What Kind of Lighting Does Each Room Need?

2. Bedroom

Aim for a cozy, insular atmosphere: Place sconces or bedside lamps by the bed—but not pointed directly at it. On a low table, include a small, intimate lamp with a tinted low-wattage bulb to mimic candle light.Use a 4- to 6-watt LED bulb for reading. To prevent shadows, the lamp should be between your head and the page.
