I have gone into overkill with lighting. The room has a center overhead light with ceiling fan. I had my son install track lighting- like Feathers n Fur said- very hot in the summer, but in a basement might be okay. Then I have a floor lamp and a wall lamp too for specific lighting, also because I tend to go in there when I can't sleep. At 3am you don't want all those lights on! My concern about a fluorescent is that like your makeup, you will never see the true colors of your fabric.
