Bedroom recessed lighting

I could use help figuring out where to put recessed lights in my weirdly-shaped bedroom--if anywhere! The room gets almost no natural light during the day.


I am planning to get a ceiling fan installed that has a light kit, but those tend to have a 16 or 18 watt LED, which I don't think will be enough ambient light for the whole room, which is 15' x 13' 9" at the widest points.


I'm also getting pendant lights put in on either side of the bed, but they will most likely be task lighting that points only downward, so having one on won't disturb the person sleeping on the other side.


I'd thought of putting two small recessed lights above the bed close to the wall (which will have tin tile on it) as a wall washer. Is that enough? Should something go above the dresser or by the mirror (at the bottom of the image, between the two closets)?
