Layering is key to creating a beautifully lit bedroom. There are four types of interior lighting: Ambient, Task, Accent and Daylighting.
 
Ambient:
When designing your bedroom lighting remember to layer up, start with Ambient to distribute an even light through out the space think chandeliers and ceiling fixtures.

Task:
Task lighting for reading, dressing, make up application etc. The most functional light sources for reading include bedside and floor lamps or sconces. For cupboard spaces consider  LED down lights and when lighting a dressing table for applying make up its important to light your mirror from above and both sides.

Accent:
Accent lighting creates drama and visual interest use it to focus interest on specific items like your favourite picture, plant, sculpture or architectural feature.

Daylighting:
Daylighting is achieved through the use of sky lights and windows, there is a current trend to use skylights to create interesting architectural features.
