Brighten Your Bathroom With These Quick Switches
If you’re like most people, your bathroom lighting leaves much to be desired – windows are limited making your bathroom dark, dull, and dim. But the right lighting doesn’t just help you see better—it makes your space feel brighter, bigger, and more thoughtfully designed. With these quick switches, you don’t need to call in an electrician to make a big difference.
A well-lit bathroom usually combines three types of lighting: ambient (overall room lighting), task (focused lighting for specific activities), and accent (soft lighting that adds mood or highlights features). For ambient lighting, consider plug-in ceiling fixtures or bright LED bulbs in your main overhead light. For task lighting, plug-in wall sconces or battery-operated vanity lights placed near your mirror help illuminate your face evenly—perfect for makeup, shaving, or just not being startled first thing in the morning. And for accent lighting, try stick-on LED strips under shelves or vanities, or reposition a small lamp to add a cozy glow that makes the space feel warm and inviting.
Bonus Tip: Don’t underestimate the power of the right bulb. Warm LED bulbs can soften the space, making it feel more spa-like, while dimmers let you dial in the vibe—from bright and functional in the morning to calm and cozy at night. Bonus: better lighting makes all those beautiful tile details and finishes shine even more.
