Transform your bathroom with these shower light ideas
Depending on the size of your shower space, adding lighting can be an inspired way to enhance the overall ambience of your bathroom and boost natural light. Shower lights can also add style and further visual interest to your interior, so are a practical as well as an aesthetically-pleasing addition to any space.
The following blog will subsequently take a look at some shower lighting options, so if you need some inspiration, then read to the end to see what we recommend …
Shower lighting like the Josef Martin Liffey Large LED Wall Light in Chrome can add atmosphere and style to your bathroom.
Recessed downlighting for a stylish shower space
While functionality is, of course, key to shower lighting and you need to be conscious of choosing lights that are designed for use in this area, you can also have fun with lights and get creative. For example, adding LED strip lights along the shower enclosure edges or within recessed shelves is a great way to add subtle illumination and visual interest.
Bathshack customer, Aisling Draine, has done just this in her bathroom, with the shower featuring a recessed shelf or niche which incorporates LED spotlights. This highlights the shelf and makes it into a focal point within the shower, further aided by the use of tiling which contrasts with the rest of the shower space. The main ceiling above the shower also features similar recessed lighting, complementing the natural light coming in through the window.

The LED Satin Chrome Bathroom Ceiling Downlighter and Cool-white Bulb is a round ceiling light which is perfect for adding a modern vibe to your shower space. With a satin-chrome finish it has a luxury look and emits a cool white light which will enhance any shower space.
Contemporary decorative lighting for showers
If you want to add something a bit more visually interesting to your shower, then opting for a decorative style like that of the Forum Spa Crux Three-light Bathroom Light in Satin Brass is ideal. With a warming brushed brass base, this rich tone extends partway up the light fixture, which is composed of three criss-crossing parts with capsule-style bulbs. Perfect for giving your shower a luxury look, this is a stunning light which emits a cool-white glow and will instantly enhance your space. This light is also available in a polished chrome finish, so you can choose your preferred style.
Another example of an eye-catching light, this time with a modern matt black finish, is the Forum Spa Scorpius Three-light Ceiling Spotlight, which allows you to direct the trio of lights in the direction of your choice.
As a result, you can focus light on particular areas within the bathroom and change this around depending on what mood you want to create.
Staying with the matt black style, the Forum Coast Oxford Round LED Flush Light, is a large round light which can be fitted overhead, if you like this contemporary look and want to add it to your bathroom.
With a bright white glow, this energy-efficient light will subsequently provide great illumination for your shower and surrounding area.
Showers with chandeliers
For the ultimate opulent effect, a shower with chandelier lighting will certainly bring a luxury aesthetic to your bathroom. For instance, the Forum Spa Vela Five-light Bath Chandelier in Chrome features a polished chrome base with an elegant chrome frame, complete with swirling ‘branches’ to support the lightbulbs.
The chandelier also includes teardrop-shaped crystals which drop down beneath the bulbs, giving it an ornate aesthetic and the classic style associated with this type of lighting. Reminiscent of something found in a period property this is a stunning light which will add instant glamour to your shower and bathroom.
