Lighting options in the bedroom must be considered in advance before finishing the bedroom. This is necessary in order to lay cables, mount lamps, bring communications for ceiling lighting.

In this case, it will not be necessary to redo the lighting system after a major overhaul. The article proposes to familiarize yourself with the options for lighting the bedroom with your own hands.

In the bedroom, a person is, for the most part, when there is no natural light anymore, it gets dark. Therefore, the artificial lighting device for the bedroom plays a major role.

This room should be not only comfortable, but also cozy, it is here that you have to completely relax. Instructions for the design of lighting design does not exist.

To meet such requirements, the device of one or more light sources helps.

It can be:

• Ceiling lighting of the bedroom with lamps and chandeliers, for general lighting.
• Organization of the local world. In this case, certain areas of the bedroom are highlighted (see), those that especially require additional light, for example, at the head of the bed.

• Installation above the ceiling of several ceiling lamps that have a directional light flux.
• , floor lamps or table lamps that emit a dim muffled light. They make the lighting for the bedroom more intimate and intimate, without irritating the eyes.

Tip: Light from one chandelier is sometimes enough, but it is better to install several lamps in the most important places.

• The installation of a central chandelier in the bedroom can be omitted, but the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe head of the bed must be well lit. This function is usually performed by paired lamps.
• you need lamps with separate switches so as not to interfere with another person using the light when he is already sleeping.

• Additionally, you can arrange soft illumination of the paintings, which will not create sharp contrasts in the bedroom between shadow and light.
• Side lighting will be needed in this room for the dressing table, and you need to place the lamps to the left and right of it. Only the right lighting is needed in order to make a skillful make-up. Installing sconces on the sides and at the top of the dressing mirror will evenly illuminate the face, without glare and shadows.
• A decorative niche at the head of the bed, which is illuminated by an LED with soft light, helps to create additional comfort and warmth, as seen in the photo.

Basic Lighting Method

A chandelier is often used to make the bedroom ceiling lighting. But in this method, the important aspect is not the form - it is selected for the interior of the room, but the color of the ceiling. It is thanks to him that the necessary room atmosphere is created.

So:

• When choosing a red color, on the contrary, there will be a surge of bright emotions. This can disturb your sleep if you have a short temper. Also, do not forget that everything should be well combined with each other, and the color of the ceiling should match the rest of the bedroom paints.
• When choosing a luminaire, it is best to consider the type of ball or hemisphere. These types of chandeliers help provide soft, diffused lighting throughout the area, which is just great for a bedroom. You can also choose pendants with urban images or a pleasant ornament.
• If you have a false ceiling in the bedroom, then the use of spotlights is also possible. They are placed throughout the room or in a specific area and make the light uniform and comfortable for the eyes.
• In addition, if small movable brackets are used, it is also possible to adjust the light direction for the necessary convenience. It is possible to organize the so-called starry sky - if a lot of such lamps are connected throughout the ceiling.

How to apply local light

What bedroom doesn't have a bedside lamp?

After all, such light is important no less than the main one. They can be a kind of table lamp or wall sconce, floor lamp or night lamp. It is important to take into account several factors.

So:

• The first factor is that the light should only illuminate the edge of the bed, otherwise it will interfere with the sleep of your significant other if you decide to read at night.
• The second factor is that the luminaire must have an appropriate design (both in style and color). For example, for the Provence style, a type of lamp made of a fabric lampshade in ornaments is well suited.
• The style can be floral (for example, in the collections "Swan", "Verona"). Or strictly classical ("Anna", "Grace" and so on).
• Well, only those people who do not like sleeping in absolute darkness need nightlights. There are a lot of them on the market now.

Work Lighting Method

Any bedroom has a place where a woman brings beauty every morning. This place can be any type of specifically equipped dressing table or a standard dressing table.

So:

• An integral attribute is the presence of a storage closet. All these areas require separate lighting. Near the table there should be two sconces on the sides or one lamp above the mirror.

Attention: The main condition is that the light does not directly hit the face and not the eyes. An ideal option for a closet is an option with spot lighting. Retail trade allows a fairly wide selection of different lamps, made in different styles: floristry, modern, classic, and so on.

• Consider switches too. It is better to have two of them, not one. This will help you not get out of bed to turn off the light. This is a very convenient option.

How stretch ceilings are illuminated

Any interior can be transformed by thoughtful bedroom lighting with.

