Modern & Contemporary Bathroom and Vanity Light Fixtures

Bath and vanity lights are a key component of modern bathroom lighting. The versatility of these lights allows them to instantly illuminate small spaces and provide concentrated lighting that’s perfect for daily grooming. With multiple styles to pick from, there is guaranteed to be a bath light that adds to the modern aesthetic of any bathroom.

Light fixtures in the bathroom can include any of the major categories including wall sconces, pendants, and flush mounts. Wall sconces provide a direct glow across the room from the wall, illuminating faces, shelving, and other wall-hanging objects, while pendants and flush mounts bring a full glow spread evenly across the room. Each fixture brings a layer of light to the room and together creates a fully illuminated space.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bathroom Light Fixtures

Which fixtures work in the bathroom?

Bathrooms, like any other room of the home, can style in several different ways including modern, traditional, mid-century modern, and coastal and nautical. However, it is important to note the location rating of any fixtures that are going to be installed in the bathroom. Wet, damp, and dry ratings are possible location ratings, each with different requirements.

Wet and damp rating fixtures are able to be used in a bathroom because they can be exposed to moisture. A wet rating means the fixture can come in direct contact with water — possible because all of the wiring components are sealed shut. A damp-rated fixture allows moisture to build up, but not in direct contact with any splashing or stream of water.

How Many Lights Are Needed Near the Vanity?

The number of lights needed will depend on the size and the layout of the vanity. If the vanity has only a single sink, a pair of wall sconces will provide the most effective, even lighting. Wall sconces are best placed 28-30" apart and 60-70" from the bottom of the fixture to the bathroom floor. If additional light is desired, consider adding a vanity light above the mirror or have a mirror that contains an internal light.

For a vanity light above a mirror, the light should be no more than a third of the width of the mirror.

How much space should there be between a sconce and a mirror?

Sconces should be at least 4 inches from the mirror. This ensures the electrical box behind the wall can fit and also provides welcomed empty space in the décor that helps the room breathe by establishing the beginning and end of individual pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bathroom Vanity Lights

Lighting in the bathroom includes vanity lights, which are any fixture mounted near the vanity, such as on either side of or above the mirror. Vanity lighting can function as both general and task lighting, depending on the size of the bathroom and the needs of the room.

Should Vanity Lights be Up or Down?

Vanity lights are often used above the mirror or from a similarly high vantage point, so they should be installed angled downwards, so they can illuminate yourself and anything happening near the vanity.

Should Vanity Lights Hang Over the Mirror?

Vanity lights can be placed above the mirror or on either side, depending on personal preference and the needs of the room. Certain styles of modern vanity lights are designed to hang over the mirror. Some mirrors have internal lighting as well, providing a direct layer of task lighting that can pair with an additional vanity light or be just as effective on its own.

What Color Should Vanity Lights Be?

Color temperature is important in the bathroom. A color temperature close to daylight, somewhere in the range of 4,000K to 5,000K, is ideal so all those grooming tasks can be seen.

Consider a Makeup Mirror with Lights

In addition to the main mirror in the bathroom, a makeup mirror is a useful addition to the bathroom, whether near the vanity or in a separate space such as a makeup desk. Makeup lights can be portable, sitting on the surface of the vanity or they can mount directly to the wall. In either case, most makeup mirrors are adjustable to ensure the correct angle is established.

For an extra layer of light, consider a makeup mirror with a light. These mirrors have built-in lights which ensure full illumination of the immediate task in front of it.
