When it comes to creating the perfect well-lit bathroom, mirror lighting is an increasingly popular way of achieving the ideal illumination. Whether it’s installing LED mirrors with built-in lighting or strategically positioned wall lights on either side of the mirror, the secret to flattering lighting is easier than you might think.
To find out more about bathroom mirror lights read to the end of the blog for an overview, along with some inspiration for your own bathroom.
Mirror lights can enhacne your bathroom style as well as adding ambience and functionality.
Bathroom mirror lights serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. Functionally, they provide illumination for everyday tasks such as shaving, applying makeup and simply getting ready for the day while aesthetically, they contribute to the ambiance of your bathroom and can enhance the overall design.
There are various types of bathroom mirror lights, including:
Overhead lights: These are installed directly above the mirror and provide general illumination for the entire bathroom space. They can be recessed into the ceiling or mounted on a surface.
Wall sconces: Sconces are fixtures mounted on the wall beside the mirror. They can provide additional lighting and add a decorative touch to your bathroom.
Lighted mirrors: Some mirrors come with built-in LED lighting around the edges or behind the mirror surface which provide even illumination and are particularly useful when applying makeup and shaving.
Vanity lights: Vanity lights are fixtures mounted directly on or around the mirror. They come in various styles, such as strips of LED lights or individual bulbs and can be customised to suit different design preferences.
When choosing your bathroom mirror lights, always consider what’s best for your bathroom and your specific needs, as well as personal design preferences. This includes factors such as the size of the mirror, the overall style of your bathroom, the desired level of brightness and energy efficiency. For example, if eco-friendly lighting is important to you then LED lights are best in this regard and they also last longer than regular bulbs so are more economical.
A popular way to acquire the ideal ambient lighting in your bathroom is to invest in an eco-friendly LED mirror, which will add instant illumination and help to enhance any natural light in the space. With a wide range of sizes and designs available, you can easily choose something which suits your style and complements the size of your bathroom, whether it’s large or more compact.
For instance, if you have a bigger bathroom, then something like the Stream Bluetooth LED Mirror is ideal, as this large rectangular mirror will add a distinctive feature on the wall. With a minimalist aesthetic, it comes with built-in LED lighting around the perimeter of the glass and can be hung in either portrait or landscape style.
Operated by a handy touch sensor, the Stream mirror further comes with Bluetooth connectivity, along with other features like a shaver socket and demister pad to keep the glass clear.
If you prefer a more circular style, however, then the Brushed Brass Round Frame Mirror with Colour-change is another large mirror, this time with an elegant brushed brass frame and two choices of light. Featuring a cool and warm-white option for the LED lighting, this mirror lets you create the ambience you want for the room, with each offering high-quality illumination at the touch of a sensor.
The Brushed Brass Round Frame Mirror with Colour change gives you the option of warm and cool-white LED lighting.
For the smaller bathroom, LED mirrored cabinets are another option to consider, as these space-saving products provide a mirror, lighting and inside storage space so are multi-functional. The Bella LED Single-door Cabinet and Shaver in Matt Silver, for example, has a single soft-close door which conceals two adjustable glass shelves inside for storage. It also has that all-important energy-efficient LED lighting, activated by a handy sensor on the glass, which provides high-quality lighting which is perfect for getting ready by.
The Bella cabinet also comes with an integrated shaver socket for further convenience and will be a welcome addition to any bathroom.
Another option for mirror lights is to add wall lighting, either beside or above the mirror. The Forum Spa Corvus Twin LED Wall Light in Satin Brass can be fitted above a plain mirror and comes with a handy pull-string to operate. With two energy-efficient bulbs it provides high-quality lighting which will elevate your bathroom.
If you prefer side lights, then the Josef Martin Coquet LED Wall Light in Chrome can be fitted on either side of your mirror to provide suitable lighting. With a stylish chrome finish, this light will complement a range of décor, while the glass lamp has an attractive Opal Etched finish.
The Austen Single Wall Light in Polished Chrome is another great wall light option and has a large round bulb with that classic chrome base which immediately draws the eye. Placed beside your bathroom mirror, this light will deliver ample illumination while also being an attractive accessory for your bathroom.
