Powder room lighting etc

16 years ago

DH and I have finally agreed on the layout of the powder room! YAY! Now I need some help to spec the lighting, mirror size and, believe it or not, how to locate a trash can. The decor of the house will be traditional. However, I want to spice it up with some interesting objects outside typical traditional decor. So here are the places I need your help and comments:

1. Vanity side of partition. I really want an ornate mirror. The one I have drawn in is 36" wide x 48" high over the 59" vanity. Ceilings are 10'. Lighting issue- I have drawn in a typical chandelier over the vanity and it looks to busy with the mirror. Sconces stick out too far on either side. Can you suggest a lighting solution for an ornate mirror? Or, should I go with a more plain trim on the mirror and use a multi-layer chandelier? BTW- lighting on the toilet side of the partition is recessed.

2. The toilet side of the partition has plenty of room for a trash can by the toilet, so do you think I need trash on the vanity side for guest napkin/towels? I have not spec'd the drawer/cab opening under the vanity, so I could tuck one in under the sink. Just a little worried that a guest would not look for the trash under the sink in a powder room.

Thanks for any advice you can give,

Pam
