What to choose lighting for the bedroom

The choice of bedroom lighting should not be underestimated. It can change the character of a room quite fundamentally. Lighting can perfectly harmonise the whole interior and give it the right atmosphere, but it can also create a space where you are uncomfortable. And that's not the kind of bedroom you want.

You need harmony in the bedroom that allows you to "switch off" - no matter if you want to relax while reading a book, watching TV, or if you are one of those people who relax by cleaning the room.

Plus, every morning when you wake up, you have to "switch on" again, get dressed and match your clothes before going to work. And lighting should take all this into account.

Lighting in the bedroom

That's why we clearly recommend combining multiple lighting sources here too. The choice of the main one depends on three factors: your taste, the interior of the bedroom and the height of the ceiling.

The latter determines whether you can install a classic crystal chandelier, which is more space-consuming, or whether you'd be better off with some ceiling basket lights, a low-mounted fixture or a simple ceiling spotlight.

Crystal chandeliers fit every style of interior design

You really don't have to worry about a crystal chandelier not fitting in your bedroom because you don't have a chateau style. After taking a look at our extensive range of bedroom chandeliers, you'll quickly discover that they'll fit in with any interior design and look beautiful. Not only when they are perfectly matched to the room, but also when they are a design contrast and contrasting element.

Just a crystal chandelier is not enough

But our bedrooms serve multiple purposes, so a crystal chandelier or other type of ceiling light will definitely not be enough. It will need to be complemented by at least a lamp. The bedside table obviously includes a table lamp, which can be crystal, brass, trimmings or modern.

People with more spacious bedrooms often prefer floor lamps that they put in the corner of the room, next to the armchair or next to the bed.

If you have a mirror in your bedroom that you dress in front of, we recommend that you at least consider placing a wall light near it as well. That way you can always see yourself clearly, but at the same time you don't have to turn on the main light source and wake up your partner.

Mood lighting is also becoming more and more popular, as it serves to create a pleasant atmosphere and intensify the experience of relaxation. These are mainly LED strips that you can use around the bed or the background of the TV to promote a good mood.

Placing lamps in the bedroom

The placement of the individual luminaires in each part of the bedroom is then entirely up to you. The important thing is that the lighting does not interfere in any way, creates a pleasant atmosphere and fits in with the style of the room.

With smaller luminaires or lighting control, you can create functional spaces in every room. The part with brighter light is for work (many people have a desk in their bedroom where they normally work as part of their home office), while the darker parts of the room are great for relaxing.

The characteristics of the light are also important

Up until now, we've covered the choice of lighting source for the bedroom. However, to ensure your 100% satisfaction and to create a wonderful atmosphere every time you turn on the light, you need the light emitted by it to have the right properties.

Every lighting must have the right colour and intensity of light. And all sources need to have the right luminosity together.

Everything important about choosing the right light properties can be found in our articles on how light colours differ and what light intensity to choose.
