Discover our bathroom wall sconces and vanity lights: single sconces for each side of the mirror, double or triple fixtures over the vanity, in brass, black, nickel or chrome. Good bathroom lighting lights the face without shadows while adding character to the room.
Where to install a bathroom sconce?
The most flattering option is one sconce on each side of the mirror, centred about 5 ft 6 in from the floor. If space is tight, mount a fixture above the mirror, about 3 to 4 in above the frame. For a shower or any area exposed to moisture, check on the product page that the fixture is rated for damp locations.

What colour of light for a bathroom?
Warm to neutral white (2700 K to 3000 K) is flattering for skin tones while staying accurate for makeup and shaving.
