In our latest issue, we curated an inspiring mix of sconces, pendants, and chandeliers that go beyond function to add atmosphere, elevate style, and transform your bathroom into a personal retreat. A layered lighting approach strikes a balance between task visibility and mood-setting ambiance, promoting a sense of relaxation. Whether you’re getting ready in the morning or winding down at night, a well-lit bathroom is both practical and indulgent.

Sconces are ideal for framing mirrors and casting flattering, shadow-free light where it matters most. When selecting a sconce, consider the amount of light you need and the amount of wall space you are willing to dedicate, as this will also determine the number of fixtures required.

Pendants bring a sculptural moment to the room, especially when used over vanities or in pairs near freestanding tubs. Don’t forget to consider ceiling height. For low ceilings, avoid large and low-hanging fixtures. For tall ceilings, the bigger the better.

And chandeliers? They’re the statement-makers, perfect for adding a dose of luxury overhead while softening the room with ambient light.
