Laundry Room Light Fixtures FAQ

What kind of lighting is best for a laundry room?

When choosing lighting for a laundry room, you'll want to select fixtures that provide bright, even illumination. Some good options include the Galvanized Metal Vanity Light or Farmhouse Windmill Ceiling Light. These types of laundry room lighting fixtures not only add a stylish, modern touch, but also ensure the space is well-lit and functional. We're especially fond of our Ornate Copper Ceiling Light with four bulbs of illumination and a big punch of style at a budget friendly price.

The key things to focus on for laundry room lighting are:

• Bright, uniform lighting to fully illuminate the space
• Fixtures with a stylish, contemporary design aesthetic
• Options that balance form and function for the laundry room

By selecting the right lighting, you can create a well-lit, visually appealing laundry area that makes the space both practical and inviting.

How do I choose the right ceiling light for a laundry room?

Depends on finding a fixture that provides bright, even lighting. Opt for mulit bulb light fixtures to ensure clear visibility, and aim for a cooler white light for a crisp, practical glow. If you have lower ceilings, a flush-mounted option like The Lamp Goods’ Galvanized Wash Tub Ceiling Light offers an excellent choice. But for a touch of elegance choose the Antique Acorn Glass Ceiling Light Trio, adding exceptional illumination and functionality to your laundry room space. 

What is the recommended color temperature for laundry room lighting?

For optimal laundry room lighting, a color temperature between 5,000K and 6,500K is recommended, as it provides bright, natural light suitable for task-oriented spaces. Lighting in this color temperature spectrum ensures clear visibility, which aids in activities such as stain treatment and garment inspection.

What type of lighting is best for a farmhouse-style laundry room?

For a true farmhouse-style laundry room, tub lights and galvanized lighting fixtures are perfect choices, bringing a rustic charm to the space. Multi Bulb ceiling lights are also recommended to ensure you have plenty of brightness for tasks. For a cleaner, classic look, you might consider options like a white farmhouse chandelier or white enamel fixtures.

How much light do I need for an average-sized laundry room?

If you have an average-sized laundry room, around 2,000 to 3,000 lumens of light is recommended to ensure bright, even illumination. This amount helps with tasks like sorting and folding, providing clear visibility across the space. Adding ceiling light for the laundry room, like those offered by The Lamp Goods, can achieve this level effectively.

Where should I position lights in my laundry room for the best effect?

Position your light fixture for the laundry room centrally in your laundry room to provide overall illumination. Place additional lighting above key work areas, like over the washer, dryer, and folding area, to reduce shadows and brighten task zones. Designed for laundry room lighting, a Galvanized Laundry Light Fixture or Galvanized Ceiling Light can help create functional lighting throughout the space.

What types of laundry room light fixtures are available?

At The Lamp Goods we offer various lighting options for a stylish, functional laundry room. For low ceilings, their flush-mount choices like the Acorn Glass Flush Mount Ceiling Light and Galvanized Laundry Wash Tub Ceiling Light deliver even lighting without taking up much space. For a touch of character, pendant lights such as the Large White Enamel Farmhouse Pendant Light and Antique Clear Glass Pendant Light make a statement in higher-ceiling spaces.

For a true farmhouse feel, The Lamp Goods’ signature Mason Jar and Galvanized designs—like the Mason Jar Light Fixture New Quart Trio and Galvanized Metal Ceiling Light—bring unique charm and functionality to your laundry room setup.

What kind of light fixture should I use to create a modern laundry room look?

To create a modern look in your laundry room, opt for sleek pendant lights or flush-mount ceiling fixtures. At The Lamp Goods we offer options like the Copper Ceiling Light and Copper Light Fixture, each providing warm, industrial lighting that complements a contemporary space. These copper pieces not only brighten the room but also bring a stylish, distinctive flair to your laundry setup. We're especially fond of our Ornate Copper Ceiling Light with four bulbs of illumination and a big punch of style at a budget friendly price.

What’s the difference between laundry room ceiling lights and wall-mounted lighting?

Laundry room ceiling lights, like flush mount ceiling lights, provide overall, even lighting for the entire space, making it easier to see while performing tasks around the house; meanwhile, a wall-mounted lighting installed in specific areas, such as above counters or near the washer and dryer, adds focused illumination to reduce shadows and improve visibility in work zones, ensuring the best lighting from daylight to dim settings—visit our site page for more ideas, including hallway lighting options.
