What's the best way to light a bathroom vanity? 6 designer-approved ideas for the perfect blend of ambiance and functionality

A large neutral bathroom with a taupe vanity, black pill-shaped mirrors, and glass vanity lights.

Don't underestimate the power of good vanity lighting. It's an element that brings a lot to the proverbial table – it's an opportunity for a decorative moment with statement fixtures, but it's also key to being able to get ready in the mornings with sufficient light.

So, when you're planning your bathroom lighting, remember to factor in how you illuminate your bathroom vanity.
