Farmhouse Vanity Lights

Hunter has a wide range of bathroom vanity lights to suit all types of interior design themes, including farmhouse-style decor. Combining traditional simplicity in design with modern materials built to last, farmhouse style vanity lights make the perfect finishing touch to your bathroom remodel.

How Do Farmhouse Vanity Lights Fit into Your Decor?

Key to the farmhouse decor style is making use of an earthy color palette with understated, simple materials that work together to create a warm and welcoming effect. When applied to vanity lights, the farmhouse style usually features a wooden backing, plain metal mounts, and glass shades to give a charming old-style lantern effect.

Where other traditional styles might stick to plain, dark metals, and wood with a natural finish, farmhouse vanity lights can be more decorative for a slightly added refined appearance. Modern farmhouse vanity lights can make use of brushed metal and treated or painted woods to add a layer of elegance over the simplicity, for a textured, dynamic effect.

Because of this, farmhouse style vanity lights can be fitted easily into a more contemporary decor to provide an attractive balance between classic and modern themes. Browse Hunter’s Onyx Bengal vanity lights on Barnwood mounts to transform your bathroom décor.   

How to Choose Farmhouse Rustic Vanity Lights

When transforming your bathroom décor with farmhouse vanity lights, there are several points to bear in mind to help you choose which lights you should install. From the number of lights and the bulb types to how bright they shine, here are the most important things to look out for.

The Number of Lights

When installing vanity lights, it's important to fit the right number for the size of your mirror or bathroom vanity. In general, the total size of the vanity light fitting should be around three-fourths of the mirror's width, centered and evenly distributed. This means that in most cases there should be between two and four evenly spaced light fixtures to provide a sufficient but not overpowering light source.

Total Brightness

Your farmhouse rustic vanity lights should provide enough brightness for you to see what you're doing when washing or applying cosmetics, but without blinding you. For a typically-sized vanity, that usually means at least 1600 lumens of total lighting power, or the rough equivalent of two 60W incandescent light bulbs.

Bulb Types

Modern farmhouse vanity lights are made to fit LED bulbs which give clear illumination with high energy efficiency. But it's important to choose the right kind of LED bulb to match your preferences. Aim for one with a warm, soft brightness rather than harsher blue illumination, as it will be less fatiguing when reflected in the mirror. When working together with ceiling lights that mimic daylight, softer illumination from your vanity lights can help you achieve a versatile layered-lighting effect.
