Guest Picks: Lighting to Perk Up a Powder Room

Selecting lighting to get a powder room gives you an opportunity to choose fixtures which are little prettier than what you’d choose for a main tub or en suite. After all, guests will probably use it. As powder rooms occasionally do not have any natural light, a blend of a ceiling fixture and wall sconces may be in order. Whether you’re trying for a modern, vintage or glam look, there are lighting options in every style. — Vanessa from Decor Happy

The lighting option should match the bathroom’s style. In this toilet, my customers fell in love with the vintage feel of those sconces from Restoration Hardware. They really add to the overall charm of this bathroom.

Colors of Light

Well Appointed Bath Light, 2-Light – $269

I love the vintage vibe of the brass wall sconce. Paired with the milk glass shades, it strikes just the right note.

Lowe’s

Z-Lite 3-Light Warwick Semi-Flush Ceiling Light – CAD 225

Apothecary lights are a long time favorite, and this one is accessible and reasonably priced.

Restoration Hardware

Edison Milk Glass Sconce – $159

If space is at a premium in a narrow powder space, these slender milk glass sconces are the best answer.

Pottery Barn

Quinn Beaded Double Sconce – $129

The beading on the backplate and the aged look of this double sconce would add rustic charm to a powder room.

Restoration Hardware

Lugarno Triple Sconce – $155

If your powder room is big, then a triple sconce hung above a mirror will offer ample light.

Colors of Light

Soft Contemporary Sconce – $55

This very simple sconce with a metal ring on the color will look smart when put on either side of a very simple mirror.

The Home Depot

Brookside Collection Antique Nickel 1-Light Wall Lantern – CAD 97.45

I would place just one of those above the mirror, as two can overwhelm a powder room, which is generally on a small scale. It would work nicely with a white and navy colour scheme for a contemporary look.

Ballard Designs

Rylan 3-Light Pendant – $249

In case you’ve got tall ceilings in your powder room, then this fairly glass sphere will add interest and glamour.

The Home Depot

Pillar Collection 1-Light Chrome Wall Sconce – CAD 108

This slender sconce in a chrome finish will add a modern element into a room.

Elte

Elkins Sconce – $415

I love the combination of the bronze and brass finishes on this double sconce. Ensure you’ve got loads of space on both sides of the mirror to install these.

Schoolhouse Electric

Northwestern 2.25″ Lighting Fixture – $85

This ceiling fixture is indeed unusual — it is a light in a light! I adore its simplicity.

The Home Depot

Luxuria Collection 1-Light Chrome Wall Sconce – CAD 186

I have to acknowledge this sconce is not one I would pick for my own powder room. However, if you’re opting for something over the top, these would add just the ideal amount of glam.

Elte

Boston Functional Library moderate – $465

I’ve seen these flexible wall sconces in a toilet. They have quite a presence and lend a Hamptons/nautical vibe into the space.

Hudson Valley Lighting

Nyavk 450-AGB Wall Sconce

Modern, easy and fairly, this brass sconce has it all.

Schoolhouse Electric

Hamilton 2.25″ Pendant Light Fixture – $125

In case you’ve got the distance, hang two of these from the ceiling on either side of a mirror using a natural wood frame.

Restoration Hardware

1920s Factory Sconce – $259

I’ve utilized these retro sconces in a toilet, and they include just the ideal amount of industrial-cool style.

IKEA

Lillholmen Wall Lamp – $16.99

For those on a limited budget, these cheap wall sconces just can work. I’ve observed similar sconces for ten times the cost.

Hudson Valley Lighting 6220-AGB 120 6 Light Pendant – $1,605

Lanterns are so flexible they work in just about any space. This brass one will add glamour to make a statement in a powder room.

Purchase

Pottery Barn

Metal-Head Single Sconce – $99

The hexagonal color on this aged brass sconce is indeed unique.

Bed Bath & Beyond

Quoizel Downtown Wall Sconce With 1 mild – $149.99

The soccer ball detail on this wall sconce is fairly yet not over the surface.
