What to avoid while designing lights for a bedroom

When lighting a bedroom, it's important to avoid making the mistake of installing only overhead can lights or using too many of them. This common error can make the space feel flat and lack dimension, creating an unflattering atmosphere. Overhead lighting tends to wash out the room, which can make you appear older and more tired, as it emphasizes shadows and minimizes the warmth and coziness typically desired in a bedroom.
