Projects
07 Mar 2019
When customer and lifestyle blogger Claire got in touch proposing a collaboration we thought, ‘What better person to pair up with?’ Claire is the author of the wonderful blog, ‘The Green Eyed Girl’ and her proposed project was the renovation of an existing ensuite bathroom that, despite being functional, was lacking personality and style. This update demonstrates perfectly how, with a few well considered tweaks, a stunning space can be created!
Lighting played a key role in the transformation, with Claire opting for the Upton Clear Glass Swan Neck Bathroom Wall Lights from Fritz Fryer. These fixtures added timeless elegance and provided a warm, flattering glow making it perfect for the bathroom’s vanity area. Their IP44 rating made them an excellent choice for the bathroom, as they are specifically designed to handle moisture and splashes, ensuring both safety and durability in a wet environment.
In addition to the lighting, the bathroom’s design was further elevated with beautiful hardware from Rowen and Wren and stunning tiles from Porcelanosa. The result was a cohesive and stylish space that combined functionality with a sense of calm, timeless charm.
This collaboration highlights how the right lighting, paired with thoughtful design choices, can transform any bathroom into a safe, stylish, and inviting space.
To help inspire our readers planning their own bathroom renovations, here are some key tips on lighting design for bathrooms:
- Vanity Area Lighting: Consider placing wall lights on either side of your mirror for even, shadow-free illumination, perfect for daily grooming tasks.
- Shower/Bath Area Lighting: Use IP44-rated downlights to ensure safety and durability in wet zones. These lights are water-resistant and ideal for creating bright, functional spaces.
- Ambient Lighting: Add dimmable ceiling lights to create a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere for unwinding at the end of the day.
Using IP44-rated fixtures is especially important in bathrooms to maintain safety and longevity, particularly in zones close to water sources. Thoughtful lighting choices not only enhance the functionality of a space but also elevate its overall style. Read more about IP44 lighting here.
