Bright enough, but in the wrong places
A bathroom can look bright from the doorway while being awkward to shave or put makeup on in. The room is illuminated, but the light is arriving from above your head and leaving shadows around your eyes and chin. Adding another ceiling light may make the floor brighter without helping the mirror.
Task lighting means light placed for a particular activity. Here the task is seeing a face clearly. Ambient lighting is the gentler light that lets you use the whole room. Separating those jobs gives you a practical morning setting and a quieter evening one.
Compare the mirror with only the ceiling lights on, then with a suitable temporary light near face height. Notice the shadows and any reflection of the lamp in the glass. This is a way to understand the direction of light, not a substitute for having the final bathroom fitting and location assessed.
Start with the face
Light from beside or around the mirror can help, but position, diffusion and reflections still need attention.
Separate precision from atmosphere
Shaving, makeup and cleaning need different things from a quiet bath or a late-night visit. Layers let the room respond without making the mirror lighting do every job.
A discreet low-level source can make a night setting comfortable. It should still reveal the route and any changes of level.
Keep the fitting suitable for the location
Bathroom electrical requirements depend on the exact installation. Have the electrician assess locations and suitable equipment. A decorative fitting is not appropriate simply because it looks good in a bathroom photograph.
Test the finishes and light together. Warmth, brightness and colour quality all contribute. A restrained scheme can feel calm while remaining properly useful.