After assembling the surface, you can:

• Mount the chandelier.
• Install spotlights.
• Arrange hidden lighting that will go from inside the structure.

For the ceiling lighting system, you can take:

• Incandescent lamps but they have some disadvantages:

1. low efficiency;
2. strong heating.

• Using halogen bulbs allows you to create a brighter light, but they can get very hot, which will lead to deformation of the canvas.
• Energy-saving lamps it is beneficial to use for efficiency, but the electronic element of the power converter present in their design does not perceive the increased level of humidity, which does not allow their use for stretch ceilings where there is high humidity.

How lighting affects the perception of space

There are several implementation tricks that can visually make a room of other sizes:

• The bedroom will seem higher if you create a backlight around the perimeter of the ceiling plane that looks like a narrow strip or install hidden lamps on the walls, direct their light to the ceiling.
• The height of the room will look lower, provided that the light flux coming from the light sources that are located on the dark ceiling hits the walls.

When creating a lighting design for stretch ceilings, other factors influencing the visual perception of the size of the room are also taken into account:

• It will appear larger if materials with a high reflection coefficient are used when decorating the walls, and they are brightly lit in the room.

Tip: You can adjust the visual effect by changing the amount of light. In this case, the room may seem both spacious and small.

• If necessary, you can increase the length, for example, of a corridor by a longitudinal arrangement of lighting fixtures.
• A narrow room will look wider when it ends with a brightly lit wall.

How to light up a small bedroom

Lighting in a small bedroom requires special attention:

• The chandelier in such a room is bright, the light should be soft and diffused.
• This issue is best solved by installing several fixtures.
• An additional light source can be a mirrored ceiling.
• Near the bed on the bedside table (see) you need to put a lamp or hang a sconce.
• To increase the brightness of daylight near the windows, you can not install racks, cabinets, or arrange shelves.

More details about the lighting of any room can be seen in the video. This article offers only some tips and tricks.

In any case, the choice of lighting design for a room depends on its owner, on what price of lighting fixtures he is more comfortable with.

A place to rest should be, first of all, comfortable. Good sleep and full recovery of strength are possible only in a room with suitable lighting. At the same time, not only the brightness and location of light sources are important, but also their aesthetic qualities. Rest with taste is much more pleasant and useful.

Peculiarities

It is desirable that the lighting in the bedroom is both beautiful and modern. Designers and engineers have already taken care of this, but the buyer will have to choose the appropriate option one way or another.

For the right choice, you should pay attention to the following key points:

• Room location. You need to determine where the windows go. If to the east, then lighting may not be needed in the morning (taking into account, of course, the season). If to the west - you need to choose an option that would not cause discomfort in the early morning. Based on this, you should build a lighting model in the evenings.
• Windows size. With small windows, you need to pay special attention to the issue of organizing artificial lighting. Light should be sufficient and better if it is evenly distributed throughout the room. This is especially important for those who, for example, love to read before bed. However, it is better to work at a computer in a well-lit room. To dim, you can always turn off the main light source and turn on, for example, a table lamp. With large or even panoramic windows, artificial lighting in the evenings is also necessary. In addition, pay attention to the presence of lanterns in the courtyard of the house - they can interfere with sleep and you will have to use curtains, which means an additional soft light source.
• Room size. There should be not a lot of light, but not a little, but just enough so that there are no dark corners. At the same time, consider the principle of absent-mindedness. This is especially true for the bedroom. With concentrated light, it is unlikely that you will be able to tune in to a good rest. In small rooms, this is often a problem. To create the effect of absent-mindedness will allow the correct orientation of the light sources - it is better to direct the lamps up, towards the walls or ceiling.

Luminaire options

There are a large number of ways to competently organize the light space in the bedroom. Consider both the classic and the most interesting and modern options:

• Incandescent lamps. Everyone has long been accustomed to this device, but this does not mean that this type of lighting is outdated and inefficient. Incandescent light bulbs are measured in watts. You can always choose the right option. However, incandescent lamps heat up quickly and can burn out at the most unexpected moment, but they are available and inexpensive. They are easy to change. But they are not environmentally friendly. In addition, they may even be banned. 100 watts was no longer sold legally in Russia back in 2011, and now the possibility of a ban on 75 watt lamps is being considered. Among other disadvantages is a rather limited range of applications: they cannot be placed on the floor and it is not always convenient to install them on the walls. As a rule, they look good in chandeliers. It is not excluded the option of their use in table lamps.

