Anne Hathaway uses this task lighting trick to bring a boutique hotel ambiance to her bedroom – experts explain its power

Anne Hathaway.

Like the entirety of Anne Hathaway's California abode, the actress's bedroom offers a lot to excite interior design enthusiasts. Firstly, its blushing pink walls (designed to interrupt the rustic, Swiss-cabin-like feel of the home) – but as every great designer says, nothing can impact a room quite as much as lighting. It's no surprise, then, that Hathaway has nailed this design decision, too.

Alongside interior designer Pamela Shamshiri (of Studio Shamshiri), she created a light, bright sleep space in an otherwise darker home (where cabin-style wooden panels and flooring are in abundance). Unlike the rest of the house, Anne Hathaway's pink bedroom exhibits a lighter color palette that is set to relax the actress before she sleeps. However, as mentioned, perfecting bedroom lighting is arguably just as important as choosing the right hue, and this is where task lighting comes into play.
