BEDROOM

CREATE A STANDOUT In a bedroom

with additional task lighting handy for

reading, opt for a sculptural shape

(below) with cut-outs to create pretty

shadows and wonderful ambience.

CURVES AHEAD

Consider a feature

pendant like a piece

of furniture. “It’s often

the final element that

pulls a room together,

so choose a style which

picks up on a material,

feature colour or

geometric lines existing

within the space,” says

Amy Harper-Pell of

Special Lights. >

PLAN IT OUT

Interior designer Jillian

advises asking your

electrician to hold up

pendants once furniture

is in place. “Bedside

pendant height should

be decided in relation

to your bed and

nightstand,” she adds.

LUXE LOOKS

To create a sense of

sophistication in the

bedroom, look to

incorporate artisan

pieces made out of

interesting materials.