• Luminescent. In terms of light output, they are significantly superior to the previous version, but they are more expensive. However, in the bedroom with such a device, you need to be extremely careful. The fact is that fluorescent lamps have gained popularity in rooms with a large area - they often illuminate the halls of public buildings: schools, hospitals, institutes. However, now they are beginning to be actively used in everyday life. Can be used as wall or floor light sources. But, for example, it is not always advisable to put such a lamp on a bedside table near the bed.

• LEDs are the most modern and environmentally friendly light sources.. Used for both outdoor and home lighting. They consume very little energy and can last more than five years. They are simple to install. Among the shortcomings are the high price and the unpleasant flickering effect. We add that information about the dangers of cold light sources regularly appears. And indeed, it is not recommended to look at such lamps (as, indeed, at any others) for a long time and point-blank. We add that LEDs now occupy one of the most dynamically developing market segments. Work on them, including many Russian companies. This type of lamp is in demand in the defense industry. It is possible that new technological discoveries will be made just in the LED segment. Such lamps are also used for spot lighting, but this requires very complex installation work. There are also touch-sensitive models on sale - just touch them to turn them on.

• Energy saving. One of the softest light sources. Good for bedroom space. They do not heat up as much as incandescent lamps, although they look similar in appearance. Often, energy-saving lamps are used with a dimmer - an electronic dimmer that allows you to reduce the brightness or achieve unusual effects: for example, slow on or off. Lamps with dimmers are actively used to give a sense of intimacy, in particular, in theaters. In the bedroom, this feeling is especially relevant as a guarantee of a cozy, and even romantic atmosphere. They look spectacular with a lampshade, for example, on a bedside table.

We add that in the bedroom you can use several lighting options at the same time. For example, in order to save money, hang a chandelier with incandescent lamps, and install an energy-saving or neon lamp on the night table under the lampshade. Another option is to organize beautiful decorative lighting, and turn on a point light source for reading or work.

Color solutions

With all the variety of styles, there are several basic approaches to decorating a bedroom, taking into account the basic principles of lighting.

But first, a few words about color temperature. In fact, it is she who determines the color that a particular lamp produces. Moreover, the so-called "cold" colors - blue, white or blue - are obtained at the highest possible temperature. The most suitable color temperatures for a bedroom would be 2500 Kelvin. It is a very soft orange shade that creates a quiet, subdued atmosphere. This color temperature is ideal for small lamps, sconces, table lamps.

As the color temperature rises, the light begins to turn yellow. Values ​​around 5000 Kelvin are already optimal in terms of brightness for large office spaces. Even higher is a bluish tint, suitable for specialized objects, for example, some museums.

But not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance. The fact is that color temperatures can be combined, achieving very interesting color programs and shades. So, sharper colors can be softened or vice versa, they can be diluted with muted shades. It will look good, for example, purple light, complemented by bluish hues. This will not turn it red, but on the contrary, it will add notes of coldness and bring the room to a color balance. Another example is that the blue color will sparkle with completely different colors when it is applied using light sources with white shades.

One way or another, the choice of a successful combination largely depends on the preferences and tastes of the owners of the premises. However, if you do not take into account radical design developments, then there are only two main lighting modes for the bedroom. Either it's a warm tone or a cold one. In the first case, the feeling of warmth is emphasized by yellow and orange, reddish or purple hues. They must match the furniture. A wooden bed, various stylizations for historical styles, classic decor and other elements will look beautiful. In a room with small windows, this concept will look especially advantageous.

Another option is a bedroom in blue and white, chilly shades. This type of interior includes technological styles, it is important to use the ideas of late modernism. high-tech, in some cases a loft, as an option - marine style. In the latter case, you can soften the tones with green shades. Scandinavian style will fit into the same concept.

Styles

Let us dwell in more detail on the selection of a suitable lighting mode for the main styles of interior design.

• Provence. Cold shades, white lighting will do. If the interior focuses on green colors, intimacy and the creation of separate comfort zones (in the case of a large bedroom), it is possible to use softer and warmer light sources. You can stylize the room in the color of the sea wave, using cold shades. In such bedrooms, graceful, not too heavy, but on the contrary, chandeliers that create a feeling of fragility will look advantageous. However, airiness should not be abused. If the interior turns out to be too light, the light can just balance it out due to light reddish and orange shades, consonant with the floor covering.

• Classical. It can be described as warm and light. The main light source should be in harmony with the decor, walls and ceiling. It is reasonable to put decorative lamps near the bed. Wall sconces look beautiful.

