Your new home is perfect in all respects, but it seems that something is missing out.
Though the previous occupant had spared no pains with the illumination plans, he had placed his bed in a different corner of the room.
Now that you have changed the layout of the room, you are facing illumination problems while reading books in the bed.
Apart from that there is insufficient lighting on your table top too.
These are some tips that may solve your problem.
You have different options available and a brief search of the net will provide you with various types of lighting accessories that are versatile and can be shifted from one place to the other.
Instead of purchasing a table lamp which provides limited illumination only to objects that are in close proximity to it and are at level with it or below it, why not opt in for a table lamp? The latter directs light over a wider area and can also illuminate objects that are far above the ground, including your bed.
These lamps are available in a wide range and are crafted out of materials as diverse as wood, steel, and brass.
You can select one that best suits the decor of your room.
The fixed lamp cannot be adjusted and cannot illuminate areas that are hidden due to shadows.
In fact fixed lamps are the main reason of shadows in different parts of a room.
These shadows can easily be banished with proper placement of a floor lamp.
