here is the picture of the shower inspiration...

How often do you use the sinks at the same time? I have a 60" double sink vanity against the wall with the door and it's cramped. I plan on changing to one sink, which will allow generous his and her drawer stacks, more counter space, and side sconces with a beautiful mirror.

we have enough room for the double vanity. the bathroom that we just demo'd had a double vanity and we both used our respective sides each day so we we are used to having our own sinks. we will have a 72'' vanity with double sinks.

Oh, sorry, I see now you said 6'.

I just came across this walnut vanity. Interesting how they made the drawers part of the sink base, allowing the sinks to move away from the edges. Isn't it a beauty? The vanity in your photo looks like cherry.

I would do one large mirror and mount sconces on the mirror, then have some overhead lighting.

I tend to prefer one large mirror, so I don't feel like I have to "line up" over the sink to use the mirror. It's also handy if your bathroom is in a location where some extra light bouncing around is helpful-- that may or may not be relevant to you. I like your choices so far. I like the dark tile, but using both flooring types with so much contrast between them will break up the room more than at least sticking with light or dark for both.

I'm sorry I meant 6 feet on the vanity! I guess maybe I could do something like in the shower tile photo - one large mirror with the sconces mounted on the mirror as mentioned. My concern is that my electrician is coming in tomorrow to finish roughing out the space so this is a decision I actually need to make ASAP!

The bathroom will actually have two windows in it so there will be a lot of natural light and I could do some sort of overhead lighting as well but not sure what you do for overhead lighting in a bathroom?

Side lighting is preferred by many because it doesn't put shadows on your face. If your sink is close to the edge of the vanity, you won't have room for a sconce on the wall end. If you can go with sconces, you could do a middle sconce also mounted on the mirror, which could be a double sconce to eat up some of the middle space. If not sconces, I'd do a full mirror (a few inches shorter than the countertop) with lights over the two sinks. Drawers on the sides of your vanity give you better spacing for lighting. I'd be browsing Houzz looking for inspiration pics right now!

I would do a Panasonic exhaust fan/light to give the shower some light in early morning/ night and for cleaning, though I'm not sure how much light they put out.

Not sure the dark grey floor tile you mentioned would do justice to the walnut vanity you are planning on.

I just redid my master bath and I have a 72" vanity as well. In my old bathroom I had two 3-light vanity lights on each side. I got ample lighting from this. My new bathroom features a tile BS so I went with two mirrors to help show off the tile. Unfortunately I realized the two previous wall lights were not centered with the new vanity set up so we just did two cans lights instead. The lighting isn't as good as before. I put makeup on in the morning so I need the light to ensure I don't leave the house looking like a clown :) I love the new set up and I feel like the can lights look more modern. I'm happy but the old lighting was brighter.

Can you do can lights and sconces?

I think your thoughts on a darker floor will look great. I went with a charcoal color tile and dark grout - it almost looks seamless and I love it. I also love the little hexagon tiles. Go with what feels right.

before and after...

Notice the old lighting - it was very bright.

thanks for your comments! there will be recessed lighting in the bathroom as well as a recessed light in the shower. plus two windows so the sconces will by no means be the only source of light.

What will be the first thing your eye lands on as you enter? That is, what is straight ahead of the door?

Our neighbours had a very expensive bathroom done similar to yours (with a very expensive designer). They moved plumbing and everything, had a custom vanity built but the first thing you see when you walk in is the toilet. The gorgeous shower and vanity are almost impossible to get good views of even when you are in the room, because they are on either side of the entrance.

straight ahead of the door would be a window - so figure everything is along the walls so vanity then toilet on the left side, shower tub on the right side and nothing on the far wall in front of you as you walk in but a window so i guess really the first thing you would see would be the vanity as you enter on the right side ...the toilet will be on the other side of the vanity.
