Traditional Bathroom Lighting

If your home's decor is traditional in style, extending that traditional look to your bathrooms and powder rooms will help you complete an elegant, seamless design. Traditional bathroom lighting is often defined by lots of elegant detailing and stately bronze, black, nickel or brass finishes. Follow these tips to choose the perfect lighting for your traditional bathroom!

Coordinate the finish with existing fixtures. Because the bathroom is closed off from the other rooms in the house, the finish of your bathroom lights does not need to match perfectly with the rest of the home. People often choose bath lights in the same finish as their bathroom fixtures, such as faucets and towel bars, and so traditional bathroom lights are often available in nickel finishes since nickel fixtures are so popular.

Choose a bright style. Since many traditional decor schemes incorporate darker wall colors and furnishings, you'll want to make sure you choose traditional lighting with a design that allows for lots of light to shine. For example, you may want to look for glass shades that are etched or opal, which shields you from the bare exposed bulbs while also giving off bright and flattering light.

Consider using wall sconces to amp up the light and look. They may require a little more wiring from an electrician, but wall sconces on either side of the vanity are excellent choices for creating a traditional look in your bathroom--plus, the positioning of the light gives off a flattering glow that will make you look great at the mirror.

Follow these tips and your lights are sure to make a great statement! Shop traditional bathroom lighting now to find the perfect style for you.
