Bathroom Lighting Design
Lighting can make or break a bathroom. We plan layers: soft ceiling light, bright, even light at the mirror, task and accent lights, and dimmers and switches placed where you will actually use them, with fixtures rated for the room.
Best when
- Your bathroom feels dim or harsh
- You do your hair or shave at the mirror
- You want a spa glow in the evening
- You are updating the room's style
The parts that make the difference.
Mirror light
Sconces or lit mirrors at face height remove shadows and flatter skin tones.
Ambient light
Recessed or flush fixtures sized for the room and placed to avoid glare.
Shower and tub light
Damp- or wet-rated fixtures where water is present.
Control
Dimmers and separate switches for day, evening and night.

Questions about this service.
What bulbs are best for a bathroom?
Warm to neutral white bulbs with good color rendering make skin look natural. We suggest a color temperature that fits your room.
Do I need special fixtures in the shower?
Fixtures in or over a shower need to be rated for damp or wet locations. We choose and install the right ones.
Can you add lighting without opening walls?
Sometimes. Surface-mounted and wall-mounted lights can be added with limited work, and we look at your ceiling and walls to see what is possible.