The main thing is that the light is even and soft, with cool shades.

• Mediterranean. As a rule, such rooms have good natural light. The task of the artificial, oddly enough, is to maintain naturalness. Lighting can be spot, options with dimmers look interesting. The light should not be too warm, but at the same time sufficient to create a feeling of comfort.

• Modern. There are several approaches. You can either decorate the bedroom in a modern environment with mostly cold lighting, or set the light balance (dark furniture is required and there is a risk that something completely eclectic will turn out) or even try to abandon the usual patterns. In the latter case, experiments with unusual color schemes, the use of green or purple shades in lighting are relevant.

• Scandinavian. Cold light will do. Various models of lamps, including hanging ones, will successfully fit into the interior. You can hang light sources like garlands or fantasize about wall lighting. Chandeliers of various shapes are suitable as the main source, but it is better not to burden them with excessive decor. However, this is a very difficult option for interior design for a bedroom, so you need to combine cool shades of light with suitable furniture and at the same time not lose the feeling of comfort that is so necessary for a bedroom.

• Oriental. The light of not very high temperatures, including reddish shades, will look good. You can use large decorative chandeliers. Bedrooms in the format of this style create a feeling of luxurious comfort, and light sources emphasize the correct tone of such a worldview. The light should harmoniously illuminate and focus on the most interesting interior items, especially on the bed and other places to relax - armchairs or a sofa.

This approach will also contribute to a good awakening.

• Loft. Experiments are possible here. But lamps of various constructivist forms will definitely fit well into the interior. At the same time, avant-garde should not be deliberately spectacular, and it is warm light in the presence of additional cool notes that can gather space into a chamber frame. However, if the bedroom is large, do not forget that there should be enough light in it.

• High tech. The interior in this style is desirable to emphasize cold shades. Lamps can be of non-standard type and shape. Neon ones will work too. It is acceptable to use blue light and even radical options with the establishment of light sources in the floor and walls. Among the interesting design developments is the allocation of a separate light circuit to the bed. Sometimes there are high-tech interiors with large chandeliers, but this is not always a good idea, because in some ways the style is still minimalistic. Do not forget also about spotlights or touch lights. Here they are very appropriate, as they allow not only to illuminate the room, but also to create new sensations and enrich perception in the field of light control, to achieve a very rare feeling of "waking dream".

But remember - excessive eclecticism, especially when flirting with elements of classical styles, can destroy the whole effect.

What should be the location?

The location of the light sources in the room may be different. However, you need to combine them wisely and adhere not only to the criteria of style, but also to convenience. The main light source, for example, assembled in a chandelier, is best placed in the central part of the ceiling space of the room. The chandelier will thus appear, as it were, in front of or behind the bed, and even when turned on in the morning, it will not cause an annoying effect.

The bedroom is usually a very personal and intimate room, created for two and closed from prying eyes. However, it is important to choose lighting fixtures and think over the concept of lighting here no less carefully than in other rooms. Particular attention should be paid to bedside lamps and electrics, which should be placed next to the bed.

Where do you need lamps in the bedroom?

Often this room becomes a dressing room, and a boudoir, and a place to sleep, and a study, as well as a corner for rest and relaxation. In this case, it is most often necessary to take into account the interests of two inhabitants at once. Therefore, in addition to the central source of lighting in the bedroom, local lighting is more appropriate than anywhere else: namely, bedside lamps and lighting devices responsible for different functional areas.

In the photo: a bedroom with different lighting scenarios. The whole project.

In the interior of the bedroom can be distinguished:

• The area near the closet, dressing room. Suitable built-in lighting;
• Dressing ladies table. On the table or on the wall it is worth placing a sufficiently bright lamp with natural light;
• If there is a desktop, a table lamp with a deep shade will help you out. This will make it possible to work even in the evening and not interfere with those who are already resting;
• Additional lighting fixtures above the bed. Essential when you just chat, read together before bed or relax. You can install adjustable lights to change the intensity of lighting according to the situation;
• Bedside lamps, placed, for example, on bedside tables, or on the sides of the bed, or on the wall, but directed in different directions. Required in the amount of two pieces, for each - his own.

The designer will help determine the exact number of lamps, based on the size of the bedroom, the presence of functional areas, style, as well as the personal preferences and habits of the spouses.

Which bedside lamps to choose?

