It’s important to plan your lighting in your bedroom before changing this up. There are so many inspirational blogs and websites on line, and we have pieced together some amazing ideas from interior design experts on how you can transform your bedroom at night using lighting. Bedroom lighting needs to be natural and bright during the morning time and daylight hours, transforming to intimate, aesthetic, and romantic on an evening. We are so used to putting one main ceiling light, and two bedside lights either side of the bed but we are here to take your bedroom lighting to another level, creating a beautiful bedroom design.
Wardrobe lighting is discreet, but makes the room appear larger than it really is. They illuminate both the outside and inside of your wardrobe, making it easy to find clothing, and create a beautiful, low lit atmosphere on an evening.
If your ceiling boasts wooden beams, we are seeing more and more homes featuring LED strip lighting above beams to warm up the ceiling space, creating a warm, dynamic, inviting room.
Lamps are key to providing the best background lighting in your bedroom. As mentioned before, featuring one lamp either side of your bed is key for symmetrical lighting, and a focal point in your bedroom design. We always recommend symmetrical lighting when putting lamps on a table. If bedside table lighting isn’t for you, and you want something more creative, check out Buster + Punch for drop pendant lighting.
Shelving lighting is the perfect way to illuminate your alcoves and create character and definition. This way you are using LED strip lighting to your benefit, giving the illusion during the day you only have a main light and bedside lighting, but illuminating your room beautifully on an evening. If you have a reading corner, you can put lighting behind your shelving in strips that lights up the corner, and creates a cosy vibe.
For children’s bedroom lighting, you can look at lining underneath their bed with LED strip lights, or if your children have bunk beds, install a star light feature on the ceiling above the bunk beds for a beautiful cosy feel. Your children will never be afraid of the dark again, and these lights are sure to match any vibe and aesthetic you are trying to achieve, they are very understated and don't overwhelm the room in the daylight hours.
