When it comes to your bedroom, you want the lighting in there to be bright enough that you can see, but also soft enough that you can enjoy curling up with a book or enjoy a nice movie with your spouse. When it comes down to it, the lighting you choose for your bedroom will make a big difference, so it is important to explore all of your options. Below, we will go over some tips to help you get the most out of your lighting in your bedroom.
Enhance Natural Lighting
It is important to enhance the natural lighting in your bedroom. If you have a large window, consider placing sheer window coverings over top of it. You will be able to maximize how much light enters your room while still having the privacy you need.
Reading Lights
Don’t forget a reading or bedside light. If you do not have one, you will quickly see why you need one. When it comes to the lighting you choose, you could opt-in for a table lamp, but if you want to go for a luxurious look and feel, go for a wall-mounted fixture with a switch to adjust the brightness in your room.
Avoid Overhead Lights When Possible
You should avoid having overhead-mounted lights when possible. While most bedrooms do have ceiling lights, they do not provide the right type of lighting for your room and can cause more frustration than good. If you do have a ceiling light, make sure that it has a dimmer to help you control the lighting.
If you are looking for a whole room lighting option, consider a beautiful floor lamp. This type of lamp can provide light right where you need it without overpowering the rest of the room.
Consider a Pendant Light
If you have a larger bedroom, you may want to consider pendant lighting in your room. Instead of wall scones, these pendant hang down from the ceiling and provide you with a soft glow as you curl up in bed at night or unwind with a book.
Upgrading the lighting in your bedroom can set this room apart from the rest of the house while creating a nice and relaxing environment for you to enjoy.
