Wholesale Globes

Should the globes on the lighting fixtures in my bathroom be the same color as the sink, tub and toilet?

My sink, tub and toilet are going to be white, should the globes on the sconces and chandelier also be white?

1. It depends on the color of the walls, because you need contrast. Also, take into consideration if your going use them as a main source of light.
2. sure...why not? Get a job and a life.
3. Globes are usually white as far as I know. But if you can get them in different colors, you can match them to the color of your tiles or a complementary color. You can and should use any color that you like. Do whatever appeals to you.
4. I dont think anyone is going to look at your Globes while the light is on an compair the color to the toilet . Sorry but ................!!!!!!
5. Decorator to the rescue here! LOL Your globes can be whatever color you want them to be, just keep in mind a few other things before you decide. If you are having having white or cream walls, and you want plain/ neutral globes, go with ones the same as the wall color. For example, cream globes on a white wall will look dirty, go with white. Or, if you have say a white and black granite counter, go with white. If you have an earth toned counter go with cream. Buy a globe of each color, put it on the fixture. Your eye will tell you which is the right choice. HOWEVER, no need to be plain unless that is the look you like, as they come in a great array of colors- even a tortoise shell glass, so let your imagination play. I'd suggest starting at Lowe's. They have a wide array of globes placed on bulbs so that you can see what they look like when fixture is on. Do keep in mind that if it's a main bath you use for makeup, etc, a lot of colored globes can distort true skin tones. Again, for example, if you have a 3 or 4 light fixture, buy 3 or 4 globes that you like, put them all on and decide which works with your decor/ taste, then return the ones that didn't work or just exchange them for more of the one that did. Sorry about some of these silly replies! EVERYTHING you put into your home matters and you are not the first person to ask the exact question.
6. definitely not they should be pink with reddish orange dots
