Lighting a bathroom or vanity
A bathroom needs even light on the face at the mirror and a softer general light for the rest of the room. This collection gathers Dalmivik vanity lights, wall sconces and ceiling fixtures that suit vanity walls, powder rooms and dressing areas.
Planning starting points
- Beside the mirror: a sconce on each side of the mirror, with the centre of the shade near eye level (about 60 to 66 inches from the floor), lights the face evenly.
- Above the mirror: a vanity light bar should be about three quarters of the mirror width and no wider than the mirror.
- Ceiling light: add a flush mount or small pendant for general light in the middle of the room.
- Natural stone: alabaster and travertine belong on dry walls away from direct water. Keep them outside the shower and clear of regular splashes.
For fixtures in other materials, see all wall sconces. Always confirm the location and wiring with a licensed electrician.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where should bathroom wall sconces go?
Mount one sconce on each side of the mirror with the centre of the shade near eye level, about 60 to 66 inches from the floor. This lights the face evenly and avoids shadows from overhead light.
How wide should a vanity light be?
A light bar above the mirror usually looks balanced at about three quarters of the mirror width. It should not be wider than the mirror or the vanity.
Can alabaster lighting be used in a bathroom?
Alabaster can be used on a dry vanity wall or in a powder room with good ventilation. It should not be installed inside a shower or where it will be splashed, because water marks the stone.
What colour temperature works best at a vanity?
Warm white light between 2700K and 3000K is flattering and comfortable at a mirror. Check the Light source and Color temperature lines in each product specification table.
