Bedroom lighting for rental

Bedroom lighting for rental

Hi All,

Already garnered some great advice from digging through previous threads, but wanted to ask about specific ideas for my space. I am renting so any purchases will be freestanding or easy to apply and remove if fixed to the wall.

As you can see, I only have one light which hangs low in the middle. At night I have insufficient lighting for my desk/PC setup you see in the far left corner and also insufficient light where the yellow ? is. Apologies for the lack of picture there (will delete and repost if needed), but they're built-in cupboards (mostly clothes) about 70% the length of the room that are too dim at night if I need to get something. There are plugpoints inside the cupboard on the far left (when facing them but otherwise no convenient power sources. The white doors (centre and left) can be blocked by lamps if appropriate as they are not used for daily access.

My thought is for the blue circle on the left to get a torchiere, perhaps with an attached/separate spotlight for the desk, but should I be trying to backlight the desk instead/additionally for when I'm on my PC? As you can see, windows galore behind the desk. I can move it forward if needed to put lighting behind.

Blue circle on the right would just be for general room ambience, but maybe the same type of torchiere as on the left.

Yellow is my biggest problem as I'm not at all sure what/where to put lighting there that's not in the walking area - feels like I need something ceiling-mounted.

Not from the US, but happy to receive specific links of products and then see what I can get similarly over here.

Open to any and all recommendations, but nothing particularly pricey considering I am renting.
