12 bathroom ceiling lighting ideas to elevate a functional space with designer form

1. OPT FOR A VINTAGE SCHOOLHOUSE LOOK

A glass pendant works perfectly against deep hues walls in a dark bathroom, creating a seamless and soft-focus look.

2. INCORPORATE A RATTAN PENDANT FOR A BOHO BATHROOM

Relax in your very own boho-inspired retreat by adding warm, textural materials like rattan

3. USE METALLICS TO ADD GLAMOR TO MODERN FARMHOUSE STYLING

A sculptural bathroom ceiling light can add an architectural edge to an otherwise rustic space, while a splash of metallics injects the glamor.

4. KEEP IT FLUSH FOR CLEAN LINES AND SMALL BATHROOMS

A flush pendant is the perfect small bathroom idea but can work wonders in any space. 'Lighting should be beautiful and functional no matter what room in the home you are shopping for, and we pride ourselves in offering bathroom lighting that means you’ll never compromise on form for function,' says Rohan Blacker, Founder of Pooky.

5. ADD EDGE TO A GLAMOROUS MARBLE BATHROOM WITH A BLACK BOX PENDANT

Glamorous marble bathroom ideas are a beautiful thing. But if you want to add a little gritty energy to the space, an industrial black pendant is the ideal addition.

6. CHOOSE A CLUSTER OF PENDANT LIGHTS FOR ATMOSPHERIC AMBIENCE

'Selecting lighting for your bathroom is just as important as for your kitchen or home office,' says Claire Wilks, Senior Buyer at Garden Trading.

7. WORK SOFT, FLUID LINES WITH A TEARDROP GLASS PENDANT

A timeless yet modern look, you can never go wrong with glass pendants. The Bulbus style by Pooky (above) adds a contemporary nuance to a classic style, and can be used to add a fluid flow to any style of bathroom.

8. INSTALL A MODERN INDUSTRIAL TAKE ON A BATHROOM CHANDELIER

Toughen up a pretty freestanding tub with an oversized industrial quad pendant, like this statement piece by Davey Lighting. It's a modern take on a chandelier, giving you added drama without any fuss, for a contemporary, clean-lined, no-fuss finish.

9. HANG STATEMENT ART DECO MIRROR LIGHTS FOR A DESIGN-DRIVEN AESTHETIC

While sconces make fantastic bathroom mirror ideas, they certainly aren't the only option. A pair of hanging ceiling lights can offer the practical function needed while also being a strong style focal point that frames the space.

10. GO RETRO AND WHITE FOR A COOL BATHROOM CEILING LIGHT

A white pendant creates the perfect visual statement when paired against a dark wall (in this case, Little Greene's Vulcan).

11. CREATE A COZY ATMOSPHERE WITH A FLUTED FABRIC PENDANT

As the popularity of Cottagecore soared, so did the use of fluted fabric lights – from table lamps and wall sconces to ceiling pendants. And the look is still going strong.

12. LET YOUR POWDER ROOM SHINE UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT

Small bathrooms and powder rooms will need to have enough light to ensure you - we well as your guests - can use the mirror without squinting. Spotlights are a great function to have, and can often be layered with other, softer, lighting so there's a choice for different uses.
