Lighting is a huge part of home design. Be it for the kitchen, or the bathroom, effective use of lighting can add so much to your space. It’s no wonder, then, that it’s one of the top 5 builder upgrades you can choose for your home.
When it comes to your bathroom, proper illumination is necessary to build a practical and multifunctional space that accommodates a variety of tasks. Adequate bathroom lighting enhances your mirror for daily tasks like face washing or applying make-up, and brightens overall design elements.
At Deslaurier Custom Cabinets, we pride ourselves on providing our clients with the knowledge and expertise to create the perfect designs. While we focus on functional and high-quality cabinetry, we know there is much more that goes into a successful kitchen or bathroom project than just cabinets.
With that, this article will provide you with 5 of the best stores in Ottawa for you to buy lighting for your bathroom vanity.

At Deslaurier, we know there’s much more to a home than just cabinetry. We pride ourselves on our ability to offer our clientele as much information as possible, for every room in the house.
Shopping for lighting in the bathroom isn’t quite the same as picking it out for your kitchen. For instance, you’re more likely to consider wall-mounted sconces for your bathroom vanity than you would a popular kitchen staple, like an expansive chandelier.
That’s why we’ve put together this list of the 5 best places to buy bathroom vanity lighting in Ottawa!
While there may be some overlap with the best Places For Kitchen Lighting in Ottawa, you’ll want a supplier that has the knowledge, and selection, to provide you with the best lighting for your bathroom vanities.
To that end, all the companies in this article were chosen based on their industry experience, services offered, and google rating.
Please note the companies listed below are in no particular order.

At Deslaurier Custom Cabinets, we know that there’s not a one-size-fits-all mould when it comes to crafting the perfect design.
You can absolutely buy your bathroom sinks from large home improvement retailers like Home Depot, Lowe’s, Bed Bath & Beyond, or IKEA.
Box stores like these buy in bulk to offer lower prices. That can be a pro (you can keep your costs down) or a con (the company's focus may be on moving inventory).
If you are shopping for a powder room or smaller bathroom, and you aren’t picky about your lighting choice, a big box retailer would certainly have a selection for you in-stock.
On the other hand, if you want the perfect lighting for your unique bathroom design, or have a large master ensuite that needs unique and effective lighting, going with one of the local retailers listed above will benefit you with their industry knowledge and personalizable inventory.
