Lighting Design Dilemma Bathrooms

Bathroom lighting, one light source

7 years ago

I live in Mexico where most of the construction is concrete/cinder block. I am renovating a 5 x 8 bathroom with only one light source (above the sink, on the wall). Not realistic to put anything on the ceiling, but I need to get some better light in here! Help?

iI have overhead lights above the sink but also have a lamp sitting on my vanity. Those are the only two lights I have in my bathroom. The lamp can be any height you want....mine is like a buffet lamp...tall and slim.

Use a fixture with clear glass shades and LED bulbs in the 3500-4000K range for a clear, white light.
