Bathroom Vanity Lighting above Mirror

last year

last modified: last year

Hello! Looking at a few options of linear sconces. Mirror is 66" and there is not enough room for side sconces so they have to be on top of mirror. Is a 22" sconce the right size to put over each sink? Would glass shades make ceiling look taller? Floor to ceiling is not even 8ft. *Seeking lighting advice only. Mirror is not changing*

So the distance between the center line of each sink and the closest edge of the mirror is 10-3/4" + 4" = 14-3/4". So you could use the your proposed 22"-wide light over each sink. As you have only 11" between the mirror and the ceiling, I'd think you'd want to use rather slim fixtures to prevent them looking like they were jammed in.

Can you post a picture of your vanity and vanity wall so we can see your room?

The size of the ones below is 10'' H X 17'' W X 9'' D so shorter than what you're considering. I don't know the style you're looking for but the size shown below seems to balance with the sinks. Your outlets for the sconces should be in line with the centre of the sink, not sure they are looking at your picture.

1. For each sink, what is the distance between the center of the drain and the edge of the mirror closest to the sink?
2. How far apart are the drain centers of the sinks?

Can you draw a pic that includes the measurements of everything on this wall and include the height of the space between the top of the mirror and ceiling.

Without a lot of height, you don't want something that looks wedged in up there. I'm inclined towards something with an arm that stick out further into the space, rather than lights that are smashed up against the wall.

Here are a few different ways we have used sconces and linear lights over bathroom mirrors in our designs. Please take a moment to look through and see if any of them might be able to work for your bathroom.
