Mood creating bedroom light can be achieved using various lighting accessories apart from just sunlight. Some of the elements that can be used are
* Lampshades
* Spotlights
* Chandeliers
Let's take a closer look at these bedroom lighting accessories..
Lampshades
Lampshades are used primarily to create a focal point and direct the source of light in a restricted circumference of area. depending upon the nature of material used to build or design the lampshade the outcome of light will vary. Very creative uses of the lampshades can be done depending upon the shapes of lampshades. If brighter colored lampshades are use the light coming out of the lampshade create a wonderful mood in the surroundings of the bedroom.
Spotlights
Most of the times spotlights are used in multiple numbers when used for lighting purposes. Simply because the area covered by these kinds of light is very limited and focused. Spotlights are normally used to "enhance" a particular decorative element such as ceiling, or a painting on the wall. When spotlights are used in multiple numbers they can greatly add interest in the bedroom creating visual diversity.
Chandeliers
Chandeliers are a very common decorative element when the decorative theme of the bedroom is of oriental style. In the oriental design much greater attention is given to the details of the patters. That's why a chandelier can be a great way to add extra interest in the bedroom. Most chandeliers are top hung from the ceiling with single or multiple lighting arrangements. Chandeliers because of their heavy workmanship can cost thousands of dollars.
# Paint the room in a warm neutral color. Consider adding texture and depth to the walls with faux painting, stenciling, or rubber stamping.
I think rubber stamping is the easiest and fastest of these decorative painting techniques. There are thousands of stamp designs and the results can be very impressive. If you'd like to learn more, I recommend that you check out the book Creative Stamping for Walls & Furniture.
Faux finishes are also quite popular, and with good reason. They add depth and texture to your walls.

# Nothing kills romance faster than clutter...
So find appropriate storage spaces for papers, spare change, and other excess. If you have a small bedroom, eliminating clutter will make your bedroom look larger. If you could use some tools for getting clutter under control, check out Get Organized Now.
# Select the right bed and other furniture. Don't make the mistake of getting a bed that is too big for the room. And rather than buying the standard chest of drawers, why not try a large armoire.
Don't think you have to buy an entire matching bedroom set. You'll want plenty of space to move around. Click here to learn more about Selecting The Right Bedroom Furniture.
# No bed can be deemed romantic without lots of pillows. You'll want to use a mix of pillow sizes and shapes.
Start by propping two or more of the large, square-shaped, European-sized pillows against the headboard. They will look nicely behind rectangular pillows. Add texture and dimension by using various shaped small pillows covered in different weaves, finishes, laces, and tapestry.
# The lighting in your cozy bedroom should generally be low wattage. Consider using a three-way bulb in your side table lamps if you occasionally read in bed. And for special evenings, your bedroom decorating ideas should include romantic candlelight.
# Lay an area rug on your bedroom floor. The rug will add extra richness to your room. I placed an area rug at an angle, with a part of it slid underneath the foot of my bed. The effect is quite dramatic. (Note: It doesn't matter if your floors are hard or carpeted. This bedroom decorating idea is equally effective.)
# Add your own personal touches with these bedroom decorating ideas: Hang your favorite prints or photos in unusual frames; place a vase containing fresh flowers on your bedside tables; or display sculptures and figurines that reflect your personality and feelings.
