12 of the best bathroom lighting trends for 2024

In 2024, bathroom lighting trends are set to transform into sanctuaries of style and wellness, embracing a plethora of trends to elevate your space into a personalised and serene oasis. Geometric patterns, peachy tones, and darker hues set the tone for interesting and spa-like spaces.

From spa-like amenities and distinct curves to organic elements and energy-efficient light fixtures, 2024’s bathroom lighting trends merge style and wellness seamlessly.

Let’s explore the latest bathroom lighting trends in 2024.

1. Geometric patterns

Geometric wall designs, flooring and home décor features are set to rise in 2024, with a particular focus on herringbone tiles and patterned wallpaper. The combination of patterns with a soft colour palette is the perfect way to add a refreshing element to a serene space. This playful wallpaper speaks to a contemporary and fun design style, which means you can inject your personality into every space in your home.

Our Edison lights are perfect for providing a simple and subtle illumination, allowing distinct, geometric patterns to take centre stage. Available in brass, pewter and copper finishes, this versatile light is the ideal solution to light up the bathroom.

2. Peachy tones

In harmony with Pantone’s Peach Fuzz, the incorporation of peach tones in bathroom spaces will be popular in 2024. In bright spaces peach tones can feel vibrant and energising, whilst maintaining a neutral, calm and relaxing colour in settings with lower lighting. This will help you to create a spa-like sanctuary and a place where you can truly relax and unwind.

Metallics like brass, copper or pewter compliment peachy tones, creating a beautiful summery feel. Install bathroom lighting that incorporates these elements, giving your space a gorgeous, modern look for 2024.

3. Darker tones

If you’re into more daring and dramatic interiors and love creating a moody space, black, deep navy, brown or green are the easiest ways to bring dark colour into the bathroom.

Dark colours are an excellent way to create a feeling of relaxation and intimacy, offering a versatile colour scheme that works with almost any style. Balancing dark tones with lighter and more neutral colours will also give your bathroom a softer look, whilst making a small bathroom look larger.

Even illumination is essential in dark bathrooms as it will avoid making it feel too small or cave-like and will help to create a warm and cosy feel. Combine recessed lighting with bathroom wall lights installed either side of the mirror, to avoid harsh shadows and create a welcoming glow.

Bathroom wall lights provide gentle task lighting that is perfect for adding a warm glow to your evening routine.

4. Steam showers

This year, health and wellness are taking priority. There’s an increased interest in spa-like amenities in bathrooms, with steam showers and chromotherapy lights becoming popular to create a sauna-like experience. Steam showers are shown to contribute to allergy relief, lower blood pressure and better sleep.

All our bathroom lighting is splash-proof and dust-proof (IP44 and IP65 rated), so you can create a steamy sanctuary without the risk of damaging your lights. Bathroom lighting doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice aesthetics and quality, illuminate your bathroom with stunning lights that speak to your personality and style.

5. Textured tiles

A popular feature of 2024 interior design trends, textured tiles are set to rise in bathrooms. These transformative additions are a subtle touch to increase the visual appeal of a space, introducing layers, dimension, and a tactile experience.

6. Bathroom oasis

In 2024 there’s a huge focus on wellbeing, and for bathrooms, incorporating biophilic elements will be popular to bring a sense of nature indoors. Invite the outside in with features like potted plants and hanging gardens. Greenery freshens the air whilst create a calming ambiance.

Warm brassy tones work well with greenery, elevating the natural surroundings through the reflective surface. Layering this lighting with house plants and organic finishes, will help the light fixtures to pop against deep greens whilst creating a tranquil atmosphere. Maximise your bathroom oasis with ambient lighting.
