Lighting is a very powerful tool in any room of the house, and especially in the bedroom, where it also needs to be versatile. You’ll need overhead lighting for locating that stray sock early in the morning; bedside lighting on both sides – but independent of each other – in case you want to read but your partner needs to sleep; dimmers to create a romantic setting and a lamp in the corner to sit by and read. If you're lucky enough to be designing your bedroom from scratch, you can order custom-fitted lights that can be located where you want and will match in with the rest of your bedroom furniture – as in the picture. Like this bedroom? It's been put together by IKEA. See the stockists’ page for more details.
