Vanity Lighting
Your vanity area is one of the most important places in your bathroom. After all, you perform dozens of tasks here every single day, from shaving and brushing your teeth to putting on makeup and doing your hair. When it comes to your vanity, you want to choose task lighting, which is a focused light source around an area that helps you accomplish tasks. Richards Lighting offers hundreds of vanity lighting options to meet your particular style and tastes. Consider our Four Light Bath for a classic look, or our LED Bath for a great modern feel.
Shower Lighting
You probably use your shower almost every day, so having the right type of lighting can be hugely beneficial, especially if you are half asleep. As one of the most frequent causes of falls, especially in older Americans, shower lighting is super important for safety. Consider recessed lighting for your shower, as it's out of the way. It's best to choose a damp-rated or moisture-rated fixture. You can change up the look and feel of your bathroom recessed lighting by changing out the light bulb style, such as frosted, albalite, and opal. Consider our 4" Traverse or our 6" Flat Glass Shower Trim with Reflector today.
Ceiling Lighting
Almost every bathroom has a ceiling light of some sort, even if they have no other type of bathroom lighting. This is because when light shines down, it covers the greatest area. For your bathroom ceiling lighting, the sky's the limit. You can choose from something very fancy, such as a mini chandelier, to add class and sophistication. Pendant lights add a unique character and flair. Or, flush-mounted lights are great for very traditional decor that melts into the room. Consider our Five Light Chandelier for a classic look to dress up your space, or our One Light Mini Pendant
Accent Lighting
Like the name implies, accent lighting is meant to complement the rest of the lighting in your space, and it primarily serves to create a mood or ambiance you are going for. Accent lighting can be used to highlight an architectural feature, a favorite painting, or to add light around a mirror. Bathroom accent lighting is also great to help eliminate any lingering shadows from your other bathroom lighting. Consider our One Light Accent Lamp to add soft light or our One Light Accent Table Lamp for a beautiful touch.
Ceiling Fan With Light
Many larger bathrooms have room for a ceiling fan with a light. Ceiling fans are great for moving the air around your bathroom, ensuring no stagnant air accumulates. They look great and can serve two functions — adding light and creating a cool breeze to enjoy in the Alabama summers. However, you'll need to be sure your space can accommodate a bathroom ceiling fan because a ceiling fan can overwhelm a smaller bathroom. Our lighting designers recommend you choose a smaller-sized ceiling fan and measure your space before you purchase. Consider our 52" Ceiling Fan with a light or our 56" Ceiling Fan with a light.
Wall Lights
Bathroom wall lights are wonderful additions to your space. They serve mainly to add ambient light unless they are installed near your vanity. They cast out a soft glow that then balances your task lighting and creates a soothing, relaxing vibe. Some of the best choices for wall lights include wall sconces, which can help to illuminate dark corners or a wall torchieres for a unique style all your own. Consider our One Light Wallchiere in golden bronze to create beauty and splendor or our Two Light Wall Sconce for an old world feel.
Skylights
If you are looking to add natural light to your bathroom space, skylights are one of the best ways to do so. Consider installing a skylight above your bath area, so you can stare at the stars while you take a bath and complete your total relaxation after a long day at work. Another benefit of skylights is that you can always see the weather, too.
