match tile in bathroom

3 years ago

I want to use these scones with the tile on toilet and vanity wall. What tile should I use in shower to compliment the “worn” “aged” tile on the wall. The bathroom is linear. So sink, toilet, shower share one wall. 10 feet only. Any suggestions

    What wattage bulbs are they rated for? Will they give you enough light? These look more like front porch entry lights.

    They are very interesting sconces, but as felizlady says, not the best for lighting in a bathroom. Maybe in a powder room if you also had an overhead light, but if this is a bathroom that is used a lot they wouldn't be my choice. As for the tile, if you can find a plain white/off white rectangular tile that is the same color as the background of the tile with black stripes that would work.

    supply a link for the tile so we can see what a wall of this tile looks like

    I have sconces in both my bathrooms which are decorative rather than providing high levels of lights. I have ample light as there are overhead canned lights in the guest bathroom and my master bath has canned lights and also special lighting at my grooming station - e.g, my real vanity area.


    One of my friends loves to use the sconces in the guest bathroom because of the ambient romantic lighting :-)

    This would be the guest bathroom but I will have overhead pot light as well. The tile is from Bedrosians vivance rice motif

    @Cheryl Hannebauer Since you are not relying on sconces for lighting, go with the ones you have chosen as they are very interesting and look great in the inspiration photo you posted.


    My bathrooms deliberately have a vintage feel and although the sconces in both bathrooms work, they really don't provide much light because of the shades.


    The sconces in my master bath are new but from a store that sells vintage style hardware of all kinds.




    The sconces in my guest bath are vintage. They originally had a silver finish but I had them plated to go with the copper and oil rubbed bronze hardware in the guest bath


    The shades are mica which I sourced for a shade maker who does vintage style shades so the emanate a low ambient light - low watt bulbs and mica shades + dim lights 😄

    Instead of trying to “match” aged, I’d mimic the tile shape/size with a white square tile

    Unusually beautiful scones … if enough light in your bathroom with the scones ..congratulations on finding them

    The whole look is fantastic. Since it’s a guest bath and not your major “I do my hair and makeup here” room, I say go for it. As a guest in your home I would be blown away by such a unique bathroom. Great Wall tile too.

    I do not have sconces in my own bathroom because the seller/builder put a full mirrored wall. It is possible to do makeup without sconce, but it’s not easy. For your own bathroom, be generous with lighting.

    Would the plain rice tile in the off white work with the printed tile you picked? That would look great with the tile in the shower if the colors are close enough.

    And I too think it will be a fantastic look.
