Brass Bathroom + Vanity Lights

Brass Vanity Lights

For lighting bathrooms, vanity lights are often the best and most effective choice. Mounting on the side or above of a mirror, a vanity light is the ideal solution for bathroom tasks as it provides a bright and full glow into the room. Wall sconces will mount the same but typically are smaller and only bring an accent light, while pendant lights can range from simple to elaborate as they descend from the ceiling with a focused glow. The light sources can be traditional incandescent bulbs or LEDs, small energy-efficient diodes that can hide within the fixture and allow for more creative design options due to their size. When the type of fixture and the type of light source has been determined, there is also the choice of color and finish. For a metallic look, brass vanity lights bring a particular shine to the space as the light they emit is reflected back. The vanity light could be a simple design with an elongated, rectangular backplate with exposed bulbs presented in a linear arrangement, or it could contain shades that send the light in a particular direction. For a clean and upscale look, brass bathroom vanity lighting is an ideal choice for modern bathrooms.

Other Considerations

With brass vanity lights, often the décor of the room will need more brass bathroom lighting. This can include a simple addition like a pendant light or polished brass wall sconces to flank the mirror and accent the light provided by the vanity light.

When brass is in the room, typically it will stand out and mismatch unless much of the room is also done with brass. This can include fixtures, door handles, sink handles and potentially shower frames. For a full embrace of brass in the room, consider all of these options and see if they apply to the needs of the bathroom. As with any décor choice, whether that be a color scheme or a style theme, make sure to really go for it as the choices made will only seem better the more it exists in the home.
