If you’re not sure on design but you know you want something contemporary, our modern bathroom lighting collection should help you find the precise look you need. Whether you’re looking for sleek chrome, minimalist glass or futuristic shapes, this is a great place to start when choosing your bathroom lighting for a modern aesthetic.

Prefer the traditional look? This style of lighting design covers a variety of looks and finishes, characterised by opulent detailing, stained glass and classic metals like brass and copper. Investigate the lighting in this collection if you want to create a stylishly-old-fashioned aesthetic in your bathroom, rather than something sleek and modern.

If you know you specifically want a hanging light in your bathroom, a pendant light is the perfect choice. Ideal for bathrooms with high ceilings and plenty of space, a pendant light can make a fantastic central room statement or a great way to draw focus to room features such as a bath or sink unit. Be sure to check IP ratings and ceiling heights before choosing your light if you’re installing above water sources. Jump ahead to our IP rating section below for more help on this.

Downlights and spotlights are highly popular choices for bathroom lighting due to their compact, barely-there design, easy maintenance and suitability for wet environments. Whether set flush into the ceiling or attached to a track, these lights make ideal choices for small bathrooms or those looking to achieve a contemporary finish.

Ideal for bathrooms with low ceilings and less available space, wall lights are a popular and versatile option when choosing bathroom lighting. Available in both modern and traditional styles, bathroom wall lights are well suited to bathroom installations and work especially well when placed above bathroom mirrors as a combination of both task and accent lighting.

If you’re looking to create an extra level of grandeur and statement design in your bathroom, a chandelier might just be the perfect choice. These do take up a large amount of space due to their size and hanging design, so they are best suited to larger bathrooms with high ceilings. These make great central room statements for any opulent bathroom design, providing astonishing brightness and sparkle for a blend of modern and traditional style.

All providing very similar aesthetics, these cool-metal finishes make ideal choices for modern bathrooms. If you want something that will work with any colour scheme and provide a light, bright feel, then chrome, silver, aluminium and stainless steel lighting finishes are complete no-brainers.

Better suited to traditional-style bathrooms, copper and brass finishes create warm, glowing aesthetics with a stylish, old-fashioned feel. Choose copper and brass bathroom lights to create charming, opulent or industrial-chic styling in your bathroom.

Crystal bathroom lighting adds glamour and opulence, while glass bathroom lighting can create a modern, minimalist aesthetic, depending on the design you choose. Glass and crystal help reflect and intensify the light from your bulbs, creating a brighter, dazzling space to enjoy.

If you simply need some general lighting for day-to-day use, your best choice would be a classic bathroom ceiling light or a series of downlights. These will create an even spread of light across the entire room and create an inviting, comfortable ambience for everyday access and general bathroom use. 

Bathroom vanity lighting is often a necessary supplement to your general lighting and is needed for tasks such as shaving and applying makeup. The most common form of bathroom vanity lighting is a mirror light or cabinet light, which provides bright light combined with a mirror and storage for convenience.

Like vanity lighting, any decorative or accent bathroom lighting is purely there to supplement your main light source for aesthetic reasons. You can add LED light strips to the undersides of cabinets or units for a modern glow, or you can install downward-facing wall lights above mirrors or pictures for added ambience.
