Lighting in the bedroom (17 photos): successful examples of the location of lamps and spotlights

The bedroom is not a room for prying eyes. Guests do not come here, cosiness and tranquility reigns here. And just like the bedroom interior should be conducive to relaxation, the lighting in the bedroom should fulfill certain functions: calm and relax in the evening, and in the morning - invigorate and awaken.

Lighting options for the bedroom can be very diverse. If for a small attic bedroom with a low ceiling, one ceiling or wall lamp at the head of the bed is enough, then large, spacious bedrooms require a completely different approach to lighting them.

Daylight

No matter how bright or dark the bedroom interior is, even if your bedroom is completely white, it is desirable that it has large windows. But in order to meet a new day in a good mood, awakening must be gradual. The location of the window behind the bed or in the side wall in relation to the bed will prevent bright daylight from spoiling the pleasant exit from a night's rest.

If the area of ​​the bedroom does not allow you to place the bed away from the window, it is advisable to hang it with dark heavy curtains at night, and if the bedroom is small, you can install blinds on the window.

The same applies to the windows in the attic bedroom. It is better to put the bed so that the windows in the inclined planes of the ceiling are not directly above the bed. Unless you are a lover of quick awakening and the morning light directed to your face does not affect you negatively.

Artificial lighting

If you have decided on the interior, do not forget to think about the lighting in the bedroom. Proper evening lighting of your sleeping room in the form of soft diffused light will make its interior more interesting, and depending on where the light sources are and what kind of lamps will be selected, the bedroom will look different every time.

Here are examples of different types of lighting and how the design of a bedroom depends on the location of artificial light sources.

Ceiling light

Placement of the main and, as a rule, the only light source on the ceiling is the standard design for lighting the bedroom of a small city apartment. In most cases, this is a chandelier in the center of a small bedroom, hanging directly above the bed.

In your own house, no matter how small the bedroom may be, you can think of the design of its lighting so that the bedroom from a small and cramped visually turns into a room with a good area and height.

The installation of a small chandelier is not excluded, but it can be placed not in the center, or above the bed, but, for example, above a chest of drawers or a dressing table.

The ceiling lighting in the bedroom can be supplemented by spotlights located on one of the levels of the two-level ceiling, while the chandelier remains one of the light sources.

Lighting a bedroom without a chandelier is also possible. Not only that, the chandelier fits well into the interior of an exceptionally large bedroom, but not at all small. The volume of a small bedroom is guaranteed to be filled with light of the desired intensity fixtures located on the walls. And, of course, it is better to make a small bedroom white - this will also visually increase it.

Wall lighting

Sconces of various shapes, different colors, the design of which is made in a wide variety of styles - these are lamps used most often for wall lighting.

The interior of the bedroom very rarely does not imply wall lighting. Sometimes fixtures hanging over the bed completely replace the chandelier and other sources of ceiling lighting.

There are also interesting options for wall lighting in the bedroom when spotlights or nightlights are installed in special niches or false shelves.

Wall lighting using nightlights and sconces harmoniously fits into the design of the attic bedroom with a low ceiling. And spotlights installed in the ceiling of the bedroom located in the attic will make up for the lack of light from the sconces, if any. In addition, if you are a lover of space and freedom, then by painting the ceiling of the attic bedroom with white paint, you will also add light to the room and visually increase the height of the bedroom if the ceiling in the attic is made low.

Bedside lighting

Bedside lighting is done using:

• table lamps mounted on bedside tables, dressers, shelves;
• floor lamps, which are placed directly by the bed, on one or both sides;
• night lights or spotlights in a small niche above the bedside tables.

Combined lighting

The bedroom lighting in most cases turns out to be combined, because for a comfortable stay in the bedroom, and also, so as not to get up to turn off the upper light at the moment when the dream prevails, a competent specialist will surely develop a bedroom lighting design taking into account all possible situations.

A chandelier or spotlights on the ceiling, a floor lamp by the dressing table, table lamps by the bed, or night lamps above the bed - this is the complete set of what we often see in the bedrooms.

But there are creative people with innovative thinking, using unexpected “lamps” to illuminate the bedroom. LED tubes and even festive garlands can act as light sources. The design of the white bedroom is unrecognizable by the LED lighting installed in the baguettes of the false ceiling or behind the false partition.

LED lighting looks interesting in the bedroom of a young couple, a little girl or teenage girl, when it seems that this is no longer an ordinary bed in a bedroom with a standard low ceiling, but a boudoir in a high palace hall.

Sometimes such a small detail is enough to make the interior of a white, inconspicuous bedroom unusual, almost fabulous. In bedrooms, the walls of which are covered with wallpaper with colored ornaments, such a decision will look intrusive. If you want to use this idea, leave the bedroom white.

Palace chic can also be achieved by installing a crystal chandelier on the ceiling of the bedroom and table bedside lamps selected in the same classic style. The only condition is that the entire interior of the bedroom should also correspond to the classical style, and the bedroom itself should not be small, but of impressive size, and should not be located in the attic with a low ceiling. Otherwise, it will seem that everything around is pressing on you. What kind of relaxation then will be discussed?
