Design Dilemma Lighting Bathrooms

Do these sconces work with these faucets?

3 years ago

This is a remodel of our master bathroom. Our faucets are brushed nickel. We really like the Hinkley Pietra bath bar/sconce on the left for looks and light output, but it has chrome trim. Do you think these work with our faucets or should I keep looking for some sconces with brushed nickel trim? Showing a pic of our chandelier as well. It's a sputnik style with a chrome interior, but not as noticeable and not as close to the faucets.

it's perfectly fine to mix.

hard to see in the pic, but the sconces seem to look fine w/the faucet

The reason I don't want to go with brushed nickel is bc we are going for a combo style of Craftsman and French cottage. I think a darker faucet would look more inline with what we are doing. I will have a SS dishwasher, fridge and microwave.

Does the finish on bathroom sconces have to match the faucet?

Lighting ( sconces) can be an accent . But please limit yourself to TWO metal finishes in the bath. That includes. Lighting, shower / faucets and cabinet hardware, More than that quickly becomes visual confusion

That faucet looks cool Joseph. Is there a name brand that we can google? But I do think that whether a faucet sprays onto the counter has a lot to do with the size/width of the sink, and the depth of the sink. In my experience double bowl sinks with small bowls will have more splashing because there are more and closer walls for the water to hit against and bounce off of. In addition, when the faucet spout is a tall height above the sink it will splash more.

There are thousands of choices out there for mirrors and sconces ... Just keep looking and the right ones will be obvious when you see them. Just keep the inspiration photo in mind. I recently spent hours/days doing searches for 2 bathrooms ... so not going to do it for your bathroom! ;-) Have you looked at: Horchow Shades of Light Uttermost Mirror Image Home Cyan Design Global Views Worlds Away Arteriors

Here's the other one up close. It looks like brushed nickel trim, but it's chrome. It doesn't come in brushed nickel, unfortunately.

Beth H., thank you for chiming in. I always look forward to your opinions. Here's a closer look at the faucet and sconce.

Now that you can better see the shine of the chrome trim where the light hits it, do you still think they can work together?