Lamps for the bedroom are presented today in the widest range, it is also possible to manufacture fixtures to order. By way of placement they can be divided into:

• Floor lamps, floor lamps with long legs;
• Table lamps - installed at the head of the bed, on bedside tables;
• Wall lights. Here are classic sconces, and modular lamps, and strings, and spots, and built-in solutions. The main feature is wall mounting above or next to the bed;
• Ceiling lights. In addition to the classic chandelier, there are lamps on long cords. They can go down to the very head of the bed, providing local lighting.

In addition to the installation or mounting option, you can choose a lighting device according to the type of lamps used:

• Incandescent lamps;
• energy saving;
• Halogen;
• LED.

Each of them heats up differently, consumes a certain amount of energy, and also has its own spectrum. To illuminate the bedroom, it is better to choose lamps with warm light, abandoning daylight and cold shades. This will create additional comfort and provide some intimacy to the room. An exception may be the dressing table area and work area.

By type of plafond the choice will depend, first of all, on the overall style decision and combination with other accessories. However, there is no strict fashion for ceiling lamps and lamps. Today it is appropriate to use any options:

• Modern and minimalistic spots;
• Classic or modern shades;
• Geometric cylinders, balls, cones, cubes;
• Open lamps with decorative lamps.

Plafonds correspond to the style, general idea and details.

Bedside electrics:

Putting a lamp next to the bed is not enough, you need to think over the on / off system so that it is as convenient as possible. Today there are many solutions that allow you to control the light in the room:

• Regular switch, which is located on the lighting device itself (button, cord, switch on the wire). The most common, but far from the most convenient solution;
• The switch is on the wall next to the bed. It is convenient to turn on and off the light when you go to bed. In this case, it is desirable to install redundant switches. One is installed at the entrance to the room, the second - near the bed;
• Switch - dimmer. Dedicated lighting dimmer. Most often used with LED lamps. There are also systems that respond to human touch. Single short touch - turns the light on or off. Long contact - adjusts brightness;
• Remote control of light. When installing a centralized lighting system with a control unit, you can turn the light on and off, change its intensity, colors, and set modes using the control panel or smartphone. Also, many modern lamps are equipped with local consoles;
• Lamps with sensors. In addition to a conventional switch, lighting fixtures are equipped with sensors - movement, volume, sound, etc. This allows the light to turn on when you are nearby and dim when you leave. Light the lamp by clapping your hands and also extinguish it.

In addition to the switch next to the bed, we recommend that you provide the opportunity to place one or two sockets on each side. You will need them to charge your phone, player, laptop or tablet, which you will use from time to time while lying in bed.

All electrics by the bed are provided at the development stage of this project.

The main purpose of bedrooms, as you know, rest. But a pleasant twilight will not be such if it persists at any time of the day. Therefore, the light should be sufficient if you need it for work, applying makeup, cleaning the closet, etc.

A typical mistake that is made in this room is disproportion. One part is illuminated strongly, and the second almost always remains dark. But the light in the bedroom should be distributed strictly evenly, and if light amplification is necessary in some area, then we are talking about local lighting.

So, for example, table lamps are used for reading. They are placed on a bedside table or any other bedside furniture, and the light of the lamp is enough for reading or watching a movie. Such bedside lamps can have an unusual design. But classic-style lamps still remain the most preferred.

Typically, these lamps are distinguished by a chic lampshade on a metal or ceramic base. If the interior of the bedroom is classic, then you can take a crystal lamp in the form of a chandelier. The option is also customary when there are bedside tables on both sides of the bed, and on each there is a lamp. The lamps must be the same, or the first with the second must be combined according to some sign.

Ceiling modern bedroom lighting

The basic lighting in the interior is the lighting coming from the ceiling. Other options, when a bedroom without ceiling lighting, are extremely rare. The most popular type of lighting is chandeliers plus spotlights. The same is true in the living room.

Chandeliers are no better than spotlights, and the opposite is also true. Each lighting device performs its function, spot lighting cannot be excluded, just as basic lighting cannot be excluded.

Both types of lighting can be placed on the ceiling - the central chandelier and small spotlights line up in one ensemble. Then you make two switches and turn on the appliances separately: a chandelier when you need a bright light, lamps when you need a soft and subdued light.

Lighting in a small bedroom: tricks

Various lighting techniques can visually enlarge a small bedroom. There is an urgent need for a visual expansion of space, but often the owners are guided by a different principle - since the bedroom is small, then there is nothing to spend on lighting. Sometimes they are content with one chandelier and some kind of sconce.

