small bathroom lighting and mirror dilemma

last year

Having a hard time trying to figure out a mirror and light combination for this small bathroom that I am doing for my two daughters… I wanted to do two mirrors so that they had some sort of individuality when looking into the mirror but I’m not sure that’s possible. We are only working with 60 inches of wall space with a 60” vanity. I would prefer to do sconces on the sides of the mirrors because the lighting is usually better on the face, but I may have to just do overhead or a vanity bar light?
The mirrors I found that I really liked are 20“ x 44“. The ceiling height is 8 feet. We are also talking about moving the light switches to other side of wall so i have more space to play with the mirror spacing.
Any thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated :)

Full wall mirror with over the mirror lighting. A lighting store can guide you on styles that are flattering. Other than maximizing visual space, wall outlets on the left side of vanity will make it necessary for both girls to us for hair appliances, toothbrushes, etc.

I would like one mirror with lights overhead.

I think your light switches next to the door are needed in that location.

What do the two switches control?

Any chance you can add an outlet on the right side? Dragging a cord across the sink doesn’t sound like a good idea. Not sure it it meets code, but can you add an outlet below the light switch, or even on the side of the cabinet, maybe in the middle?
