With the furnishings and finishes to one side, it's time to take a look at Victorian bathroom lighting ideas. Traditional bathroom lighting ideas for Victorian bathrooms include chandeliers, Art Deco style lights and chrome bathroom lights to name a few.

We delve into some beautiful lighting ideas to adorn the ceiling of your Victorian bathroom. Whilst keeping in line with the charm and style of this popular interior design era.

Chandeliers

Chandeliers work perfectly in big bathrooms as they light the room with presence and gravitas. Ornate and intricate, they add a focal point to a Victorian bathroom.

During the Victorian Era, chandeliers dictated a social order for the aristocracy. The detail of the design, what they were made of, and the size determined how much gravitas a person had.

Our LED candle bulbs look beautiful in an ornate chandelier. The bulbs pictured below are ideal as chandelier bulbs. The T-shape spiral filament and amber colour give this a wonderfully vintage look. Adding character and charm to the room.

Wall Lights

Well distributed wall lights are a fantastic way to light a Victorian style bathroom. To provide a good level of lighting, we recommend layering the lighting with the use of downlights to give depth and ambience.

Downlights

Downlights are a great all rounder for a Victorian bathroom. They offer well distributed light and they are suitably IP rated for a bathroom.

Whilst they are not the most traditional lighting style for Victorian bathrooms, opting for brass, copper and chrome well help to keep in line with the popular metals of this era.

Glass Pendant Lights

Pendant lights look beautiful hanging from a ceiling in a Victorian home. Victorian ceilings are often incredibly intricate with architectural detailing and mouldings. Because of this, pendant lights are a great choice as they allow for upward lighting, creating an airy, social and light space.

The Schoolhouse Collection is simply breathtaking, whilst retaining its vintage authenticity, perfectly styled for the Victorian era.

These pendant lights come with some clout, so you will need a large bathroom to accommodate them.
