You want to center the fixture above the bed {even if the bed is not in the center of the room}, 18″ above the bottom of the bed so the light is over your feet when you are sleeping This will keep the light out of the way of you walking along the bottom of the bed, and since you aren’t walking under it, you can get a taller fixture… {chandeliers are so sexy in the bedroom – on a dimmer, people!}
Keep this in mind next time you add lighting to a bedroom and I promise you’ll love the look.
