This is old school technology and hasn't been done for years in construction. What used to happen, the bathroom being a small room didn't have much ceiling area. Centrally locating the heat lamp fixture to a good position sometimes positioned the fixture in the radius of the in-swinging bathroom door. On many occasions the door was left under the heat lamp with the lamp on and the door caught fire from the build up of heat from the lamp. The electrical code made a revision to keep the fixture out of the arc radius of the door and this made for some strange locations of the fixture. The installing of heat lamp fixtures has just gone out of favour. It has been replaced with in floor heating in bathrooms.
For optimal ventilation, a bathroom fan should be installed on the ceiling near the shower or bathtub to effectively remove moisture and odors.
For optimal ventilation, place the bathroom exhaust fan near the shower or bathtub to remove moisture and odors effectively. It should be installed on the ceiling or wall, preferably near the source of steam and odors.
This fan should be installed in a bathroom of no more than 100 square feet.
A towel bar in a bathroom should typically be installed at a height of 48 to 52 inches above the floor.
I would paint the ceiling white, especially since the bathroom is small. If you are using a deep red color, it could make the bathroom appear even smaller, and painting the ceiling red could make you feel boxed in. A while ceiling will help to create a more open feeling.
