Hello,

I am currently trying to solve a problem in our guest bathroom. Contrary to the original plan, the light connection for the toilet was installed on the wall instead of the ceiling, directly above the washbasin. A mirror is supposed to be installed there.

The bathroom is very small, only 2 sqm (22 sq ft).

Do you have any solutions for this issue? Would lighting from a mirror with built-in illumination be sufficient? Do you have any experience with that?

I have attached a picture of the bathroom. Unfortunately, the light connection is not visible. You can roughly see where the light comes from. At the moment, there is a bare bulb holder installed.

Small bathroom with wall-mounted toilet, wall-hung washbasin, chrome faucet, and gray patterned floor tiles.

We only had one light above the mirror before, and that was definitely enough since the bathroom was under 2 square meters (about 21.5 square feet).

Best regards,

Definitely! Our guest bathroom is a bit larger, and we only installed a mirror with built-in lighting, which is sufficient. You just need to choose the mirror carefully...
Or you could use a strong wall light directly above the mirror, or a mirror attachment light. There are plenty of options...

By the way, I really like your tiles.

We have both in the shower toilet; one light is more than enough. Nice tiles.

Light at the mirror would definitely be enough; it doesn’t have to be permanent lighting in the guest bathroom.
Yeah, the tiles are cool. We have the same or very similar ones, but in bluish.

That’s also a common approach. Since there needs to be lighting above the mirror anyway (to illuminate the face), and in a guest bathroom that is usually sufficient when the light is off.
There are also stylish mirrors with integrated lighting.
