Need help selecting vanity mirrors, sconces and pulls

last modified: 7 years ago

How would these look Vanity will be 102" with 9' ceilings. I would put a double sconce (13h x 15w x 8.5d) in the middle and single sconces (13h x 5w x 10.5d) on the ends.



Mirrors are 26"w x 45"h:

Shower tile (patterned) and floor tile (solid):

    And I think the mirror choice is too small with regard to width but like the mirror itself. You’re going transitional but the narrow mirrors feel traditional.

    Here is the vanity layout:

    S Reed, I thought the mirrors should be about the size of the sink unit which is 24" wide. The mirrors I'm considering are 26" wide. So, that only leaves 16" between the mirrors in the center.

    Joanna Gaines featured the sconces in Magnolia Journal. I don't usually buy this magazine but happened to be looking at it while in the grocery line and saw the fixtures! The layout is very similar to mine. Wish I knew the dimensions of the vanity in the photo.

    I'm putting the patterned tile (7.5") as the backs plash.

    Get out some graph paper and do a mock-up of the vanity. Where will the sinks be? If you center the mirrors over the sinks, what are the distances from mirror to mirror vs. mirror to edge of vanity? I’m in the middle of my remodel now, and I drew out the mirror/sconce/vanity proportions a million times and still couldn’t get it quite perfect. My mirrors won’t end up perfectly centered on the sinks, but they’re close enough that I don’t mind. You have a large area to work with, so hopefully it should be easier to make it work.

    My 4 - what did you choose? Would you share your photos?

    I did draw it out - but not to scale and for different sconces. I've looked at mirror and light combinations until I almost don't care anymore :-D. If you notice the The magazine photo the mirrors aren't centered over the sinks - difficult to see in my photo. Now I'm wondering about sinks - oval or rectangular, aggh!!!

    Ceiling height is 9' rather than 8' as shown in the drawing. So, that would leave about 20" above the mirrors to the ceiling. I think my calculations were incorrect - I was goofy at this point.

    not sure I like the idea of double sconce. I think larger singles are more appealing to the eye.

    check out this site for many options to get a better idea of what could work for you.

    Sunfeather, don’t want to hijack your thread but could you provide the details on the sconces you posted in your original question? Either the make and model or even a link? I’ve been on the hunt for sconces with the electrical box at the top of the fixture because my boxes are higher than they should be. Thanks and good luck with your project

    There are a couple of versions. Double Swag Sconce and Thomas O'Brien Sconce

    Thanks so much. It’s snowing hard here today. Otherwise, I would have hopped in the car and gone to look for the magnolia journal! I’m having a hard time finding nice sconces with the box where I need them.

    Now I'm obsessing over these fixtures with different mirrors - maybe wood framed. They come in silver-ish iron.

    and this ceiling light:

    I got the last two pictured but in a gray iron. Now I need mirrors.

    How would these look?

    I'm planning to use a row of the pattered shower tile for the backsplash. Could change my mind and use the countertop quartz.
