It may not be the most important room in your house, but the guest bath still plays a meaningful role in your home. Don’t let this small space get overlooked. After all, a well-appointed guest bath is more than just a way to ensure that your friends and family have the best experience. It’s also an opportunity to try something a little different or bolder since you won’t be looking at it every day. Guest baths are also the perfect place to get a little fun and creative with light fixtures and décor that you might not want to expose to daily use. Update your guest bath with a recessed light conversion that will really steal the spotlight!

 

Cast Your Guests in the Best Light

Overhead can lights give off an intense, direct light that creates unflattering shadows with harsh edges. Using our recessed light conversion kit, you can easily replace your existing recessed lighting with a wide variety of bathroom light fixture styles. Here, we’ll go over a few of our favorite guest bath lighting design ideas for use with our recessed light conversion kits.

1. Create a Calming and Relaxing Atmosphere with Pendant Lights

Functional lighting that is also attractive is easy to achieve with our recessed light conversion kit. One of our favorite looks is the soft, warm glow of a diffused hanging pendant. Pendant lights come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. They can also be hung at different levels, giving you even more control over the light.

Pendant lights are a particularly good choice for a recessed light conversion because while they still provide targeted light, they are much more suited to the small space of a guest bath. Hanging lights can also work well in combination with other bathroom fixtures such as wall sconces to create layers of lighting for a more balanced and comfortable ambiance.

 

2. Delight Your Guests with a Visually Appealing Flush Mount Uplight

Want to illuminate your guest bath with a more dramatic look? Our recessed light conversion kit can be used to transform an ordinary recessed light into an extraordinary flush mount uplight that will really make the space shine! Afterall, there is no sense in feeling stuck with a light fixture you don’t like.

Flush mount ceiling lights are easily installed with our recessed light conversion kit and are a wonderful addition to any guest bath. Instantly add style, brighten dark corners, and bathe the room in light without the severe downlighting of a recessed light. Unlike pendant lights, flush mount lights offer the benefit of being low-profile. This is great for guest baths with lower ceilings and can help you feel confident that your recessed light conversion will physically fit the space well.

3. Inject Style and Add a Special Touch with a Sparkling Chandelier

Whether it’s centered on the ceiling or installed over your vanity, a small chandelier can add a pop of sparkle to your guest bath. Even the drabbest looking guest baths can become glamorous when you use our recessed light conversion kit to turn an old can light into a shiny new chandelier.

Like pendant lights, chandeliers offer the benefit of being to be hung at different heights, letting you create exactly the lighting effect you want. Chandeliers come in a wide variety of design aesthetics from modern to traditional. They can be more functional and minimalist in design or provide a dramatic focal point for your guest bath. Whatever style you choose, our recessed light conversion kits are sure to add a bit of unexpected flair to your décor.
