Do you need task lighting above your mirror, ambient light for relaxation, or accent lighting to highlight features like art or tile? Each area benefits from a different type of bathroom light.
Vanity lights should typically be mounted around eye level, about 65 to 70 inches from the floor, or centered above mirrors for even illumination.
Bathroom sconces work well flanking mirrors or lining walls for soft ambient light, ideally placed about 36–40 inches apart when used in pairs.
Modern bathrooms benefit from sleek chrome or matte black finishes and frosted glass for a clean, polished look.
Traditional or transitional bathrooms pair well with warm brass or antique finishes that bring timeless elegance.
For eclectic or vintage-inspired spaces, look for unique sconces or vanity fixtures that act as focal points.
