I’ve found that in actual en-suite bathrooms, pendant lights over the vanity shift the space from purely practical to a spot where you actually unwind. They catch your eye right away when you step in, especially at dawn or dusk, and help the room breathe instead of feeling stark. Scale matters most here. The ones that hang at elbow height without crowding the mirror tend to make mornings easier and evenings more soothing. A few from this set feel worth sketching out for my own powder room refresh.
