Lighting
Tips: Bedroom
Most master bedrooms are multi-purpose areas. It's a
place for sleeping, reading, being intimate, watching TV or, in my house,
sometimes even eating. So it makes sense to have a lighting arrangement
that is flexible.
Installing dimmers is the first step. Dimmers allow
you to adjust your lighting to the mood you want to create.
Another good general guideline is to have multiple lights
in your bedroom. Dual swing-arm wall lamps above your headboard allow
you to read while your partner sleeps - or you to sleep when he/she
types away on the laptop. It's a must-have.
Also consider using task lights. Vanity lights for the
dresser, hidden lights in the closet and sturdy ceiling lights for pillow
fights. Nothing affect us quite the way light does - and having the
lighting arrangement to suite the mood can do wonders.
