Lighting question for shooting a home.. erm.. movie

Hey guys,

Quick question for you lighting buffs, if you would be so kind.

My Gf has finally relented to me shooting a movie in our bedroom, and also to let me take some photos. The bed is in the middle of the room, sideways to two medium sized windows which let in some ok natural light. Problem is, its often dull, cloudy natural light and the main light to our bedroom is also a horrible dull yellow thing. So i want to invest in some lighting. I was hoping to have an all in one solution which i could use as a key light, with the light from the windows on the opposite side filling in the shadows.

It looks like continuous light is the way to go, so could anyone recommend some kind of lighting to help brighten the situation? I was looking at a soft box pair, with one 135W bulb in each like this https://www.amazon.de/amzdeal-50x70cm-Fotostudio-Studioleuchte-Fotolampe/dp/B00M419UD6/ref=sr_1_8?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1479410480&sr=1-8&keywords=softbox&th=1

Or would this be too dark? The next one up is two soft boxes with 4 X 135W in each, but 8 bulbs seems a lot. I was hoping some kind of one-off bright lamp would do which i could bounce off the ceiling or something.... any ideas for under 150 euros? Many thanks.
