Bedroom Lighting

A bedroom needs soft light to wind down and good light to get ready. Pair a gentle ceiling light with bedside lamps or wall lights either side of the bed, and add a floor lamp for a reading corner.

How to Light a Bedroom

Keep the ceiling light soft. A fabric shade, a frosted glass flush or a semi-flush gives even light without glare when you are lying down.

Bedside lighting does the most work. Matching table lamps or wall lights either side of the bed give each person their own light. Touch lamps and wall lights with switches save reaching for the wall.

For getting ready, add brighter light near a mirror or wardrobe, and put the ceiling light on a dimmer.

Bedroom Lighting Questions

How tall should a bedside lamp be?
When you are sitting up in bed, the bottom of the shade should sit roughly at eye level, so you can read without glare. With a standard bedside table, that usually means a lamp of about 50 to 65cm.
Are wall lights a good alternative to bedside lamps?
Yes, especially where bedside tables are small. Wall lights free up the table top, and swing-arm designs can be angled for reading.
What is the best bulb colour for a bedroom?
Warm white (2700K) is the most relaxing for a bedroom. Save cooler white for task lighting near a mirror.
