Please help with light placement on a 89" long double vanity
Hello everyone, We have a 89" long vanity in the master bath with double sinks and a makeup area in the middle and I need help deciding on what type of vanity lights to use for it.
We are planing to use a large mirror and add lights above the mirror.
Each sink area width = 22.5 inches
Makeup area width = 44 inches
The bathroom have a recess light in the middle of the bathroom about two meters in front of the vanity.
For the vanity lights, I was hoping to do something like this using 21.5 inch long fixtures centered on the sinks.
But with the size of the makeup area I am not sure if that will give enough light and/or leave the middle of the vanity feeling bare..
Should I use three sets of two lights centered on the sinks and the makeup area instead? Something like this:
Any advice you can give me will be really appreciated. I need to let the builder know about the lights placement asap.. Thank you very much in advance!

PRO9 years agolast modified: 9 years agoThat's an awful lot of globe and light! I'd get a single on each side, and a triple in the middle. Otherwise......it's going to look like the lighting showroom. !!!! these are pottery barn, other styles where you can get same combo: )
No matter.....you'll have 300 watts of light over the vanity , and not a crowd of globes....still in proportion to the vanity spacing
I'd add an outlet under the vanity, ask for a grommet hole and plug in a decent make up mirror anyway : )

Thanks JAN MOYER! Yeah true. With the mirror reflecting the light it may end up being too bright! The fixtures you show looks similar to the ones I am looking at.
I'll have to see if these make singles.

Twenty pages into Progress........I see no single to match your selection. Try Restoration hardware...... Mounts either way in satin nickel. Many of them can mount both directions.
and another Pottery Barn
Or Hinkley/" Kyra" in brushed nickel
PRO9 years agoTry side wall sconces and limit upper lighting especially if you also have can lighting in the space. Side lighting is better. Less shadows on the face.
