A Guide to Creating a Light Bedroom

8 Jun, 2022

A bedroom should be a place where people feel inspired, relaxed, comfortable, safe and happy. A bedroom that is too dark or cold will not inspire you or provide the necessary rest that you need to function well.

Here are some guide about creating a light bedroom that will help you get started on your home improvement project:

Basic Guide Bedroom Lighting

Task Lighting

Consider stacking task lights on top of your regular illumination if you plan to undertake things that demand a bit more attention, such as reading, working, or applying cosmetics. The standard desk task lamp does not have to be the only source of focused task illumination. Consider using bedside table lamps, low hanging pendants on both sides of the bed, sconces, wall mounted task lights on either side of a headboard, or other directed lighting above it. 

In this respect, the bedroom work light may take on almost any shape as long as it provides enough light for continuous focus. A task light’s utility is also found inside its bulb, in addition to its design and position.

Ambient Lighting

You’ll want to overlay different types of lighting based on what you want to accomplish in your bedroom on a daily basis, from general to particular. Begin by laying a lighting foundation with ambient lighting, often known as general lighting. Natural light from wide windows or skylights, as well as artificial illumination, give adequate lighting for common duties such as cleaning, folding clothing, and making the bed.

Layering The Lights In Your Bedroom

The key to getting the optimum lighting in your bedroom is to understand how to stack your lights. Finding the perfect blend of ambient, job, and accent lighting is essential. You’ll be able to produce illumination for every mood and activity with the flip of a switch after you’ve achieved this equilibrium.

Dimmers

Dimmers play a crucial part in the larger scheme of things when it comes to layering your bedroom lighting. Dimmers are versatile as well as allowing you to add another depth to the room’s surroundings. A dimmer can handle a variety of lighting demands, from dim lighting to full brightness. The dimmer lends itself to general illumination at maximum brightness, while lower settings allow for mood setting. Because dimmers are so simple to install, every light fixture may be used for several purposes.

Accent Lighting

Accent lighting is used to bring attention to and emphasize specific items in a room, such as artwork. Accent lighting may operate as a reduced form of ambient lighting in the bedroom, emitting a lovely glow and creating a warm ambiance. Recessed lighting, wall sconces, tape lights, and creative reuse of older fixtures are just a few possibilities to include this element in your bedroom’s lighting design.

Tips Bedroom Lighting Design

  • Paintings, photos, and furniture may all benefit from the addition of floor or table lighting. Regardless of how bright you want your WarmGlow bulbs to shine, they offer a comforting light. The light grows warmer as you lower your head. 
  • You can create the perfect environment at any time of day with dimmable luminaires and mood lights. SceneSwitch allows you to choose between three distinct lighting settings without the need for a dimmer or installation.
  • Wall lights or bedside lamps that are the same or similar give symmetry and improve the lighting in your room. 
  • Colored light may be used to change the atmosphere. Philips Hue can turn your ordinary lighting into an exciting experience with over 16 million colors to pick from.
  • It’s a lot easier to get dressed when the interior of your wardrobe is lighted. 

Selecting the Correct Bulb

Brightness

It’s also crucial to think about the sort of bulb you’ll use for each fixture as you stack your bedroom lighting. Depending on the strength of the bulb’s brightness and the color it emanates, it has the ability to influence how you operate during and after a specific activity. But, before you go out looking at just any old bulb, you’ll need to find out what amount of brightness, or lumens, you want. While the recommended lumens for the bedroom range from 2,000 to 3,500, this is a personal choice that varies depending on the sort of atmosphere you want in your room.

Color

The use of light hue can help to assist specific tasks. To begin, consider the type of bulb: incandescent/halogen lights provide a gentle white glow, CFLs disperse a lot of blue, and LEDs may cover the whole color temperature spectrum. 

Task or directed lighting with these hues is best utilized to stimulate concentrated effort since white and blue light colors have been demonstrated to increase attentiveness. Blue and white lights increase alertness while decreasing melatonin production, making them inappropriate for relaxing and settling down in the bedroom after a long day. Warmer-hued lighting, on the other hand, has no influence on melatonin production. As a result, warmer lighting is the best option for a bedroom.
