Bathroom Lighting and Mirror Ideas: Planning a Coordinated Scheme

Describe the tasks, then the atmosphere

Think about the light you want for washing, shaving or applying make-up, as well as how you would like the room to feel in the evening. These are useful preferences to share at the consultation. A product photograph alone does not explain how the whole room will be lit.

Choose the mirror with the basin position

Mirror size, furniture width and the way you stand at the basin should be considered together. If you like an illuminated mirror, share its exact product link and dimensions before the wall finish is agreed. We can then discuss the proposed position and the installation work involved.

Consider the finishes around the light

Pale tiles, darker surfaces, metal fittings and the mirror all influence the appearance of a lighting scheme. Bring your samples and inspiration pictures together so the choices can be discussed as a room. Photographs of our installations can show the visible effect, but they are not a lighting specification for another property.

Agree electrical features before the finishes

New lights, an illuminated mirror or electric heating need coordination before the relevant walls and ceilings are finished. The electrical work included in your project is described in the quotation and carried out by the appropriate trade. Suitability and positions are confirmed for the actual room.

Prepare a short lighting wishlist

Note the features you like, any existing dark areas and how you would prefer to use the controls. We can discuss these alongside the room layout at your free home consultation.
