My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Basement bathroom lighting

6 years ago

Hi,


We have a basement bathroom with this exact tiles and similar vanity.


Countertop is a white quartz. House is transitional style. We have cans so this is for decor/ambiance only. Here is one option

Is it too rustic ? Any other suggestions is appreciated.

    that light is next to nothing. even for ambience. and yes, too rustic for that style


    if all you want is a little ambient lighting, do the backlit mirrors

    I love these. and they put off great light if you need to get ready with them

    this way, all you'll need is the mirrors and the recessed.


    Do the one large one like above, or two smaller ones.


    but if you want sconces, then something like these would work
