Wall sconces such as the Robern Uplift or Candre sconces would work better.

I have an update and would love to get some feedback before I order the final accessories. (Demo begins one week from today!) I got a quote for replacing the vanity with white cabinetry complete with a sitting area, plus hardwiring of sconces. The costs all added up to too much for me, so I'm sticking with my vanity and overhead lighting location. I feel great about my choices for tile, bath tub, paint, and fixtures. My worry is that all the little accessory details won't quite work together, diminishing the beauty of the bathroom as a whole. I need to buy the accessories soon; here's what I have in mind. With overhead lighting instead of sconces, I prefer one large mirror. The mirror is by Pottery Barn, a wooden frame with gold gilt, 72" x 36". Perfect size for the space, very very very hard to find. This is technically a floor-length mirror, so I hope it can be mounted horizontally! PB customer service was useless when asked. The lights are also PB, polished nickel. For practical reasons, I ruled out any overhead lights that take type B bulbs (too dim) and have fabric shades (too hard to clean). As a big plus, these are on sale for $170 each. Do they go with the mirror and the rest of the room? Chandelier is PB, 18" diameter, antique brass, UL-listed. This will be over the tub on a dimmer. It was hard to find a chandy that's not too big, ornate, and/or expensive. Knobs and pulls are glass and polished nickel from Restoration Hardware. Towel ring, TP roll, and hook are Ballard Design in polished nickel. Fabric for the roman shade is gray on cream linen. Shower bench is Signature Hardware in teak. I hope this will help tie in the wood of the vanity with the other side of the room. Towel warmer is polished stainless steel (no nickel option) from Signature Hardware. If anything doesn't quite mesh or looks wrong, I would love to hear, as well as any suggestions for alternatives!

I forget how I decided on it but I'm going with Starmark for the vanity in our upcoming hall bath remodel. I think that brand is considered semi-custom? It's going to run almost $1800 for a simple 42" vanity: maple painted white, shaker full overlay, 24 inch sink base on the right with cabinet doors below and three 18" full extension drawers on the left. I'm hoping the quality turns out to be decent. For what it's worth, my mom has partial overlay Kraftmaid cherry cabinets throughout the rest of the house (kitchen, family room bar, master bathroom, vanity). They've held up surprisingly well since the mid-80s. No major complaints. It was the best my parents could afford when they put on a major addition back in the day. If she were to redo the kitchen now, she'd put something nicer in but Kraftmaid used to be decent for the price 30+ years ago.

Above. You don't want to use the mirror with your face being side-lit. Sconces only when you can light both sides of the face. I'd do something like two 3-lights or two light bars here.
