UNCOVERED: 7 common bathroom lighting mistakes and how you can avoid them - Caught on Camera

Floral bathroom with lights.

Getting the lighting wrong can really kill any relaxing bathroom design ideas you may have in mind, and potentially lead to wonky eyebrows and/or a patchy beard! It can also result in décor disappointment and a room that’s just not a pleasant place in which to start and end each day.

The most beautifully lit bathrooms, by contrast, feature strategically positioned fittings that can be adjusted to suit the use and desired mood from day to night. Plan bathroom lighting ideas at the same time as the bathroom layout to ensure the main fittings, i.e. your basin, bath and shower, are directly illuminated. A night-light, activated by motion sensor, is a good safety feature for nocturnal trips to the bathroom, while low level lighting can help create a soothing sanctuary that’s as pampering as your favourite spa.
