Vanity lighting is the cornerstone of a well-lit bathroom—providing essential task lighting and a touch of decorative elegance. For a classic look, opt for over-mirror or side-mounted sconces. For a modern feel, consider recessed mud-in fixtures, decorative pendants, or integrated LED mirror lighting. In our examples, we feature Luminii’s Clareo Wall S (vertical and horizontal applications), Kendo M (direct and indirect mirror surrounds), and Linii (for a sleek, recessed finish)—all with frosted lens options for soft, even illumination.

Toe-kick lighting brings a refined, contemporary feel to residential spaces while offering functional low-level illumination. For a bold, bright look, direct toe-kicks deliver clean lines of light. Prefer a softer approach? Indirect toe-kicks minimize glare on glossy bathroom floors and enhance millwork details. For outdoor applications, grazing toe-kicks offer dramatic, far-reaching light—perfect for water features or hardscapes without overpowering the night landscape. We recommend Luminii’s Kendo S Surface in damp or wet-rated versions, including a graze lens for added effect.

Design spa-like bathrooms your clients will love with modern recessed linear lighting that enhances self-care routines and complements vanity lighting. Skip traditional downlights for a clean, contemporary look using recessed mud-in solutions. For built-in wall shelves or vertical wall pockets with accent lighting, we recommend Luminii’s wet-rated Optic Arts Kurba for curved applications, or the wet-rated Kendo M and Myka Surface linear fixtures for straight lines. In recessed mud-in installations, Luminii’s static or tunable white Linii trimless solution delivers a sleek, modern finish—perfect for ceilings, vertical walls, or wall-to-ceiling transitions. To accent natural stone or brick in bath areas, Senso by Luminii’s IP & IK-rated Trident ingrade linear lighting offers durable, elegant illumination.

Sauna lighting should be soft, warm, and calming—using direct illumination that complements the tranquil environment without harsh brightness. Safety is paramount in high-heat, high-humidity spaces, so choosing the right fixtures is essential. Luminii offers a discreet, minimalist aesthetic for these settings. For ceiling installations, we recommend the wet-rated Senso by Luminii Rain display light, while the Optic Arts by Luminii Kurba sauna-rated bendable strip light provides ideal indirect accent lighting designed specifically for sauna environments.
