I’ve noticed over the years that bathroom lighting often sets the mood more than we expect, especially when it warms up all the white tile and chrome. Antique brass pieces fit right into that, giving a rich layer without overwhelming the daily rush of getting ready. They stand out first over the sink. In real homes, that subtle glow makes mornings feel less stark and evenings more relaxing. One or two of these caught my eye for our powder room update next month.
