• Have a good mix of task and background lighting.
• It is not good to have too many lights in the bedroom.
•  The light should be soft from matching bedroom lamps.
•  Some time in summer season natural light gets too bright. In such situation use well-designed blinds are helpful to diffuse and control the light.
• The color of the ceiling, walls, bedcover and furniture will affect how much lighting is needed, use light color on walls which reflect light better than darker or more saturated or dark colors.
 
• Provision for bed switch should be done so that you are able to use the light from the bed. This is to prevent the need to get out of bed prior to nodding off.

• It is better that  to have provision of indirect light like under a pelmet or above a cabinet  which will supply soft uniform illumination
• Use dimmers for different lighting moods because with a dimmer, you are able to control artificial light to suit your mood and the range of activities.
• The architectural features like niches, mantles etc should be designed.
• Be sure that the floor table and hanging fixtures have adequate shades to prevent glare.
 
• In case of high ceiling, where general lighting does not reach, you should install false ceilings with overhead down lights by doing this the entire room have sufficient lighting.
• At the time of reading and writing,  use floor lamp light with a bulb shielded from the eyes which have adjustable shade that throws a direct ray of light to the exact spot you need it.
• Indirect lighting creates flattering glow can be obtained by providing folding screens either of fabric or wood or paper on pivotal hinges can be sole alternative to curtains and shutters for diffusing light.

It might be behind the door. One no power point is needed for supply of light to the floor standing lamp which have halogen of 150 watts.
• Lighting at the dressing table should be soft and even. Ideally, the light should be placed above the mirror, on both sides. Use halogen and incandescent bulbs over fluorescent ones.
•  For reading in bedroom, use an adjustable glare-free wall-mounted lamp that casts the light where you want it, so you don’t disturb your sleeping partner. A table lamp with an adjustable arm and shade will also do. Just make sure the lamps are compatible with your room decor.
