A COZY CORNER If you have the room , it ’ s nice to put a comfy chair , side table and lamp ( just make sure it doesn ’ t turn into a laundry dumping ground ).
LIGHTING Lighting is key everywhere but particularly in the bedroom . I love to do an overhead light with either sconces or table lamps . A quick tip with table lamps is that the bottom of the shade should hit your shoulder for perfect reading lighting .
DON ’ T FORGET ABOVE OR BEHIND THE BED I ’ m not usually one for focal walls — except in a bedroom . I love the idea of the wall behind the bed being painted a contrasting color , wallpapered or adorned with some art above the bed .
