Please help me choose a light fixture for my new guest bath!
I have chosen this 30 inch vanity and 20x 33 recessed mirror for our new guest bathroom. I am trying to decide what size and style light fixture would work best with it. I feel like the light should not be too bulky and maybe something like the one below hung horizontally over the mirror would work. It is 19.5 inches long and takes 60 watt bulbs. I do like the 2 and 3 light fixtures with clear glass globes but again, I am not sure if something more streamlined like the one below would be best with the mirror. Whatever I choose, I am guessing that the light fixture should not extend beyond the mirror? It may also be helpful to know that the tile is a medium sized white hexagon. I would love to hear any opinions. Thank you!

Comments (13)A floor plan will really help. It will let us see what lights you can see from where. Is your faucet and your hardware both chrome? and your door handles the dark finish. I can't tell if it is antique brass or not? What is your DR chandy - is it brass? You need to figure out, if you are following the article that you posted what category each of the above elements fall into. (the faucet, hardware, etc.) My feeling is that you have already mixed your metals. For example - in the kitchen you have chrome hardware/faucet (step 1). Step 2 would indicate picking a matching metal which you did with the island light and either of the window lights. (I prefer A2 as it adds another element - the white glass shade - into the mix while retaining the metal. Where I am bogging down is in the transition areas between the rooms which is why a floorplan would be helpful. For the foyer/LR I would pick H2 and J1 but that is subject to change depending on the floorplan and how the rooms are connected. Edited to add: Don't forget, unlike a bathroom, a kitchen comes with other metals. What are your appliances, pots/pans, cutlery. What are your plans for your stools - any metal there? In your foyer, LR and GR - does any of the furniture have any metal in them and if so - what type. Are any of your accessories metal. How about your backsplash. This thought and question was triggered while I was just in my kitchen and happened to notice my copper backsplash which is behind and underneath my stainless steel range and vent. My hardware and faucets are brushed nickel while my lights in the eating area and family room are aged bronze. My pendants are a mix of the two and act as a transition. I treated each `area of the house as a separate area. Kitchen/eating area/family room is one area while the DR and LR was treated as a separate area. Because the Kitchen/eating area/family room had a mix of metals I felt comfortable using either of those 2 metals in other rooms. The copper backsplash was my jumping off point for using copper in a variety of accessories throughout the house.. So, 3 metals throughout the house.

Comments (33)I think I have found a solution. I can’t find anything in the chandeliers or wall sconce lines that I really like or would mesh the two. I’m going to buy this fixture that is very discounted and switch out the shades with something like this and possibly dangle a few crystals from it. Then is will marry the glass sconces and the silver chandelier. It is appropriately sized and looks more like a foyer fixture imo. I also have a Casablanca ceiling fan in the middle of this room and plan to use the same type of crystal shades on its light bulbs....See MorePlease help me choose a dining room light fixture
Comments (11)Thanks for your insights, Christopher. The Deco fixture is one of my favorites, so I'm happy to get a vote for that choice. It's really difficult to find just the right piece...do you have any sources and/or pieces you could recommend? I've spent hours scrolling online and I'm still not super excited about anything......See MorePlease help me choose new light fixtures!
Comments (4)I think it would be safe to say any of the below lights can work. But again I agree that it would be helpful to know what you like. Because it’s possible these do not talk to you! I think if everything else remains as is of stay in the silver family... I posted this pendant because I think it’s pretty and it’s so versatile but I realize you only have wiring for one light. If you can rewire... this may be an option...See Moredebbie Fox

I love how you showed me how the light will look over the mirror! Thank you so much! Here is the globe light fixture I mentioned in my original post. It is 19 inches wide. I like this one a lot too and thought it would be nice with the hexagon floor. I am just not sure if it is too bulky?
