Bathroom Pendant Lights

About

Bathroom lighting must be practical and appropriately specified, but it can also bring character and atmosphere to the room. Our collection of bathroom pendant lights brings together IP-rated designs that provide decorative overhead illumination without overlooking the demands of a bathroom environment. A pendant can create a focal point above a vanity, illuminate a suitable area beside a freestanding bath or add interest to an ensuite.

Our collection includes glass, porcelain and metal designs in a range of forms and finishes. From understated opal shades to industrial well-glass fittings and more expressive contemporary designs, each pendant has been selected for its combination of function, craftsmanship and visual appeal.

They can also draw attention to a particular feature, such as a vanity, freestanding bath or textured wall. In a large bathroom, a pendant can prevent the ceiling from feeling empty and help relate the scale of the lighting to the furniture below. In a smaller room, a compact hanging light can add character without using valuable wall or surface space. Placement is particularly important, however, because the fitting needs to provide sufficient clearance and must be suitable for the bathroom zone. A pendant does not need to provide all the light in the room. It can form part of a layered scheme that includes general ceiling lighting, focused illumination around the mirror and softer light for evenings.
