2. All-in-One Winner
This renovated Texas en suite bathroom by Heidi Arwine Interiors has mirrors with integrated LED lighting, giving a cleaner look to the space around the room’s two blue-gray vanities (Foggy Day by Sherwin-Williams). The homeowners can dim the lighting as well as change its color.
3. Concrete Chic
Two concrete pendant lights hang above a custom floating hickory vanity in this spa-like Asheville, North Carolina, bathroom by Align Design. The pendants flank a large round mirror with a wood shelf, and join a woven shade light (reflected in the mirror) and recessed LEDs in the shower and toilet area to create a layered lighting scheme. All of the lights are on dimmers to help give the bathroom a warm and cozy feel.
4. Golden Glam
This Needham, Massachusetts, bathroom by J.P. Hoffman Design Build features two two-light midcentury-style sconces in an aged brass finish that complements the gold mirror frames, gold widespread faucets and gold details on the custom blue-gray vanity. Contoured glass shades on the lights coordinate with the glass handles on the vanity.
5. Coastal Curves
Three curved sconces echo two arched mirrors and arched faucets in this playful Washington state guest bathroom by Heiser Designs. Matte black finishes used throughout the room add a touch of drama. A rift-cut white oak vanity provides warmth, and the watery green shower tiles bring fresh coastal style.
6. Bold Strokes
Two black powder-coated wall mirrors help fill space and add a graphic element to the white walls in this Burton, Texas, bathroom by Studio Fain. Black-and-glass lights over the mirrors complement other black details that pop against the light finishes.
7. Glass Act
In this Plymouth, Minnesota, bathroom by Crystal Kitchen + Bath, three pendant lights of recycled blue glass coordinate with a decorative band of 1-inch blue-green hexagonal glass tile in the bathroom’s new low-curb shower. A large wood-framed mirror complements the walnut double vanity.
8. Beach Trip
A two-light fixture in a brass finish adds a vintage touch to this otherwise beachy Austin, Texas, bathroom by Parsons i.d. A wood-framed mirror echoes the custom white oak vanity, which features fluted details that nod to the similarly textured wall tile surrounding the tub.
9. Powder Punch
This Dedham, Massachusetts, powder room by Eleven Interiors and Vin Gadoury Construction features a dramatic style with blue penny tile and a striated blue-and-gold wallcovering. The round brass-framed mirror picks up the gold tones in the wallcovering and helps soften the hefty look of the quartz countertop. Three glass pendant lights set at varying heights add a wow factor.
10. Texas Touch
In this bright and breezy Frisco, Texas, bathroom by designer Katherine Milljour (who worked on the project for Huntington Remodeling), an oversize custom black-framed mirror hangs above a custom alder vanity. Aged brass sconces with sleek white silk shades flank the mirror and go with the champagne bronze faucets, shower fixtures and other details.

1. Bronze Beauties
Two pairs of one-light sconces featuring a rich bronze finish and natural paper shades flank bronze-framed arched mirrors in this revamped Oklahoma bathroom by Kirby Home Designs and Stewart Carpentry & Home Repair. The finish coordinates beautifully with the warm, earthy taupe vanity color and Taj Mahal quartzite countertop. The lights are on dimmers, allowing the homeowners to set the mood as needed.
