WC Renovation: the 4 best luminaires to properly light your toilets

Key steps to renovate your toilets

Before integrating a modern toilet light fixture, it is essential to carefully plan each step of your renovation project. Careful preparation of the floor and walls, with a judicious choice of tiles, paint or wall covering, will create an aesthetic and easy-to-maintain base.

The choice of furniture plays a central role in the functionality and style of your toilets. Opt for elements adapted to the room’s configuration: wall-hung toilets, small sink, compact storage cabinet, etc. From this stage, it is crucial to anticipate the locations and types of lighting fixtures needed. Good toilet lighting improves both practicality and the room’s atmosphere.

Once the layout is defined, it is time to explore the four types of toilet lighting fixtures to integrate for a complete and functional renovation. From ceiling lights to LED strips, each light source has a specific role to play.

1. The toilet ceiling light: central and discreet lighting

To ensure homogeneous light in a small space, the toilet ceiling light remains the most practical solution. This type of lighting offers excellent visibility without cluttering the space, while integrating discreetly into the ceiling. Ideal for small rooms, it provides a valuable space saving and fits perfectly with modern toilets.

LED models are highly recommended: their reduced consumption and warm white light provide immediate visual comfort. To discover a complete selection, browse our collection of toilet ceiling lights.

2. Recessed spot and wall sconce

In a space as confined as toilets, a wall toilet light fixture provides precise complementary lighting while creating a refined atmosphere. Whether to illuminate a decorative shelf, highlight a mirror, or emphasize a wall niche, this type of directional light is particularly suitable.

For a discreet and contemporary look, the TOD recessed spot stands out with its compact design and adjustable light. As a sconce, the MONCEAU wall light is ideal: elegant and streamlined, it fits perfectly into a refined renovation. This duo proves perfect for a toilet wall light fixture that is both functional and decorative.

3. The mirror light: functional daily lighting

Essential in any toilet renovation with a basin or storage unit, the light placed above the mirror greatly improves daily comfort of use. By providing frontal light, it avoids unsightly shadows on the face and facilitates all care or makeup tasks.

The CIRC Wall model stands out as an elegant and practical solution. This light above toilet cabinet combines homogeneous diffusion with a streamlined finish, ideal for small spaces. Its LED technology and warm light ensure optimal visual comfort, while integrating discreetly into contemporary decor.

4. The LED strip: modern and original solution

Perfect for adding a contemporary touch to your toilet renovations, the LED strip offers a discreet and stylish light source. This toilet lighting idea allows you to create varied atmospheres while maintaining a simple and unobtrusive installation.

The LED strip can be positioned under a shelf, at the base or behind a mirror to enhance volumes and create soft indirect light. Complementing central lighting, it brings an elegant and controlled atmosphere, ideal for a modern toilet light fixture that is both decorative and functional.

How to properly combine lighting fixtures for an optimal result?

A toilet ceiling light fixture is not always enough to cover all lighting needs in a small space. For a successful atmosphere, it is recommended to combine several light sources according to their function: general lighting such as a ceiling light, functional lighting with spots or a sconce, and ambient lighting via a discreet LED strip.

For example, you can combine a central ceiling light with the MONCEAU Mini sconce to illuminate a specific area, and complete with an LED strip placed under a shelf for a subtle decorative effect. This play of layered lights optimizes visibility while adding depth to the room.
