Bathroom mirrors come in many different shapes, sizes, and styles: rectangular, round, oval, special shapes, with and without frames, and large to small.

Decorative wall light fixtures mounted on each side of a standard mirror will illuminate both sides of the face evenly, without shadows. A wall bracket lighting fixture can also be mounted across the top of the mirror. Fixtures using incandescent bulbs behind glass or plastic diffusers emit the most flattering light.

The main function of a mirror, of course, is to reflect light. While all objects reflect some amount of light (or else they could not be seen), mirrors are made to reflect light to such a degree that they reproduce the pattern of whatever is in front of them. Mirrors can be used in many different ways; for example, if a mirror is positioned to reflect a window, it will bring the outdoors inside. Decorative bathroom mirror arrangements can lighten, brighten, and cheer up a bathroom. You also have the option of extendable, lighted magnifying bath mirrors in a variety of finishes. Decorative mirrors range greatly in price.

An important element in design, mirrors can completely change the look of the bathroom. A mirror may be used to accent a favorite object in the room, increasing its presence. The styles of the mirror, vanity, and lighting fixtures should all match. Traditional styles of mirrors look best framed, especially when an oval shape. Contemporary styles, circular or rectangular in shape, look good unframed and beveled.

The mirror frame should be matched to the vanity cabinetry to give a harmonious look. The vanity size will determine the size of the mirror. The bathroom mirror should never extend beyond the sides of the vanity. If light fixtures are installed on either side of the mirror, the outside edge of the lights may slightly exceed the width of the vanity and still look good. In a small bathroom, mirror sidelights can illuminate the entire room, but in large bathrooms, a ceiling light fixture is also needed to provide sufficient general lighting.

Portraying the spirit of the Wild West, rustic Western lighting fixtures come adorned with actual deer antlers and pine cones or artistic renditions of trout, elk, and buffalo, among other wildlife.

The sportsman or woman can find lamps decorated with snowshoes, bows and arrows, a fishing reel, and boat paddles. These lamps can enhance the decor of a farmhouse, country cabin, or cottage in the mountains. Stepping back to frontier days, wagon wheel chandeliers and tin-punched lighting offer unique turn-of-the-century decor. To get you started on furnishing your home with Western lighting decor, here are some fixture options you might consider.

Bear Lamps and Chandeliers

Bear lamps, sconces, and chandeliers typically capture a bear scene. Bears and cubs ambling on all fours, walking upright among the pine trees, climbing trees, or catching fish are some examples. These scenes capturing the spirit of the bear might be three dimensional or flat. They might decorate the lamp shade or the base or both. You’ll find them in both wood and metal. Artistic metal fixtures often have soft rust finishes and shades in amber mica. Some shades are made of faux leather.

Wagon Wheel Chandeliers

Depending on the material, a wagon wheel chandelier may be authentic or a reproduction. An authentic wagon wheel chandelier is made from a real antique wagon wheel, while a reproduction is usually made from medium density polyethylene, a durable, lightweight material. Reproductions should come with all the necessary features: a chain, globe or hurricane lights, and a light fixture. While both are attractive, an authentic wagon wheel chandelier will certainly cost more than a reproduction. It could cost as much as four times more. However, an authentic fixture is a great conversation piece and gives you a true haunt from the past.

Antler Lighting Fixtures

As with the wagon wheel chandelier, you can buy an authentic antler light fixture or a reproduction. You can be assured that absolutely no harm is done to a deer or elk in the making of an antler lamp or chandelier. Antlers are collected on trails where annual antler shedding occurs. An authentic antler fixture will cost considerably more than a reproduction.
