Bathroom Lighting Design Ideas

SIMPLE SCONCES

Simple lighting offers striking contrast to this busy Finnish wallpaper in the 1950s adorning the walls of this Manhattan flat powder room, decorated by Katie Ridder. Hanging over a Waterworks sink, a FontanaArte mirror echoes the wall colour.

1960S PENDANT

A circa-1960s lighting fixture by Sarfatti hangs above a Water Monopoly bathtub in this master bathroom in Manhattan; the side table is by Achille Salvagni, and the walls are sheathed in marble.

GOLDEN SCONCES

The powder room within this Hudson River rancher mural is by Shantell Martin and the wainscoting is painted in Benjamin Moore's Midnight, more ideas.

UNDERSTATED CEILING LIGHT

Understated lighting allure to the minimal aesthetic of the bathroom in a contemporary Washington, D.C. home made by Darryl Carter. The vanity hides drawers for storage.

LOW-HANGING LAMP

Designer Darryl Carter creates a master bath that's true for his Virginia farmhouse's origins by employing a very simple lamp he designed for the Urban Electric Co., a sink vanity made from an oak table, plus a slender mirror that sits in front of the windows.

THREE PRONG CHANDELIER

In an English country home, the guest bath has a tub and fittings reclaimed from a different part of the manor; the drapes are of a James Hare silk, and the carpeting is from Ryalux.
