Here, lamps, night lights and floor lamps located in the room will help create general lighting. You can connect them all with one switch, so that from the threshold you can immerse yourself in the soft and chamber atmosphere of the bedroom. Lamps will locally illuminate areas of the room. These include table lamps for the bedroom, the types and purpose of which deserve special attention.
