Proper lighting around the bathroom mirror is crucial for achieving optimal visibility and ambiance. For an evenly lit face, consider installing vertical sconces on either side of the mirror at eye level. This helps to minimize shadows and provides excellent illumination for grooming tasks. Alternatively, you can opt for a backlit mirror or one with integrated LED lights to create a soft, flattering glow. If you prefer overhead lighting, ensure it is positioned to eliminate shadows and not directly above the mirror, as this can cause unflattering shadows on your face. Remember to use LED bulbs for energy efficiency and minimal heat emission.
