Modern Vanity Lighting

Compared to more traditional forms of bathroom lighting, including flush mount overhead lights and sconces, modern vanity lights offer the following key benefits that bring your space to life.

• Segmenting your space: A vanity light offers a bold or soft line to help segment your bathroom and redefine the feel of the space.
• Focused task lighting: If you hang vanity lights pointing downward, they offer a focused stream of task lighting for tasks you do in the mirror.
• Increased visibility: Vanity lights increase illumination where you need it without overpowering the space with a flood of light.
• Bold style: A modern bathroom vanity light can transform an otherwise monotonous room into a stylish space full of intrigue.

• Relaxing ambiance: Vanity lights are fantastic at preserving the gradient between shadow and light within a space for a calm, relaxing atmosphere.

Installing vanity lighting brings function and beauty to your space. Here are a few important details to keep in mind when selecting the right modern bathroom vanity light for your space.

• Size of the Room: Choose modern vanity lights that are large enough to look proportional to the size of your bathroom. Keep in mind vanity lights aren’t designed to light up a whole room, so you may need an additional ceiling light to fully illuminate the space.
• Size of the Mirror: If you’re mounting your vanity lights above a mirror, they shouldn’t extend past 70 to 75% of the width of the mirror.
• Aesthetic: Choose lights that work with the flow of the room or the design you have in mind. Modern vanity lights have clean lines for a minimalist look.
• Number of Lights: You’ll find vanity lighting fixtures with two lights or many lights. A bold two-bulb vanity light is ideal for a small bathroom mirror area, while a more expansive, four-bulb model works for bigger bathrooms or vanities with two sinks.
