Bathroom lighting ideas for mirrors: Brighten up your vanity
Whether you have good natural lighting in your bathroom or are a bit wanting in this regard, having additional illumination around your vanity area is always good for helping you get ready, morning or night. Indeed, using lights on either side of mirrors, or overhead, can create the perfect lighting for shaving or applying make-up and will complement whatever natural lighting you do have. It can also just help to create a more relaxing ambience in your bathroom.
The following blog will subsequently provide some inspiration for lighting ideas round your vanity unit which will add extra illumination and style up the space to make it both practical and inviting. Read to the end to find out what we recommend …
The Forum Zinc Leto Up/Down Wall Light in Black will add modern style to your vanity area.
Get creative with wall-mounted lighting
For a modern aesthetic, matt black lights are a great idea as they have a contemporary style which will give your bathroom a chic edge, while also complementing a wide range of décor. For example, the Forum Zinc Leto Up/Down Wall Light in Black combines a modern design with its sleek cylindrical shape and has an elegant appeal. You can also direct the lights as preferred, having them completely downward-facing or positioned upwards.
If you have a double vanity area, as pictured above, then you can fit multiple lights onto the wall, on either side of your mirrors, to ensure the perfect illumination.
Another great lighting option for your vanity area is the Josef Martin Addislade Three-light LED Over Mirror Light. With a goose-neck arm in a polished chrome finish, this light fitting is composed of a trio of attractive opal-etched glass lampshade-style lights which have a modern squared-off design and bevelled corners for added detail.
This handmade light will instantly elevate your vanity area and give it a classic look with a contemporary twist, delivering energy-efficient LED lighting which will immediately brighten up your space.

Another chrome option, this one with a sleeker, more contemporary design, is the Josef Martin Liffey Large LED Wall Light, which has a polished chrome arm extending above and below the light. This creates an elongated shape and draws the eye vertically, creating an elegant aesthetic with lots of modern style.
The light itself, meanwhile, is made from etched glass and has a curved front which softens the overall look of the light.

The Austin Single Wall Light in Polished Chrome has a traditional-style arm combined with a more contemporary globe-shaped glass light.
For a more globe-shaped style, the Austin Single Wall Light in Polished Chrome is an inspired choice, as it has a large round design which looks great paired with a circular mirror, as pictured below. Again, this is another light with a chrome arm and base, which means it will complement a wide range of décor, while the globe light is made from smooth clouded glass.
With high-quality energy-efficient LED light, this is a product which will provide ample illumination around your vanity area – and it combines a classic and modern style which will bring a subtle opulence to your bathroom.
Another stylish wall light which will complement your vanity space and look great mounted beside your bathroom mirror is the Josef Martin Burwell Large LED Wall Light in Chrome. With a rectangular polished chrome wall bracket featuring bevelled edges, this adds visual interest and texture to the light, which has a cylindrical shape and is supported by a single detailed chrome arm.
The Josef Martin Burwell Large LED Wall Light in Chrome has a rectangular chrome wall bracket and a cylindrical-shaped light.
If you prefer a single overhead mirror light with the traditional pull-string style, then the Forum Spa Corvus Twin LED Wall Light fits the brief perfectly and is available in both a polished chrome and satin-brass finish. With a satin-brass wall bracket and curved neck, the two cylindrical-shaped lights subsequently attach horizontally to this, with brass strip detailing in the centre. A cord then extends from underneath for conveniently switching the light on and off.
The Corvus Twin Wall Light from Forum Spa is also available in a polished chrome finish so you can pick your preferred style and match it to your bathroom décor if you like this look.
