When considering a bathroom renovation, you probably think of plumbing fixtures, tiles, and hardware. However, a few electrical enhancements can change the entire look and feel of your bathroom renovation, giving it that luxurious wow factor you're after. Here are Next Electrical's simple, cost-effective electrical tips to give your bathroom that six-star glamorous touch.

1. LED Bathroom Lighting
From LED mirrors to LED strips that highlight tiles and cabinetry, LED lighting truly enhances features in your bathroom. It can showcase stone countertops and feature tiles or simply add ambiance to the space.
2. Heated Towel Rails

Heated towel rails have been around for a while. They add functionality to a bathroom and provide that personal luxurious touch of a warm towel. Today, you can find a wide range of electrically heated towel rails. They come in various styles and finishes, from brushed nickel to brushed brass, and from horizontal to vertical designs. All of these options contribute to the luxurious feeling you desire.

3. Bathroom Feature Lights
Feature lights are a must-have in any space. A simple, elegant pendant, dual-height pendants, or feature wall sconces can add focus and interest to your bathroom, setting it apart from the rest.
4. Solar Lights
At Next Electrical, we love our solar lights. Bathrooms often have low natural light due to smaller windows or south-facing aspects. Hence, a natural solar-powered light that activates with the sun is a logical choice. As distributors of Solar Whiz panels, we have installed them in numerous homes and cannot recommend them enough. Check out solarskylights.com.au for more information.

5. Heated Flooring Mats
A luxurious addition that will change those icy Melbourne mornings for good is electric heated floor mats. These mats go under your tiles and heat your floor with just a flick of a switch. They are economical to run and not only heat the floor but also warm your bathroom. You can find these systems from Thermoset at National Tiles and various other retailers.
6. Electrically Powered Velux Skylight

While skylights remain popular in design, we recommend installing electric-powered openable skylights in bathrooms. These not only provide a window to the sky but also allow steam to rise and naturally ventilate the space. This helps keep your bathroom fresh while bringing in light and a touch of nature.
7. The Old-Fashioned Yet Beloved IXL

An oldie but a goodie, the IXL heat lamp is a warm enhancement for extremely cold winter days. For warmth lovers, it provides a toasty experience after a shower. While IXLs have been around for a long time, they now come in a variety of modern styles that blend seamlessly into any bathroom renovation. Functional, practical, and exceptionally warm, the new heat lamps still add so much to your bathroom throughout the year.

Conclusion
We at Next Electrical & Data hope this helps shine some light on bathroom trends in lighting. We look forward to assisting you with all your bathroom renovations and electrical needs. With these enhancements, your bathroom can transform into a luxurious retreat that you will enjoy for years to come.
