I do not like that fixture but if you love it use it. Put it an a dimmer if too much light is an issue . IMO bathrooms and kitchens are like operating rooms they need all the light they can get for makeup for sure in the bathroom I like candles if I want romantic in my bathroom . The tolet room needs proper lihhting . so does the shower and the vanity . What are the other choices in the bathroom ?IMO those are what drives the choice for the chandelier. What I do not like about that light is it throws weird shadows when lit and for sure not ideal in a bathroom

Thanks for your input!

Lighting-Can lights in the shower tub area. The cabinet area will have wall sconces on each side of two mirrors (black with white shades, but not finalized yet).

There will also be a wall mounted LED Make-Up mirror.

Wall Colors - Light Gray.

Tile Floor/Shower - Porcelain Marble look (cool white with grey veining).

Cabinet colors - Med/Dark Gray with Antique Brass/black handles.

Fixtures - Matte Black

We will definitely put a dimmer switch on any chandelier that we chose. Looking for sparkle even when it is not on and we have a ton of natural light from our bay window.

A handy rule of thumb is that a chandelier should have at least 48 inches of space from each of the room walls or edges.

Location is critical for your install. When we remodeled our master bath, I asked the contractor about a chandelier over the bathtub and was told our ceiling was too low. The US National Electrical Code prohibits installing a hanging ceiling light fixture within 3' horizontally of a tub unless there is 8' or more in clearance from the bottom of the light fixture to the top of the tub. Prohibited hanging fixtures that fall inside this area include: Track lighting. Chandeliers. If you can make it work, definitely go for it. A touch of luxury will add to the joy of your bathroom.

I have remodeled/built two master baths and I like a chandelier also, more for the decorative aspect, although they do provide good general lighting. I agree with Patricia that the one you're considering will cast weird light, but if you're interested in it more as a piece of art then that won't matter. It seems like an odd choice given how you describe the sconces you're considering, but without seeing a picture of them I can't be sure whether the two go together or not. I think 28" is plenty big enough. I would put a recessed fixture over the tub and in front of the linen closet.

Get a smaller one and center it over the tub instead of the center of the bathroom. But check the codes in your local area. Sometimes hanging a fixture over a tub is not allowed.

I love the idea of a chandelier over the tub, but unfortunately, we do not have enough space above the tub to hang it there based on code.

@User that's obviously not true based on the photos I posted. It's true it's not allowed in some municipalities but that's why I suggested she check her local codes.

Here is a mock-up of the space. I have made a few changes to the original plans based on some great ideas I got from designers already on Houzz (thank you!!). You may not be able to see my comments, but there will not be two different sconces on the cabinet view. These are just two I am considering. Also, the chandelier won't be over the tub, but about 4+ feet in front of it. This was the only way to show it in the mock up. I was originally going with black hardware on the cabinets since the faucets are black, but I felt that they got lost on the dark grey.
