The right bedroom lighting will help you wind down at the end of the day.  But you also need strong lighting so you can get dressed in the morning. Here's some tips;

* Wall lights positioned either side of the bed provide ideal reading lights, and swing-arm lights can be pulled right across the bed to the correct position.

* Dressing tables need to be lit from both sides to avoid dark shadows across your face.

* Matching bedside lamps on  bedside tables bring a hotel-style to a bedroom by creating symmetry. They also provide ideal task lighting.

* Fit a switch near the bed so you don't have to get out to turn lights on and off.
