Sizing Tips & Tricks
We’re here to help make things very simple for you. Our site is heavily curated so that your online shopping experience with us is not one bit overwhelming. Questions we hear all the time are: How many sconces do I need? What is the right layout to align with my vanity? Should I do sconces or just a traditional vanity light above my mirror?
 Look no further, as we have outlined below a very simple and easy guide when picking out your vanity lighting.
Don’t Forget The Light Bulbs
One of the most important steps in lighting that people forget about is using the appropriate light bulbs for your fixture. Most vanity lights can be mounted with the lights positioned downward or upward. If you are seeking task lighting, we recommend installing the fixture downward for the best visibility. If you are seeking to achieve ambient lighting, we highly suggest having the fixture installed upward. Things like wattage, color temperature, and lumens all play a factor in your room’s quality of light. Don’t be afraid to play around with different bulbs to add more character to your space.
If you are wanting to purchase bulbs for your fixture from us, please send us a chat, email, or give us a call and we can special order the perfect bulbs for you!
Helpful Tip: Please keep in mind to stay within the fixture’s recommended wattage range, as exceeding the wattage can ruin the fixture.

The Finishes & Styles
Vanity light shades come in a variety of shapes. If you dig more of the modern style, go for a cylinder shape. If your style is more traditional, you can’t go wrong with a classic bell shape. Go with a textured shade to add dimension or a simple clear shade to get more light output.Â
Finishes: One of the easiest tricks to get started is to seek a bathroom light that complements the finishes of your plumbing hardware for a more unified look. Some of the most popular bathroom light finishes include:
