[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No overhead lighting in upstairs rooms/bedrooms. Everytime I read that decorators think bedrooms shouldn't have overhead lights because they need softer light from stand-alone lamps I get mad. One of the reasons I bought a new build house is so I could get all the lighting exactly right. I looked at about 40 existing houses before giving up (real estate price peak and modest budget in mainly older neighborhoods outside DMV).[/quote] We are immigrants and the no overhead lights in bedrooms and other areas of the house was extremely disconcerting to us. We have installed overhead lights in all rooms with dimmers. In the bedrooms, we have the light switches at the door as well next to our beds so that we can turn them off from next to bed also. Sure, we still have lamps but they are more akin to mood lights. I like layers of lights everywhere in the house and I can make the room brightly or dimly lit based on my needs. [/quote]
