Hi Nic, As kiki indicates, having just a light above will potentially cause shadows, and the uneveness of the light can be problematic for some. to opt for a mirror which already has lighting built in (either top & bottom, both sides or all round) is preferable - and needn't break the bank. If you wanted to spend a little more, then we would recommend HiB mirrors - excellent quality, and the lighting is top notch, with some mirrors allowing you to vary the light from "cool" through to "warm". While some look "bathroomy", not all do! For a simpler, less expensive unit, I'd recommend the Pura Luna - it is by far our best selling mirror, and comes in a variety of sizes. List price starts at £240 (though you can usually find them well discounted!), and they're easy to install. The lights top & bottom are very subtle, so do not look too bathroomy, especially when unlit If you still prefer a retro-fit light over your mirror, then check out websites for Sensio and Sycamore lighting - should find some nice options there too.

Hi minipie, thank you for confirming what I felt was right in my gut :) The bathroom is a family one and is used mainly by my 3 fast growing girls , so I have to keep in mind that they will be performing their beautifying in there in a few years! Would it be totally ridiculous to move the vanity right up against the window so we have equal visual space and I have more room to put lights on either side of the mirrored fixture? I have about 30 cm on one side and 10cm on the other side of the vanity ( not nearly enough to comfortably install side lights). If I butt it against the stud wall, 30cm on both sides of the mirror and 20cm on both sides of the vanity. Hope I’m making sense?

What colour to accent the room??
Q

Hi Chris. I went for a very similar dark grey in my dining room too and opted for pale ivory damask curtains. Only reason I went for ivory is that the white gloss on the architraves and dado rail has yellowed over the years so they matched quite well...and they were a sales bargain:) To be fair I only did a quick tart up hence not refreshing the woodwork. Your dining room gets a lot more light than mine and there’s a lot of green reflected from the plants outside so considering your furniture I might opt for a very pale washed linen for a natural soft look or if you want to be brave with colour I think a dupion silk or velvet can look very opulent. I think there are lots of colours that could work well. I like the jewel colours like teal or emerald green, fuschia pink or burnt orange, perhaps yellow even. I opted for a natural green as an accent colour in our dining room, seemed to work well with the charcoal grey and ivory. Here’s some more inspo pics:
