First on our list is an industrial light fixture that would look absolutely charming in a bathroom, just above the mirror. It’s a three-bulb wall-mounted piece similar to a sconce, made of wood and metal pipe pieces and fittings. This industrial bathroom light fixture works perfectly with Edison-style light bulbs.

This cute fixture has a wire cage shade which frames it beautifully without concealing the bulb inside, a lovely look with a strong industrial vibe. The design is completed by a wooden L-shaped frame which allows the fixture to be attached to a wall and the lampshade to hang a few inches away from it. You can adjust the length of the cord as needed. Check out the instructions on createandfind.
