Picking a midcentury bathroom vanity light

Next step in our bathroom refresh is to pick a light to replace the boring, standard one someone added at some point. Here’s what’s in the room now:

Original tile and vanity — need to replace the light.

We didn’t find any used / thrifted lights off Craigslist or Offerup, so we’re going ahead with getting a brand new one, staying with a midcentury, chrome look.

Having new, brighter light in here will really help brighten up the room. It’s a fairly small bathroom space so more light will really make it feel bigger and brighter.

I asked my awesome Insta followers for some help in picking from a few options. I narrowed down to three options — all with a chrome, 4-bulb layout to get the most light we can.

These are the three I came down to. The popular vote from my followers was B — which is awesome because that’s also the one that we decided would be best as well. See my homegrown little Photoshop mockup as well. I am a sucker for any globe lights…I think they just look so perfect in a midcentury space.

I found it on Amazon for about $170 — so we’re going to give it a try.

They also had it in a beautiful gold color. I really am loving all the gold-fixtured bathrooms lately, but with everything else in the bathroom being chrome — hardware, shower stall and towel bars, we’re going to stick with it.

So we have a few more steps before we get to putting the light up…still working on cleaning the tile to no end, need to caulk, paint and just get prepped for that space.

I’ll loop back with photos once we get it up!

A few other lights I love!
