Bathroom lighting placement is important for safety and usability. In larger bathrooms, general and task lighting is needed. Accent lighting may also be needed to highlight art or design features of the bathroom. It is important to have lighting over the mirror, vanity, shower, whirlpool, toilet, and dressing area.

In this bathroom, recessed lights and an overhead fixture provide general illumination. Wall sconces are placed on either side of the bathroom mirror as well as above it to illuminate the mirror for grooming.
