Renovating Design Dilemma Bathrooms

Bathroom - pendant lighting

5 years ago

Hello

I having my bathroom renovated, most bathrooms have downlights but I'm thinking of having pendant lighting instead ( ones which are suitable for bathrooms - if they exist ) and perhaps a couple of wall lights by the mirror.

What are your views on pendant lighting in the bathroom? Yes or No?

A yes from me if you've got the ceiling height :) They are however quite difficult to find although I haven't looked for quite a while. You may also want downlights to light up other areas and maybe wire to more than one switch. I haven't read it but I did spot an article on houzz yesterday which may or may not help

Actually I've just looked in your ideabook and it may be worth looking at Davey lighting (originalBTC Website). I think as they were originally marine light makers most of their lights are IP20 or IP44 rated

Hi Sana We have created bespoke lighting solutions for people in the past. Yours is a tricky set up and depends where the power source comes from but perhaps a bar suspended across the lantern with pendants hanging from it is an option. Or a lengthy bar across the whole island that also goes across the gap. Email some photos to sales@nigeltyas.co.uk if you want us to take a look at it for you. Our range of ceiling lights and pendants are on the website so adpating something to suit your arrangement is usually possible as we manufacture everything to order. Best wishes Gareth

Do you have a dining table in the same open plan space - if so, I'd hang a pendant above the dining table and not have any above the peninsula. I saw something someone recently said (controversially) about lights above islands/peninsulas looking like warming lamps and now I can't un-see that. You might find that a recessed spot in the ceiling (assuming you have some of these planned already for the rest of the kitchen) lights up the peninsula just fine and you don't need any pendants dangling down and getting in your face. In a normal-sized kitchen/diner I'd only have pendants above island/peninsula or dining table, not both - and preference would almost always be above dining table.

Bathstores and Wayfair online, there are pendant and chandelier lighting especially made for bathrooms. Pendants look nice if you have a high ceiling. You need to check the zones where you can safely add bathroom lights without water being too close.Bathroom Lighting styles
