#3. Layers and Color Temperature
One-size-fits-all lighting simply doesn’t work in a bathroom. Instead, incorporate layers:
- Ambient Lighting: General overhead light for the entire space.
- Task Lighting: Focused light for specific tasks like grooming.
- Accent Lighting: Subtle, decorative lights to highlight architectural features or create mood.
Choose fixtures with tunable white technology for the capability to adjust the color temperature based on the time of day. Cooler tones during the day and warmer tones at night align with nature to enhance comfort and boost energy levels.
