Why Jennifer Aniston’s innovative glowing countertop is a game-changing trend for bathrooms

Jennifer Aniston.

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.
