There are so many types of bathroom lights that it can be hard to know exactly what to stock in your store. In this blog, we will break down the different types of bathroom lights and current design trends to consider when choosing for our range.  

Bathroom Lighting: What’s On Trend? 

Geometric Patterns 

Customers are getting more adventurous with their patterns. After years of minimalism and soft colour palettes, it appears homeowners are now embracing a ‘maximalist’ approach. As they dip their two into louder patterns and shapes, the first room they’re choosing to amp us is their bathroom (almost like a trial run before they do the entire house).  

Darker Tones  

We’ve noticed a surge in popularity for darker tones, whether it be burgundy, dark green or navy. These daring and dramatic shades are being paired with low-warm lights to create a sultry, intimate atmosphere.  

Natural Elements 

 With a focus on well-being and sustainability, we are seeing more biophilic elements integrated with bathroom design to bring in a sense of nature. Natural materials and earthy tones provide a spa-like feel and a touch of oneness.  

Curves 

Whether in architectural design or interior, modern design features are embracing curves. Round lighting fixtures not only provide a contemporary edge but also a sense of softness and relaxation. It is an easy design feature to implement, with a payoff of subtle smoothness.

Why Stocking Different Types Of Bathroom Lights Is Important  

Even when it comes to modern trends, design concepts are pretty broad. From antique to modern, rustic to elaborate, simplistic to complex. Your lighting range must reflect the diverse preferences of your customers.  

The function of different types of bathroom lights also has a part to play. It is rare nowadays that you will walk into any room of a house, let alone a bathroom, that only has one light fixture in it. Layered lighting must be considered as a basis for how you stock your shop; covering every layer.   


Types Of Bathroom Lights: Layers By Layer 

Ambient Lighting-  

Ambient lighting refers to the base layer when creating a layered lighting plan, which provides the overall illumination to a room.  

Bathroom Ceiling Fixtures 

The Banda 35 light fixture is a perfect example of a simplistic, rounded ceiling light fixture that works perfectly in a sleek bathroom. Through matt white glass, a soft light is perfectly diffused throughout the room. This fixture also has a dimming function, meaning the ambient lighting of a room can be adjusted based on the homeowner's desired atmosphere.  

Recessed Lighting  
Recessed lights, like the Mini Recessed GU11, offer a discreet source of light. If your customers wish to showcase other features in their bathroom, then this fixture is a perfect solution. Whilst not distracting from a main focal point, recessed fixtures still project substantial ambient light. 

Task Lighting- 

Task lighting is used to highlight functional areas, providing ample light for tasks to occur.  

Vanity Lights  

The Tri-Fold Mirror Strip and Bathroom Mirror Clock are modern, stylish, and functional examples of bathroom lighting. When considering task light in a bathroom, catering for the needs of grooming or makeup application is a good place to start. Assuming not all your customers have broad windows and naturally well-lit bathrooms, vanity lights are a must.  

Bathroom Wall Lights 

Wall lights, like the Clamp Wall Light, are a perfect alternative for illuminating bathroom mirrors. Its simple, sleek, and stylish design exudes class and elegance, while effectively supporting a layered lighting plan. With LEDs, your energy-conscious customers do not have to worry, as they last up to 20 times longer than incandescent bulbs.  

Accent Lighting- 

Accent Lighting is used to elevate structural or interior design features with focused light. 

Bathroom Spotlights  

The Samson Split Bar Spotlight is a visually stunning feature, which can be used to radiate light on other impressive design elements in your customer's bathroom. With a complex striking bar design, this would work perfectly for customers who embrace the geometric trend. Its impressive design is accompanied by an attractive antique brass finish, adding a touch of elegance.  

Decorative Lighting- 

Lighting fixtures that are intended to be the focal point of the room by creating a statement.
Pendants  

The Empire 4Lt Flush pendant is a showstopping bathroom light fixture that combines elegance, class, and functionality together perfectly. With its tiered structure, this piece is not only timeless and luxurious but will have your customers amazed that decorative lighting can be so refined.  

Chandeliers  

For those customers who favour traditional design features and extravagance, the Autumn Bathroom Chandelier is a perfect solution. Allow this fixture to be the focal point of your customer’s bathroom, no matter the size. With an IP44 rating, it is fully splashproof and suitable for everyone.
