Sconces are the perfect bathroom light fixture to be placed around the vanity mirror. Because sconces direct the light upward, they provide the perfect type of lighting for applying makeup. Moreover, sconces are typically placed about five feet up the wall, providing ideal lighting for the face. If placed on either side of the vanity mirror, sconces can illuminate the bathroom wall tiles and appliances perfectly. It is best if sconces are placed on either side of a bathroom mirror that is not too wide. Sconce lighting is the perfect fixture for the master bath because you can control the intensity of the light in the large space. The sconce is placed about three-quarters of the way up the wall, directing light upward, which can create a dim and relaxing light. Sconces are the perfect type of lighting for around a bathtub because it can provide the dim mood lighting that can make bath time feel like a trip to the spa.

If the bathroom vanity mirror is too wide, the sconces will not provide adequate lighting towards the middle of the mirror. The toilet area is also the ideal place to use sconces in the bathroom. This area of the bathroom does not require as intense bright lighting as other areas, such as the shower. It can therefore be more cost-effective, and stylish, to place a bathroom sconce near the toilet to illuminate that area of the bathroom shower tile designs. Sconces are not the ideal type of lighting for right near showers because of the low bowl-shaped design. This design can easily collect water, so if placed low on the wall near a shower, can be dangerous. Sconces also effectively diffuse light throughout rooms, making them a great choice of light fixtures for the bathroom. Overhead lighting is best to be used to make small bathrooms appear larger while illuminating the shower area because it is cheap and does not pose as great a risk.

If light fixtures diffuse light properly, you can use a lower wattage bulb in the sconce. By using a lower wattage bulb you can reduce the amount of electricity that you use and save energy. Because you do not necessarily need to illuminate your entire bathroom every time you use it, many sconces come equipped with a rheostat feature that allows you to control the lighting levels. This allows you to brighten only designated areas and focus on bathroom wall decor rather than the entire room. This feature of bathroom sconce lighting is also good when you want to create mood lighting for a relaxing soak in the tub at night, but have the bathroom brightly illuminated for makeup application during the day. Bathroom sconce lighting comes in many different styles, shapes, and colors; which one you choose depends on the design theme you are going for.

This type of bi-directional light design provides the bathroom with more light than the traditional uni-directional light and is therefore not as good for providing dim mood lighting. However, if you want your bathroom to be brighter, a bi-directional sconce is the right choice. Regardless of the material, style, or bathroom paint colors of the sconces, these types of light fixtures provide a beautiful bathroom accent with adequate lighting.
