Which Lighting style do you like best?

14 years ago

I'm renovating one of my bathrooms and chose a mirror that Les recommended (thanks, Les), and now I'm deciding on lighting. Small bathroom 8 x 7.5.

I like this and I feel it works:

But.... I love bling, (but don't want to be too out there).

So which ceiling light do you like? I will have to get lighting for mirror area too, but vanity is up against one wall and don't think I can do just a sconce on one side, so will likely have to get something over mirror. Before I do, I wanted to decide on the ceiling light to firm up my theme/style.

floor tile:

Wall tile ( only on walls above tub.: It's the larger slab, Yarkarta Blanco:

Vanity:

Faucet: Polished nickel

Paint color will be either BM Pashmina ...(It's on the wall in picture)

...or BM Etiquette

Sort by:Oldest

How tall is the ceiling? If its 8'6" or higher, go for the bling. It will make pretty patterns on the ceiling. If lower, go for the simpler light with the clean lines. And feel good that you will have one less surface to dust towel lint off of :)

Much to my dismay, the ceiling is low, just a fraction under 8'

I like the first one with your vanity and faucet.

So pleased that you like the mirror. I think it will be a nice addition to the great choices you have made.

I like the first light fixture, but I am wondering if the shade is fabric, and may be an issue in a steamy, moist bathroom?

Sorry, the second one reminds me of a craft project done with clear marbles. Not opposed to some bling, tho. What about this one, if it works with your budget?

les's post appears to be the perfect combination of your #1 and #2 choices

How devoted of a housekeeper are you?

Although I like the crystal look, I can't imagine the upkeep.

Is this something that you would lovingly do to enjoy the look, or a chore?

I ask, because I am thinking of replacing my dining room chandy, and even though I love the crystal look, I shudder to remember how much work it is to clean one that I had at my former house. And I was young then. I can't imagine doing this in my 50-60-70s and having the chore on a ladder for 2 hours twice a year to clean it.

Les, you're wonderful! Thanks again. I think this is the perfect light.
Question: What light would you put over mirror? Or would you just put one sconce to right of mirror. One side of vanity is up against the wall, and although I have space for a sconce on each side, it might seem crowded up against the wall.

Thanks everyone for the input. Tile looks great. They are finishing up right now.
