Types

• Different types of lighting are necessary depending on who the bedroom belongs to. For instance, if you're decorating a bedroom for your baby, a light with a dimmer may be best if your baby doesn't like sleeping in complete darkness. A bedroom for you and your spouse may feature several lamps to showcase various parts of the room, such as the vanity or reading area.
  
  

Function

• If you have several light fixtures in your bedroom, they should serve specific functions. For instance, small lights installed on or near the headboard can be used for reading in bed, and small spotlights on certain artwork or pictures that are hanging on the walls will help to feature your loved ones or work by your favorite artist.
  
  

Considerations

• Even if you've used contemporary or modern decor in other parts of your home, you may want to go with a more traditional look in the bedroom. If this is the case, lighting fixtures in brass or antique style will look wonderful with traditional bedroom furniture. Also, bulbs that give off a warm orange or red glow can make the room seem warmer and more welcoming.
