Bathroom lighting, how much is enough?

8 years ago

We are planning to have a chandelier in the center of our bathroom, recessed lights over tub and over shower, and 2 light/exhaust fans over each vanity. Plans are for 2 sconces on each vanity. Wil this be sufficient lighting or should we do a fixure over the mirrors instead?
Thank you!
