I’m thinking porcelain. One (or two) of these options, maybe?
- Truman, Schoolhouse Electric (available in black or white)
- Rufus, Rejuvenation (available in black, white, or green)
- Selma, Rejuvenation (available in black, white, or green)
- Alabax Surface, Schoolhouse Electric (available in black or white)

definitely go with an uplight
Ana
I’d go with #2 because it takes 2 bulbs and will give you more light, which will be important in a small basement bathroom. But if you have space, then using a pair of either #1 or #3 on either side of a mirror would look really good (like in DoorSixteen’s bathroom).
I have the same shortlist of bathroom lighting options for my upcoming remodel, but unfortunately the space is too tight to get a pair of sconces in. Allow me to live vicariously through you. :)

I vote for #3
Andrea
I think #2 is fantastic! Btw, #2 & #3 are available in green, black or white porcelain! (I work for Rejuvenation!) #1 is really cute too but I don’t think #4 is very bathroom appropriate.
Amanda
I think #4 is really fun!
nanne
i love the green one!
Kelly
I really like #1, but agree with niki, #3 is a close second.
also, when we were looking for wall-mounted lighting options for our place, we ended up finding a really great one at a local architectural salvage shop.
Amanda Fellers
#3!
Niki
In love with option #1. Close second is option #3.

I love #3 and my husband nickname is the name of the #1, I can’t decide!!
Kristin
I like #2, the style is great!
Esther
LOVE number 3 but it may just be the sexy green that is swaying me. No, I’ve thought about it seriously and it is number 3
misshotcakes
there are already so many votes, but I’d say 2 or 3, depending on if you want color or not on your fixture! those two are amazing! :) I can’t wait to see the finished product!
Shoshana
I vote for #2 because #4 looks trendy to me and I fear that means it could look dated later on.
Jane
LOVE number 3. And I meant to say last week how excited I am about the spring Pantone colors. Gorgeous!
monique
I adore the Selma (the jade one).

#3 – most definitely. Thanks for the links – I’m all about home improvement these days
Christine
Hi! I’m a longtime reader of your blog. I’m doing some online Christmas shopping, and I thought you’d like this. It’s not pink, but….
I still think it’s cute
:)

I vote for #4!
Monica
#4 has my vote.
CostumeDiva
I really like 3 and 4 but in white. I always think white is best for a bathroom, then you’re never stuck with a color scheme.
Christine
ooo! I love the retro feel of all these, especially #2 and #4.
Carole
#2 is my fav, but not in black–maybe in green?
Suzanna
I love the green one!! #3! :)
Lisa
i’m really liking 3 and 4.
Theresa
I think #1 looks like an awful hotel hallway sconce; #3 is definitely my pick!
Adrienne
I asked for #2 for Christmas. I also want the matching switchplate and towel hooks. :)
Nolita Morgan
Really like #3!!
becah
I’m about to put #2 & #3 in my new bathroom, I think they’re both gorgeous! I’ve never been disappointed with anything from Rejuvenation (and have forked over a small fortune to them over the years). I think the green porcelain is lovely, but I decided to hold back and keep all the permanent fixtures in the bath black and white so I will forever have flexibility with color in there. You can’t go wrong with a deco bathroom!

I’d buy #3, myself! Lovely!
amy
love #3, but the only one i don’t like is #4. like the bulb, don’t care for the fixture.
Joy
I have #2 is my bathroom. We redid the bathroom of our 1921 bungalow that had previously been remodeled in the 80s. I love the fixture, but it is a bit smaller than I imagined and rather understated as a result. In hindsight, I wish I had gone with two of the single-bulbed fixtures, like #3, one on each side of the medicine cabinet.
Cheyenne
Tough choice…could totally see #3 for you but, I like #2 so, that’s my vote. #2!
Danielle@Newlyweds Paradise
Hmmm…they all are cute in their own way. I think it’s hard to pick my favorite without knowing what you are doing in the bathroom.
Kellie
I love #3 but that could be because I have one myself although mine is a vintage one I found for $4 :)
April
I like #4!!
liz @ btb
# 1 or # 3!!
Noni
Love #3 (it’s darling), but I had to laugh out loud at the description (“…due partly to their low cost…”) and the price they’re offering for it ($100). Or, perhaps, this is a parallel universe type situation and $100 for a machine-cast fixture really is “low cost”.
Tarcia
I like #3.
Breenah
I like two and four. But I also love black and white everything.
Jenn L @ Peas and Crayons
#3 all the way =)
Ana@ Rearranged Design
#4 with every fiber if my being.

*OF*
I am way more sure of #4 than I am of my own spelling!
ashleyD
i adore 3, but 4 would be amazing in my own home!
Zoe - A Quick Study Paper Goods
I think I like #2 the best!
meryl rose
Love love LOVE #3!

Love Schoolhouse Electric. But my vote is for #3.

I used to live in a 1920s Tudor cottage-style home that had a vintage [original to the house, I’m sure] light fixture above the sink eerily similar to Selma. I LOVED it. That’s where my vote is going!
Allison
I’m going to be honest and say I strongly DISLIKE #1, but I LOVE 2 & 3. 4’s not bad, but it doesnt make my heart skip a beat. I think 1 kind of looks like a contractor special for an industrial building. Kinda cheap.
Cant wait to see the finished outcome!
Jen K
I vote for 1 or 4!
donaville
I love the industrial look of all of these. I’m really drawn to #3 :)
Jill
I have a fixture from Schoolhouse Electric that I LOVE. They’re a great company to work with! All look like great options though for sure!
Jules
I’m assuming you’re going for #4 plus a wall sconce? I don’t love any of them, but I’m sure it’s the picture/context (I always expect mid century from you). Schoolhouse Electric and Rejuvenation are both excellent companies–anything from there will look great! :)
Making it Lovely
I love mid-century, but not for lighting. Other than a sputnik fixture, but there’s no way I’d have space in the little half-bath.
Jules
I have an original quasi-sputnik in my entry way. It’s so small, I guess it’s more like a sputter.
Katie Truelove
I love both 3 & 4!
Jillian
I used #2 in my powder room and a coordinating ceiling fixture in the adjacent mudroom. They both made me so happy every time I looked at them. I purchased fixtures from Rejuvenation for my living room, entry, stairway and upstairs hall as well, and they were all gorgeous. You won’t be disappointed no matter which one you go with, but my vote is for #3.
Diana Smith
#3…green is very pretty!
Ray
I love number 3! Actual heart felt love!
Allison
I love the retro look of #3. #1 and #2 look quite plastic and cheap, though maybe they’re better in person? #4 just makes me think of an upside down coffee filter holder!
Stephanie
I vote #4!!!
Kris Mays
I LOVE the green one.
Kate
I love the jadeite one!
