Yes, I think they would look very nice.

Yes, yes, yes. I think they would be perfect.

No, they were in my house 30 years ago when I bought it and I removed them.

30 years ago makes it retro chic?

;)

I think bathroom vanities always need good lighting. Sconces are fine so long as bright enough- I think a minimum of 150 watt equivalent or more and with dimmable bulbs. Functionality is of equal importance to appearance.

Sconces will provide great light! Not sure about that particular one with your mirror frame, but I like the idea. Can't wait to see your completed kitchen! It is all looking great!

Agree with Elmer Fudd - you need SOME type of lighting around or over that mirror. If it's a mirror that you use to put on makeup or something like that, you may prefer a light over the top rather than the sconces. The sconces themselves are very nice, though!

Although they are really nice looking, I'm not sure you'll get sufficient lighting unless it's not the primary bathroom.

There is canned lighting,LED 800 lumins ....2 above the mirror, one over the tub.

The sconces are just a decorating item...

Nicole you should cross post this over on the decorating forum.

Yes but I think gold or bronze would look better than those due to the colors in the vanity, tile and mirror.

You can talk lumins all day to me, but truth is I've never been in a bathroom that didn't have a large window that had enough light to please me. My former bath with a 4' skylight for natural light was perfect, if you could pass muster there in the mornings you were good to be seen anywhere ;0) So, my vote is all the light you can add and then some, and I do like the style of your sconces very much. The scale appears to balance well with your mirror.

mamapinkyO...ok....I cross posted over there.

Definitely YES! to sconces, for decorative purposes. If they can add to the current lighting, that would be another plus for them. But that wall does need something there. Gold or bronze would go better with the mirror frame, tile and vanity, but the chrome picks up the color and texture of your faucets, cabinet hardware and towel bar, so it's pretty much a personal preference situation, IMHO.

Overhead lights are fine for horizontal surfaces but they won't provide the right kind of illumination you and I and everyone else need for the work we do on our vertical faces in front of bathroom mirrors.

"What Elmer said"

II agree with Elmer about their function. I am not fond of the style ... I would prefer a gold color like the mirror. Maybe something more curved and graceful. It seems the mirror and the lights are two different styles.

Here's this man's opinion. If a man wants to shave and the only light source is immediately above his head, then he isn't seeing things the right way. Whether they are decorative or not, I think that some on either side will allow a better view of what is happening on a person's face.

Those side lights need to have enough illumination to make a difference. Being pretty and not really offering light is not right.

Also, you need to consider whether all those lights will be on one switch or not. Might those supplementary lights be on a separate switch, then they might be used as lights for during-the-night trips.

My Opinion on gold fixtures...70's LOL

Is there a window, I find that as I get older my eyesight needs a lot of different light sources..:) I like the scones and might have had them on our list when we built 20 years ago. Retro chic :)

I agree that to see one's face well in a mirror for the purposes of shaving, eyebrow plucking, makeup etc, there needs to be light shining directly onto the face. Overhead lights don't do that.

I think that the mirror is a more traditional style and the sconces are very contemporary. For me, the styles do not mesh well. The color is secondary. I like gold and silver tones together, but not that mirror with those sconces.

LOVE the sconces.

I really like those sconces but not with that mirror. I want as much light as I can get in a bathroom. I think different sconces would be better.

Some kind of sconces, absolutely. Change the style or change the mirror.

Windows don't help after dark, and they light only one side of your face.

If anyone is going to put makeup on using the mirror, side lighting will be needed. If you just have lighting from above, it casts bad shadows on the face.

Maybe this was said already.

I use a lighted make up mirror, one with a swing arm would be best.....but I'm not going to live in this house. I just want it to look good. The sconce is exactly like one offered by Restoration Hardware....very retro....

Is this one by Murray Feiss any better:

I think you should put this back lit mirror in between your lights. [https://www.houzz.com/photos/west-avenue-building-2-bd-apartment-contemporary-bathroom-phvw-vp~5176567

DO YOU HATE IT? or is it ok.....? and I own Edison bulbs....

"DO YOU HATE IT?"

Yes, very much so. Fixture aside, some of those bulbs emit a yellowish light, definitively inappropriate for a bathroom mirror (unless you're into the jaundiced look)

I think you were better off where you started - the chrome colored sconces seemed fine to me and if bright enough, would be very suitable.

I think any that you've pictured will look good, but really prefer the warmer finishes with your bathroom (the orb finish). The chrome or nickel just has too much contrast with your mirror and other warm finishes, the tile and counter. But if YOU prefer it, then choose the one you like best, your original or any others posted. It will go with your faucet and towel bars, etc.

I like them ALL! Kid in a candy store....I need to make the decision...so price. The last one was by Hinkley. A rather high end light....

It is my firm belief that any sconce should be in the brushed nickel like the faucet. Don't change the styles.
