THE key to good bathroom lighting is flexibility, because the bright light required for shaving or applying make-up is not the soft, relaxing light you need to enjoy a soak in the tub.

As long as they’re suitable for the zone they’re in (see below), recessed spotlights on a dimmer switch are a good solution.

Wall lights can also be bright, task lighting, especially around the basin, or soft lighting when you don’t want the ceiling light on.
