Create that cosy feeling in your bedroom with the warm glow of yellow light. You could opt for lamps with cloth or handmade paper or any other natural material. Go in for earthy colours like tan, beige, chocolate brown or even ochre and shades of cream.

You could go in fro two bedside table lamps or a single standing lamp. A great accompaniment would be Maspar's collection of bed linen in earthy colours.

Indian Elegance

If yours is an ethnic bedroom, go with the flow and use bedside lamps with shades made of fabrics like raw silk. You could also have lampshades with loads of embellishments. From sequins to hanging crystals and tassels, choose one that matches the colours of your room.

Shades of turquoise, bright pink, orange and leafy green would be perfect. Just make sure the lamps have dimmers. Otherwise it could be land up being too bright.

'Fun'ctional Beauties

For all you bookworms who just can't fall asleep with a magazine or novel, a functional reading light above your head is a must. It would be better to opt for white light. Don't worry. As boring as it sounds, here is how you can spice it up a little.

You could opt for a plain black light shade that rotates. This way you can focus the light on your book instead of on your bed so that your hubby doesn't get disturbed. Paint the lampshade in funky colours with an abstract print or just a couple of flowers or paisleys that match the décor of your room.
