Choosing a ew master bath chandelier.

2 years ago

The current chrome and crystal chandelier is too high maintenance with the moisture and dust I have to remove all the crystal to clean it and risk breakage . The master closet has a bronze schoolhouse light. The style is country French/vintage. I have some possible fixtures I’ll post plus of the existing chandelier and the closet light.

    You're only showing ceilings. The two original , the pairing if you will, didn't make any sense - different flavors entirely. Your sconces are chrome - the new selections are confusing?

    Show the entire bath and the bedroom it links to.

    I'd be inclined to replace both with a recessed light, unless some need to be decorative.

    If the issue is cleaning ? You can spray and walk away.

    Rather than aimimg for a ”look” work with what suits the scones, as your selections don’t suit them or the closet fixture.

    It’s hard to make out the item in between the mirrors, but maybe work with its metal and style, although sconses won’t be complementary. It’s hard to suggest without having a sense of your entire bathroom.

    I had difficulty getting the photos to attach…here are pics of the room. Yes, cleaning is the issue. The schoolhouse light I am not thrilled with either, may switch it out at some point.

    Thanks for the cleaner suggestion!

    No matter how elegant a chandelier, it sheds the light of bare light bulbs. How does the light from the current chandelier work for doing makeup and hair? For shaving? Do you wish you had a different quality of lighting for this room? Perhaps resolve that question before moving forward with a new lighting choice.


    I hope you find just the right thing for your needs as well as for your favorite "look." Good luck!

    The light from the sconces functions well for makeup…

    The bulbs are 2700 as opposed to 3000 frequently used.

    Black could work well with your cabinets and flooring.

    All 4 of the proposed replacements look like a PITA to clean. I just checked the Bailey Street chandelier and it is not rated for a bathroom. 'Dry' rating; bathroom fixtures need to be 'damp' rated. I did not check the ratings of the others.

    The shadesoflight 'Claude' fixture ^^ is also 'dry' rated.

    If you don't pick a fixture specifically designed for a bathroom, you are likely to end up with a rusty, flaking mess after only a couple of years.

    None of the proposals are good with the sconces that you have.

    From an easy to clean perspective, nothing beats recessed lighting.

    If I had a damp rated bronze similar to Maureen’s photo, I think that would be easy to clean with my wool duster compared to the crystal I am replacing-? If It is bronze finish, it would match the oil rubbed bronze door hardware, and the closet schoolhouse light. Thanks for your input!
