Can You Put Pendant Lights in a Bathroom?

Of course, you can and you should! Pendant lights can easily brighten up specific areas or create a luxurious atmosphere in the bathroom. In this article, we’ll explore the best places to hang your pendant lights in the bathroom.

Where to Hang Pendant Lights in the Bathroom

Above the Vanity

One of the most practical spots for pendant lights in a bathroom is above the vanity. They provide focused task lighting, essential for activities like applying makeup, shaving, or skincare routines. You can hang them on either side of the bathroom mirror to provide balanced lighting. 

Our Minimalist Luminous Pendant is a perfect choice for this space. Its exposed frosted bulb is excellent for even light diffusion and glare reduction ideal for brightening spaces that have mirrors. Its sleek figure allows it to provide ample illumination without being visually distracting.

Over the Bathtub

For a spa-like atmosphere, install pendant lights above the bathtub. A vintage piece like our Golden Drop Pendant that is moisture-resistant is ideal for this situation. Plus, its rustic and weathered finish creates a relaxing ambiance, turning a simple soak into a luxurious experience.

In the Bathroom Corner

These versatile fixtures can also be used to brighten up dark bathroom corners. For such spaces, we recommend minimalist pendant lights. They can draw attention to often-overlooked spaces and make the bathroom feel more inviting.

For example, our Sleek Taper Pendant has a narrow and slender build. It provides brightness without being visually obtrusive and can add subtle accents to the bathroom’s overall aesthetics.
