DESIGNING WITH LIGHT
FOR THE BEDROOM

When lighting a bedroom, you will want to create an overall atmosphere of quiet relaxation, while providing some brighter areas for reading and other tasks.

General lighting can be provided by ceiling fixtures, chandeliers, fan lights, recessed downlights, or wall sconces, giving you the illumination you need to dress and see into drawers and closets.
