Bathroom Mirror Lighting Ideas

UNDERSTATED CEILING LIGHT

Understated lighting appeals to the minimal aesthetic of the bathroom in a modern Washington, D.C. home made by Darryl Carter. The dressing table hides drawers for storage.

MID-CENTURY CHANDELIER

As a result of a pair of brother architects, this flat on Paris's Right Bank has a dark and moody aesthetic which upgrades classic French style for the 21st century. The master bath retains a Saarinen armchair, a 1950s American dining table, and a 1960s chandelier. The market is clad in hand-cut glass-mosaic tiles inlaid with gold leaf, the walls are of marble, and the floor is tiled with marble and gold-leafed-glass mosaics, Montreal flooring here.

FABRIC SCONCES

In this Brooklyn townhouse has shibori wallpaper in the powder room is by Amber Interiors for Studio Four NYC and the mirror is by Rejuvenation.

GILDED CHANDELIER

A sculpture by Louise Bourgeois overlooks a bath in French architect Jacques Grange's Paris apartment. The chandelier is 19th-century; the bathtub, sink, and faucet are by the inlaid marble floor and L'Epi d'Or relies on a pattern.

VINTAGE ITALIAN CHANDELIER

The master bath of Alice Childress and Christopher Daniels's downtown Manhattan loft, built with the help of Courtnay Daniels Haden, includes a classic Italian chandelier, a classic freestanding marble bathtub, and an inherited 18th-century painting. The custom-made vanities are outfitted with Caesarstone countertops and Kohler sinks; the sink and bathtub fittings are by Barber Wilsons & Co.

SIMPLE SCONCES

Simple lighting provides striking contrast to this active Finnish wallpaper in the 1950s adorning the walls of this Manhattan apartment powder room, decorated by Katie Ridder. Hanging above a Waterworks sink that is simple yet stylish, a FontanaArte mirror echoes the wall colour.
