What are the best lighting options for a bedroom?
Bedroom Ceiling Fixtures: This is where you get your baseline ambience. A nice glow that toes the line between creating a gentle mood and a clear line of vision. Build your bedroom lighting around your choice of bedroom ceiling light. Go big with chandeliers or pendant lights, or keep it close with flush-mount or semi-flush mounts.
Bedroom Pendant Lights: Pendant lights do well at creating a focal point for the room and are well suited to create ambience and provide task lighting. A surface area saving solution to bedside
table lamps if hung above.
Bedroom Table Lamps: Somewhere between art and utility. Get localised task lighting to read to, scroll by or bask in whilst enjoying the decorative benefit of the style you choose. Industrial, modern, contemporary and any other vibe that you might be searching for.
Bedroom Floor Lamps: If it’s ambience you’re after then you’ve met your match with a floor lamp. As far as bedroom light goes, what better way to add a warm glow to a corner whilst perfecting a reading nook?
How do I choose the right bedroom lights?
As well as personal preference, it's a good idea to think about what else you're using your bedroom for (apart from sleeping, of course!) when considering the right bedroom lighting for your needs. That’s important information to have before you start collecting your bedroom light fixtures. Whether curling up with a good book is your priority, or relaxing is your only concern once you’ve made it to the bedroom, or you’re all about that glam and the perfect lighting for doing your makeup or picking your outfit is your first concern. Suss what’s most important to you and light accordingly. Whether you need cosy bedroom lighting or something a bit brighter, and whether you want extravagant fixtures or more understated ones, we'll have whatever bedroom lights you think are right for you.
Which bedroom light fittings are best for mood lighting?
Mood lighting comes in all shapes and sizes. Depending on your aesthetic goals you’ll be more drawn to some options than others. Bedside lights (whether you opt for
wall lights or lamps) provide both task lighting and ambient lighting and are one of the most important lighting sources to get right in the space. Building the right mood takes more than just a pair of bedside lamps, though. You can amp up the mood by using accent lighting to make your art or architectural details shine. Another way to maximise the vibe is by installing a ceiling light fitting or using a light shade that distorts the light into a pattern on the ceiling and around the room.
Which light bulbs are best used as bedroom lights?
Our
