My home (well, technically my parents' ) will soon be undergoing a little renovation (eg, changing of window grilles, replacement of board ceiling, minimising of front door, maybe installation of another bathroom). My mum is cool with the idea of me paying for my own renovation cost, to do up the room of my dreams That naturally started off several bouts of blissful daydreaming (heh, hopefully my bosses didn't see the difference [img]tongue.gif[/img] )...

I started off wanting a cosy countryside theme (ie, wood-ish wardrobes, bedside table and desk), very much like what you'd see when you check into a hotel room or bed-and-breakfast. Add some yellow light, and I could imagine myself feeling really relaxed and happy, walking into that room every evening, after a hard day's work.

That was until we went window-shopping last weekend at a lighting store. The moment I saw the spotlights there, I sort of knew I was hooked. It seems so stylish, classic and fun to have them in your very own bedroom [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] But that also means that I'd have to modify my earlier countryside concept. Somehow, I think spotlights go with a more clinical, futuristic setting... also, can anyone tell me if it's not practical to have spotlights in the first place?? (eg, is the heat/lighting too intense, etc. etc.)

I'd very much like to hear your own views of what your perfect bedroom would be like (please feel free to throw in the details), if you'd care to share them. I need as many ideas and advice as I can get!
