12 Illuminating Powder Room Light Fixture Ideas
Take your half bath from boring to bright with these ultra-trendy lighting accessories.
Lighting a small space can be tricky, but you don’t have to compromise style! The best part about pulling together a powder room is that you can shop outside of the bathroom aisle and look at fixtures that were originally intended for other rooms inside (and outside!) your home. Whether you’re looking for a linear vanity piece or two stately sconces, here are a few inspirational lighting ideas to brighten up your pocket bathroom.
