Bathroom lighting is arguably the most underrated part of the whole decor. This doesn’t just go for bathrooms, sadly it’s an all-around-the-house problem. Lighting is not only absolutely essential in any room due to its functional aspect, but it’s also a fantastic means of elevating your decor to something worthy of Architectural Digest’s cover.
As such, choosing the right lighting is absolutely essential. There are various types of lighting out there, however, when it comes to bathroom lighting, the most common models are suspension lights and wall lights. Usually, floor lights aren’t of much use in a bathroom as the light is very concentrated and the floor tends to be humid.

Suspension lights, however, light up the whole room. This could also be accomplished with ceiling lights, but let’s be frank, suspension lights have a lot more pizzazz! In this case, we’re using suspension lights as an umbrella term for any light that’s connected to the ceiling, but not stuck to it, like, for example, a plafonier would be.
Wall lights, on the other hand, are – as you might’ve guessed – connected to a wall. They’re typically used to illuminate specific pieces in your bathroom, such as a bathtub or a vanity. This is a great opportunity to spruce up your bathroom decor, as objects on walls are a lot more noticeable than objects above eye level – a common fact, crucial for marketers and main characters in action films.
Now that we have reviewed all the prerequisites for this class, here are our top picks for luxurious bathroom lighting:
