Lighting Tips That Make a Huge Difference in Your Bathroom

Lighting can seriously make or break a bathroom. You can have the prettiest tile and the dreamiest vanity—but if the lighting is off, the whole vibe just feels… meh. Here’s the goal: soft, flattering, and functional. I always recommend adding layers of light. Overhead lighting is great, but it’s not enough on its own. You’ll want vanity lighting that doesn’t cast shadows on your face (because no one wants scary mirror lighting at 7 a.m.). Add a dimmer switch if you can—it’s perfect for late-night baths or early mornings when you don’t want to be blinded. And don’t be afraid to make a statement! A gorgeous light fixture can add so much personality to the space. Pretty and practical? Yes, please.
