Brown Bathroom + Vanity Lights

Brown Vanity Lights

When it comes to lighting a bathroom, consider the addition of a brown vanity light to the room. Vanity lights can often be effective options if the room requires a full and even glow. The brown coloring will also provide a much-needed grounded aspect to the décor, using an earth tone to relate to the world outside. Other popular options for lighting include wall sconces and pendants, but these types of fixtures typically provide only accent lighting from a wall or downward lighting from the ceiling, which makes the layers of light in the space incomplete with dark patches remaining. Vanity lights will mount to the wall above or alongside a mirror and can contain any number of light sources, creating a full layer of illumination throughout the room. The light sources will usually be either traditional incandescent bulbs or LEDs, small energy-efficient diodes. In the case of LEDS, the designs of the fixture can vary more due to the tiny size of the LEDs. They can hide within glass or metal tubes or multiple shades of glass to create an appealing silhouette.

Other Considerations

Brown vanity lights in particular will create a bold look in the bathroom. With such a color, it is important to match other fixtures and furnishings with the brown, otherwise the brown vanity lights will stand out and clash with the surrounding décor. Brown light fixtures can be added throughout the room, such as with wall sconces flanking either side of a mirror or with a pendant light hanging from the ceiling. If these fixtures are also brown like the vanity light, then there will be a sense of flow in the room as the décor matches throughout.

As with any fixture, it is also important to consider the size of the room and the size of the fixture that will be installed in it. Any fixture that is too big or too small will work against this sense of flow, even if the color matches it. Make sure the size works for the space, whether the fixture uses an incandescent bulb or an LED.
