Need suggestions for Master Bath Vanity Lights

9 years ago

I am updating my master bath. I have replaced the large builder's mirror with these mirrors are over a double sink vanity. I need to replace the lighting. While I would like wall sconces for the best lighting on both sides of the face, there is only a couple of inches between the return wall and the left mirror. No, I am not willing to replace the mirrors. The current light just illuminates the middle of the sink. I want something pretty, but something where my husband can see to shave. Any suggestions for something directly over each mirror or possibly pendants from the ceiling? Thanks!

We need to see more. There are a zillion lights out there, so some sense of your space and style would help narrow it down.

Beautiful mirrors. I would have a look at the Hinkley website and see if anything catches your eye.

The space is undergoing change--new vanity with quartz countertop, new shower, and change in tile. The mirrors are the only part that is staying. The floor tile will have a marble look as well as the countertop. Transitional style is the closest that I can describe, maybe with a little glam,

Here are some looks to consider. Ignore the side positioning in the first pic of the side mounted lights, it's for reference only. If you go LED and are able, put them on a dimmer.

The vanity is not in yet, but it will be white with shaker drawers and doors.

tmcorkum good advice about dimmers.

I really like the looks of the first suggestion. I don't have room for a wall sconce on the left side of the left mirror. I wonder if it would look odd if I placed one on the other wall, the middle and the right side?
