Black bathroom light fixtures and finishes are gaining popularity in recent years and I believe they are here to stay. They look good in any style and are easy to mix with other metals.

FAQ:

Can you mix metal finishes in one room?

You totally can! A sure way to do it is to choose a light fixture with two metal finishes combined. For example, a light fixture with black and gold elements is a perfect choice if you are trying to tie together black and gold elements in one room (for example black good handle and gold faucet).

How high should the vanity light be?

It should be 65-68 inches above the floor. See more tips in the Complete Bathroom Lighting Guide for Your Design Success

Farmhouse style fixtures

The farmhouse style is famous for its rustic elements.

It started naturally with people living on the farm and decorating with whatever they had available and making their houses pretty.

Farmhouse as a design style became popular beyond the rural areas thanks to the Fixer Upper star Joanna Gaines

Here are some light fixtures that would complete your farm-style bathroom design.

Modern Farmhouse Vanity Fixtures

The modern Farmhouse style is a perfect solution if you like the elements of the Farmhouse style, but you don’t want to take it so literally.

If you want your decor to be less rustic and more modern, yet still have the warm elements of the rural farmhouse, you can go with the Modern Farmhouse style.
