Bathroomsneed lights near the mirror to give shadoweless illumination to a person’s face. Which can be achieved by bands of light on all sides of the mirror. General illumination from a ceiling fixture or two is needed to light the rest of the room.
Bedroomsmerit light for dressing, reading in bed, and such activities as desk work, reading or sewing. Direct-indirect lights over the bed, reading chairs, desks and chests of drawers, and direct lights near mirrors may be all that is needed, but some general lighting is usually advisable. If two people are sharing the room, then lighting needs to be planned according to activities and also should be flexible.
