Fun replacement for an overhead light in a bedroom? (self.diy)

I have an overhead light in my bedroom that I absolutely despise. It's way too bright and it's right behind my phone/book/whatever when I'm lying in bed. We have other lights around the room, and so I'd like to replace it with someone else. I don't really want a ceiling fan there, but that's the only thing I can think of. Does anyone have suggestions of something fun to put in the center of a bedroom ceiling?

Big stainless steel hook , when anyone asks tell them it's for your sex swing. The actual sex swing is optional but recommended.

Otherwise look at fancy lights. You've got other lights in the room but maybe look for one that throws light horizontally, not downwards , at least it will still have some utility.

Or a light with an elaborate shade, there's those types with a pull string that give you endless patterns as they shift between two shapes.

Throw a smart light bulb in there so you can muck around with colours and brightness.
