Thoughtfully placed bathroom and kitchen lighting can change how you use your home with sharper grooming in the mirror and safer meal prep at the stove. Mr. Electric is here to provide dependable lighting services for local property owners. If you’re planning a refresh or starting from scratch, keep reading for tips on getting your lighting project off to a successful start.
Lighting in bathrooms and kitchens needs precise visibility for tasks that demand attention to detail. In the kitchen, sharp knives and hot surfaces make clear sightlines a must. Poor lighting raises the risk of burns, cuts, or accidents around appliances. A shadowy vanity area can lead to mistakes with razors or cosmetics, and dim overhead lights near the shower can be a serious safety risk. Overhead lights give brightness, but task lighting focuses on the specific zones where accuracy matters the most. Accent lighting can add some comfort and warmth and prevent a sterile or harsh feel. Motion-sensor nightlights near bathroom floors and under-cabinet lights in kitchens are great examples of how small changes can prevent accidents during low-light hours. When all of these layers work together, you get a room that feels natural and makes everyday actions simpler without even thinking about it.

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service I recently received from your company. From my initial phone call to the completion of the repair, every aspect of the experience was exemplary. The representative I spoke with was not only incredibly helpful in scheduling an appointment promptly – my kitchen outlet had inexplicably stopped working, causing considerable inconvenience – but also demonstrated a thorough understanding of my situation. Their professionalism and efficiency immediately put me at ease. The electrician who arrived at my home was equally impressive. They took the time to explain the problem clearly and concisely, patiently answering all my questions despite my limited knowledge of electrical systems. This detailed explanation allowed me to fully understand the necessary repairs and the process involved. Their expertise and calm demeanor were truly reassuring. In short, I was deeply impressed by the overall professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness of every individual I interacted with. The entire experience was seamless and stress-free, a rarity these days. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your company to anyone requiring electrical services, and I will certainly be using your services again in the future.
I finally made the switch from gas to electric and bought myself a Tesla. The home charger was expensive (I went with level 2) and called Mr Electric to do the install. They were overall great, came the same day to give me an estimate the price seemed reasonable so I went ahead and signed their work order on an iPad the gentleman had. They told me they could start the work the next day, that was unexpected but nice, as I am excited to be able to use my home charger finally. Once they finished the work they provided the permit information and all. I was very pleased and my charger is now in my garage working perfectly. Thank you Galen and Cris for prompt and professional service, that isn’t always the case and it is much appreciated.
My electric garage door stopped working suddenly after using it manually for a couple of weeks I was ready to buy a new one and called this company. They came the next day and were even able to supply the machine, that was a nice surprise. The electrician was friendly and I appreciate them making the whole experience easy. Great job
This company is great, they helped me when no other company I called could. I have been trying to install a few outdoor/indoor sconces on my patio, I called a couple of electricians they said that the way my townhouse was built they could not be installed. I was determined so I called Mr Electric & they came out the next day and explained that it would be a difficult install, but not impossible. In two days they had all three sconces up and running. They weren’t even expensive either, I was very impressed by them. If you have a hard or seemingly impossible job don’t give up like I almost did, give them a call.
Limited space does not mean limited lighting options. In fact, the smaller the space, the more important it becomes to choose the right fixtures. Small bathrooms and kitchens can feel cramped because of poor lighting, not because of square footage alone. Bright, evenly distributed light can visually open up a tight room. Recessed ceiling lights spread illumination across the space without taking up headroom. Wall-mounted sconces can stretch the appearance of a room vertically and eliminate heavy shadows around the face and body. In a bathroom, lighting placed around or behind a mirror can reflect and double the amount of visible light. In kitchens, glass-front cabinets or glossy backsplashes bounce light around and make narrow galley kitchens feel wider. Color temperature is also critical in small spaces. Warm white, which is around 2700K–3000K, is cozy, but it can shrink a space visually if used incorrectly. Cooler light at around 3500K–4000K keeps things bright without feeling harsh, so it’s perfect for compact rooms. A few well-placed fixtures can do the work of many and make a tiny bathroom or kitchen feel like it doubled in size.
Lighting should not feel like an afterthought compared to the rest of your design choices. Picking the right fixtures brings together the functional side of lighting with the emotional and aesthetic side of home design. Modern interiors are complemented by clean lines, neutral metals like brushed nickel or matte black, and minimalist shapes. LED strip lighting under kitchen cabinets or sleek bar-style vanity lights in bathrooms fit naturally into a contemporary look. Recessed lights are especially at home in modern spaces and offer high performance without visible clutter. Traditional homes benefit from richer textures and warmer tones. Bronze, brass, and antique finishes create a feeling of history and comfort. Chandeliers in kitchens or over freestanding tubs, vintage-inspired sconces, and decorative globe bulbs bring craftsmanship that ties into a classic setting. No matter your home's aesthetic, consistency is important. Fixtures do not need to match exactly between the bathroom and kitchen, but they should feel like they belong to the same family.
When done right, bathroom and kitchen lighting increases safety, improves daily routines, and brings out the true beauty of your spaces.
