Powder Room Lighting?

17 years ago

Our powder room is 5x6 with 10' ceilings (feels like a stairwell). The toilet and sink are on the same wall and we are tiling that wall, floor to ceiling with tumbled marble. The floor is a gray porcelain tile. Marble is white, toilet and wall-mounted sink are white. Walls will be some variation of a blueish gray with a slight purple undertone.

I fell in love with a Kovacs white chandelier, very graphic and modern and I think it would compliment the rest of the room quite well.

My question is...would a hanging light fixture with 1 100W bulb (will add a dimmer) be a problem in a room this size? It is just a powder room so daily "getting ready" isn't an issue, but I don't want cast major shadows on a face in the mirror.

My hope is that b/c the ceilings are so tall and if we are careful in how high/low we hang the fixture, it will serve more as ambient light in a room this small.

Do you think I need some sort of sconce/wall lighting as well?
