Lighting Ideas For Bathroom

SIMPLE SCONCES

Simple lighting provides striking contrast to this busy Finnish wallpaper from the 1950s adorning the walls of this Manhattan apartment powder room, decorated by Katie Ridder. Hanging over a simple yet stylish Waterworks sink, a vintage FontanaArte mirror echoes the wall color.

1960S PENDANT

A circa-1960s light fixture by Sarfatti hangs over a Water Monopoly tub in this master bathroom in Manhattan; the side table is by Achille Salvagni, and the walls are sheathed in marble.

CRYSTAL SCONCES AND SHALLOW CEILING LIGHT

The master bathroom sinks by Urban Archaeology have Dornbracht fittings within this enchanting West Village loft. The seat cushion is covered in a Holland & Sherry terry fabric, sconces and the ceiling lighting are 1960s Italian, and the floor is walnut.

THREE PRONG CHANDELIER

In an English country house, the guest bathroom has a tub and fittings recovered from a different part of the manor; the drapes are of a James Hare silk, and the carpet is from Ryalux.

GILDED CHANDELIER

A sculpture by Louise Bourgeois overlooks a bathroom in French architect Jacques Grange's Paris apartment. The chandelier is 19th-century; the tub, sink, and faucet are by the inlaid marble flooring and L'Epi d'Or relies on a Byzantine pattern.

Conventional SCONCES

The master bathroom's bathtub, sink, fixtures, and black limestone flooring are all by Waterworks at the Upstate New York house. The sconces are by Vaughan, the kilim is from West Elm, and the artworks were purchased in London and Paris.
