Bedroom Lighting

This is an area so often neglected. Consider the number of functions required of a bedroom.For Dressing you need plenty of general lighting or, if your partner has to rise at a different time, do you need a lower level pool of lighting in which won't disturb them? A well positioned down lighter will help here.

Many people read in bed and with a double room, it is useful to have bedside lighting, which are individually switched. Adjustable reading lamps are ideal if you want to read while your partner sleeps. For convenience and safety you should aim to have all of the bedroom lighting controlled from the bed.

Dressing tables used for make-up will need more specific lighting and the use of two slender table lamps either side of a mirror gives a good working light without glare and will add to the cosy effects of the room.Try to create pools of lighting to reduce any hard contrasts. Adding a table lamp or lighting up pictures will be very effective.
