What would a room be without beautiful light to direct the eye? Even in the bathroom, you shouldn’t do without a well thought-out lighting concept; this is where users’ lighting needs change tremendously over the course of the day. We present grandiose ideas for your bathroom lighting.
As in any room, the bathroom needs basic lighting that is bright enough to properly illuminate all areas. Warm, white LED lights that create a pleasant mood are recommended. When choosing the right lamp, first pay attention to technical aspects such as the protection class and approvals to ensure that the model can be used in a damp space.
Your bathroom lighting should also diffuse the light well, to make sure no one gets blinded and the light is evenly distributed throughout the room. If the ceiling lamp has a dimmer function, you can create a soothing atmosphere for any evenings in the bath tub without additional wellness lighting. You could also use modern lighting technology, which allows you to create various lighting scenarios.
The situation is completely different for mirror lighting in the bathroom: This requires direct, bright light, so that no spot gets overlooked when applying makeup or shaving. If you pick LED lights, pay attention to the lumen value, which indicates how bright a light is. Overall, the luminous intensity of bathroom lighting should be between 4,000 and 8,000 lumens. The mirror lighting can have the highest value.
When positioning your lighting, consider possible shadowing. We also advise you test the mirror lighting at different times of the day to observe the influence of daylight.
When choosing your lights, be sure to take your personal preferences into account, but also your eyesight and any limitations. Depending on your individual situation and personal preferences, cold or warm light may be more suitable.
The rain shower, the antique dresser as a sink stand or the shelf with select care products: With well thought-out bathroom lighting, you can perfectly stage the highlights in your bathroom. Spotlights draw the eye to decorative elements or furniture.
In minimalist bathrooms, indirect lighting can provide additional excitement: accentuating tile backsplashes, textured walls, or exclusive wallpaper will get the attention they deserve. Colored bathroom lighting in the shower allows you to create a special atmosphere depending on your mood.
A lighting concept for the bathroom should always include multiple lamps for different situations. This way, you can customize your lighting according to functionality, mood, and user group, and tap the full potential of the room.
