What is the most suitable light temperature for a bathroom?
Light temperature is the color the human eye perceives in light, which ranges from warm to cool, depending on whether yellow or blue is dominant, respectively.
Warm light produces light between 3,000 K and 4,000 K, which is comfortable and private, perfect for relaxing areas such as bathtubs or shower areas.
Neutral light or natural light is ideal for ambient lighting in bathrooms and produces light of around 6,000 K. However, the use of cold light is not recommended in residential projects or bathrooms, as it reduces the cozy atmosphere created.

What type of light is best?
It is recommended to combine different types of light, create different areas in the room and enjoy an atmosphere full of nuances. For bathrooms we can choose to combine these types of lights:
Small bathroom lighting can simply employ the use of a general ambience light and another light for the dresser. For larger bathrooms, we can use a light for each area.
How to brighten a windowless bathroom
In a windowless bathroom, you want to make sure the lighting is even, mimics natural light as much as possible, and doesn't create shadows. How? Achieve perfect ambient lighting by installing multiple ceiling lights distributed throughout the room. We recommend using a neutral bulb around 4000K.
If space permits, you can also add some indirect lighting, which will give your windowless bathroom lighting a lovely warm feel. Built-in lighting will give you a warm, relaxing atmosphere.
Indirect accent lighting provides a great way to illuminate specific areas, such as the washbasin area. Use these light spots to highlight different areas and make your bathroom stand out. The result will be completely unique.
How to illuminate a small windowless bathroom
If size is limited, then the right bathroom layout and design is key to making the most of the space you have.
In addition to layout and design, using white or other light tones in the color scheme will brighten up a small bathroom with no windows or little natural light.
Try using ceiling lighting to get the light levels your mirror needs without taking up valuable space. You can even choose a mirror with integrated lighting for a polished effect.
Bathroom mirror lighting
Our mirrors feature built-in lights that add brightness and comfort to the washbasin area.
Among the options we have mirrors with built-in spotlights and mirrors with peripheral lighting that serve as accent lighting and greatly highlight this area of the bathroom.
Our mirrors are equipped with LEDs that last longer than standard light bulbs and use up to 80% less energy while still emitting the same amount of light.
How to light a dark bathroom
If the bathroom is dark, either because the dimensions do not allow light to be provided to it, or there are no windows, or the chosen decor is dark, there are several ways to brighten it and make it look brighter and more pleasant.
Hide lights elegantly
Hidden light bulbs are an excellent choice for a simple, clean and elegant decoration of the bathroom, while being functional and providing the brightness we need. We can hide bulbs behind sinks or on the sides of furniture with LED strips.
This indirect light will create a warm and minimalist atmosphere.
Add a large mirror
Large mirrors in the bathroom can reflect a lot of light, creating the effect of a larger, brighter bathroom.
Add spotlight
Spotlights are a great choice to bring light into the bathroom in an indirect way and without obstructing the view with pendant lamps. They create the effect of a wide ceiling, and you can use the color of the spotlights to create a different atmosphere.
