A guest bedroom should be inviting and relaxing but walking into a room with dbl. lge mirrors and seeing yourself twice on every occasion is not my idea of inviting. The chest is nice, how does that tone with the bedset? Could that be put on the wall opposite the curtains, add new crystal knobs and put a tiny chair offside with it and a small picture above with timber frame.How about a quilted beadhead in med. weight fabric to match the colour in the quilt (not navy) and do you need tables each side of bed? Don't know room size. Don't change things except for some plain cushions, some to match a small lamp. And please, no silver paint! :-( a quilted bedhead in

He is a talented young man, sounds like he is a budding young designer, I think a black lamp would look very stylish, a patterned rug under bed could blend beautifully with his bedding, a warm throw blanket, an artwork either purchased or created by himself and an architectural plant and planter could just set off the room, lovely to see him so interested in helping to design his space.

I think both types of bedside lighting have their merits. It also depends on what the bedside lighting is used for. Is it solely for a soft beroom light, or is it also for reading? Does it need to be directional? I really like wall lights/sconces. For beautiful Australian handmade sconces take a look at Marz Designs and Studio Enti. I have just installed sconces and pendants from both of these lighting designers in my own newly renovated home and am really happy with them. Good luck on your building journey.

I would call it a glass bowl hanging light. This company sells them as new replications. I'm sure yours would be worth more because it is original. https://www.fatshackvintage.com.au/products/chateau-glass-hanging-bowl-light
