Bathroom heating and lighting ideas for your home

By Benjamin Clarke | Published on 18th September 2018

Have you got the bathroom blues? Is it all a bit cold and dim in your wet room? If the answer is ‘yes’ it may be time to brighten up your bathroom. Maybe it is too bright in your bathroom and you want to make your lighting more ambient. You may also want to make sure it is cosy, snug and warm at all times. This article will show you a couple of ideas for inspiration in your bathroom
  • Let there be light
  • Heating up the bathroom
  • Radiators
  • Underfloor heating

Let there be light

What you should be looking for when it comes to bathroom lighting is a contrast between practicality and mood. There is no point in having atmospheric lighting that makes it too dark to be able to shave properly. On the other hand you don’t want the bathroom to be lit too brightly. The key is to direct the light into the areas you need it to be. So you could add a bathroom mirror with lights either side of it so that you can see your face as you apply your mascara. With the light coming from the mirror you should not be affected by shadows and will be able to see yourself properly. The rest of the bathroom could then be lit by a few recessed or frosted lights which will give a nice muted effect. Bathing in diffuse lighting will be more relaxing than the glare you get from an ordinary bulb.

Heating up the bathroom

There are two main options to keep your bathroom nice and warm. They are electric underfloor heating and radiators.

Radiators

Radiators don’t have to be ugly. Add style and warmth to your bathroom with designer radiators. They are a modern, elegant solution to heating your bathroom. If space is tight you might want to look at vertical radiators.

Underfloor heating

Underfloor heating will maintain a constant heat within your bathroom and it means that when you step out of the bath on a cold winter’s morning the floor will be warm. It can also work out to be cheaper than using radiators as it keeps the room warm while using less energy. With the temperature being constant there is no danger of burning yourself and as it is embedded under the floor you can’t trip over it. When you fit lighting and heating in your bathroom make sure that it adheres to safety laws because electricity and water are not the best of friends. If they meet you will get more heat and light than you bargained for.
