Master Bathroom Ceiling Lighting

We've combed through our Livingetc archives and gorgeous design projects and pulled out the best bathroom lighting ideas we could find.

With everything from traditional chandeliers, gothic orbs, lanterns and candle-like sconces to on-trend fluted glass wall lights, industrial style pendants and Art Deco inspired lighting, these stylish spaces are laden with great bathroom lighting inspiration.

For something ultra slick, recessed lighting thats glows from behind marble tiles looks clean and chic, as the second bathroom below will show you. Designer Harriet Anstruther addedsome funk to a shower room with neon mood lighting.

For something a little more eclectic, we love the colourful lampshades in Studio Peake's bathroom design (third one down), which gives the bathroom more of an English country home vibe (Matilda Goad shades would also look lovely and unexpected in a bathroom).

Looking for bathroom lighting ideas to illuminate your bathroom mirror? If you have a fully mirrored walls, you could punctuate through the marble with a wall-mounted design, as shown in the sixth image below. Got a traditional wall mirror? Light it from above, or with wall sconces either side for a traditional look. Fluted glass wall lights will give the space a retro Art Deco vibe, while bulb lighting around a mirror creates a glam Hollywood dressing room effect.
