Step into Jennifer Aniston’s Beverly Hills home and you'll find a masterclass in modern luxury. While the residence itself is a 20th-century architectural gem, its interiors are a testament to contemporary design that still honors its mid-century roots.
Working with interior designer Stephen Shadley, Aniston spent two and a half years meticulously curating the space. The result, as she told Architectural Digest, was a 'project without a problem' a seamless blend of timeless style and personal sanctuary. And one detail, in particular, has captivated designers: the breathtaking illuminated stone countertop in her powder room.
Now, marble counters have been popular for a while, says Alice Hood, senior design consultant at Roundhouse. 'But the ability to set yours aglow is an unexpected wow factor that would rival even the chicest hotel or Michelin-star restaurant.' This bathroom lighting trend is a statement way to create a new dimension to the central showpiece and make it dazzle.
For too long, bathroom lighting was purely functional, designed for tasks like shaving or applying makeup. But a major shift is underway. Designers are now bringing illuminated surfaces into luxury homes, turning countertops and walls into a source of glowing, ambient light that goes far beyond a simple fixture.
This bathroom trend is a masterclass in using light to create atmosphere. Jennifer Aniston's bathroom ideas are a perfect example: the crystalline stone of her counter glows with a warm, lava-like effect. This technique not only highlights the unique, natural texture of the stone but also infuses the entire space with a serene, holistic warmth.
This kind of lighting isn't just beautiful – it's a smart design move. It makes a room feel expensive and opulent without sacrificing function. While many trends fade quickly, this innovative use of light is predicted to last, proving that a single, well-lit surface can transform your space into a calming, beautiful, and highly functional sanctuary.
Shop the look
Setting your surface aglow isn't just something you can buy in a store, however, there are plenty of light fixtures that will replicate the rich, sophisticated look seen in Jennifer Aniston's space.
Take this trend outside of the bathroom and into the bedroom or living room with a natural stone lamp. This beautiful calcite, hand-carved design is making waves in the design world.
Expensive-looking lighting does not always have to come with an astronomical price tag. This crystal-like wall sconce is delightful option, and it can be positioned upwards or downwards for a versatile lighting scheme.
Statement lighting is having a moment, and all-out glamour is the way to go. This dimmable wall light would look perfect on either side of a bathroom vanity mirror – it is ultimate sophistication and elegance.
