Hello,
I don't like bathroom lights. I've been looking, but I just don't like
them! I'm re-doing my bathroom fairly traditional.

We're having a free-standing bath, but no shower - is there a problem
with me putting in any old light fitting? If I need to get bathroom
friendly ones, is there such a thing as a bathroom chandelier?

The room isn't enormous - probably about 3.5 x 3.5 metres. The
ceilings are about 9 feet high.

Any views, ideas or laws...?

Thanks
Al
You need to consider zoneing:

Looking at the diagram it seems you might be able to fit a small one
in the "outsize zones" area with your 9' ceiling.

I'll need top check the book but I'm under the impression that All
bathroom light fittings need to be at least IPx4.
You can have a chandelier provided it complies (which is unlikely).
