How to illluminate a bedroom

5/03/2019

It is true that the bedroom is used mainly for sleeping, but the atmosphere you create in this room, using lighting, will be the most important element;  for general living, reading and resting.  Your thoughts and imagination will be unconsciously influenced by the mood and psychophysical balance of this lighting.  A room should have a main light and then other points of light, created according to need;  meals, work, reading, rest, TV or tablet and also for purely decorative goals.
