Creating a Sleek and Functional Bathroom Space with Ambient Lighting

When our client approached us for a bathroom renovation in Leeds, the goal was clear: to design a sleek, modern bathroom that combined cutting-edge functionality with clean aesthetics. They envisioned a space with elegant ambient lighting, minimal glare, and no unsightly bezels. By collaborating closely with the client, we went beyond their initial ideas, offering innovative solutions to achieve a harmonious and user-friendly environment.

Project Objectives

  • Create a modern bathroom design with ambient lighting that enhances the space without glare.
  • Incorporate practical, energy-efficient features, including underfloor heating and motion-sensor lighting.
  • Ensure all elements, from fans to wall chargers, integrate seamlessly into the decor.

Rethinking the Lighting Design

The client initially wanted an LED light square in the ceiling. However, we suggested an alternative approach that better utilised the natural angles of the room. By integrating the LED strips along the walls’ edges, we achieved:

  • A softer, more evenly distributed glow.
  • Enhanced visual interest, complementing the room’s sleek aesthetics.
  • Elimination of glare and unsightly bezels.

Night-Time Sensor Lighting

For convenience during the night, we installed background lighting controlled by a motion sensor. This provides a soft, warm glow that’s gentle on the eyes, ensuring the user isn’t startled awake by harsh light.

Underfloor Heating Installation

Comfort was a priority for this project. We installed energy-efficient underfloor heating, ensuring the space remains cosy even on the coldest days.

Modern Ventilation

To maintain the bathroom’s sleek look, we sourced and installed a black run-on timer fan that seamlessly matched the décor. This ensures proper ventilation without compromising style.