Rules for lighting a small bedroom:

• Bright chandelier with soft and diffused light;
• A mirrored ceiling can act as an additional light source;
• Near the bed you can put a lamp or hang a sconce;
• Spotlights can also be placed around the perimeter of the mirror.

To increase the brightness of daylight, shelving, shelves, cabinets are not installed near the windows themselves. Furniture is selected with glossy surfaces, the window is hung with literally transparent curtains. In general, light finishes are more suitable for a small bedroom.

Features and lighting device in the children's bedroom

Lighting devices in the children's room are installed so that there are no dark corners and insufficiently lit places in the room. There should be a lighting device next to the child’s bed - this is a lamp, sconce or night light.

The device must be securely installed so that the baby cannot move it and break it. Nightlights should look like it fits into the concept of the nursery - in the form of fairy-tale characters, with interesting decor and images. The switch from the night light should always be located next to the baby's bed, so that he himself could turn off the light when falling asleep.

Dressing table in the bedroom with lighting

A dressing table with a mirror, to which good lighting is attached, is a convenient place for home cosmetic procedures. It is not only convenient, but also beautiful, and you do not need to spend money on additional wall lighting.

Dressing tables according to the installation method are divided into:

• Wall-mounted;
• Wall mounted;
• Console or suspended.

A transforming dressing table has become a popular model. This is furniture that performs several functions at once. This can be a chest of drawers, in its composition a movable tabletop without support, or with a side support. By shifting such a countertop, you can have a corner model, and part of it will be a chest of drawers, and the other part will be a dressing table. And the mirror in this case is only a desktop one.

Decorative bedroom lighting

Lighting can be not only basic, local, but also decorative, the purpose of which is one - decoration. Often, drywall niches and other similar structures found in the bedroom interior are decorated in this way.

Illumination of accessories is also quite a fashionable moment today. But do not discount the backlight, where electricity is not used. Candle compositions of incredible beauty can be used on tables, cabinets, chests of drawers and bedroom window sills. Candles can be, moreover, aromatic, that is, you will be able to fully create the most relaxing atmosphere in the bedroom.

Examples of lighting in the bedroom (photo)

Lighting in the bedroom, first of all, should not interfere with a good rest. Therefore, it is important to choose fixtures in such a way that their light does not have an active effect. They must be functional and comply with the general concept of interior design, taking into account the characteristics of the room.

The nuances of arranging a bedroom

To determine what lamps are needed for the bedroom, an overview of the arrangement of the recreation area will help. The bedroom should have a wide bed with bedside tables, a sofa or sofa, armchairs, a wardrobe, a dressing table can be installed. All this should be covered by local sources. Central lighting is also necessary.

central lighting

The simplest central lighting for a bedroom is provided by a ceiling chandelier. In this case, the following rules must be taken into account.

1. Light sources should be covered with diffusing shades. The light should not be directed directly into the eyes.
2. The switch must be equipped with an automatic deceleration so that the bright light does not blind as a result of a sudden switch on.
3. The plafond for the lamp should not consist of many glass, light-reflecting parts. Reflections can interfere with a relaxing holiday.
4. Ceiling lamps for the bedroom can be located offset from the center of the room towards the area allocated by the furniture, for example, above the boudoir or behind the screen.
5. Bedroom lighting without a chandelier can be arranged using spotlights. Their control can be distributed between different switches: in this way it will be possible to choose the intensity of lighting. Another option involves mounting an LED strip around the perimeter of the ceiling plinth.

Additional lighting

Designers offer several bedroom lighting options based on the use of lamps with the effect of scattering light rays.

• Fixtures with reflectors pointing up and to the sides: light bounces off surfaces and spreads evenly throughout the room. At the same time, such lamps for the bedroom are installed hidden - behind special screens, creating the effect of hidden light. Light sources built into the lower part of the furniture have the same effect.
• local lighting. If the design of the bedroom involves zoning with the help of furniture or interior decoration techniques, they install lighting fixtures that operate only in one zone. Please note that this technique is not applicable for a small bedroom.
• Lighting of the reading area: near the chair, table or sconces are a special case of local lighting. Often, floor lamps with large fabric lampshades are also used for this purpose.
• Individual bedside lamps for the bedroom are a necessary attribute. With their help, you can finish unfinished business before going to bed or read the latest press. Such bedside lamps are usually table lamps. But they can be built into the head of the bed. With their help, night illumination can be organized.

How to better illuminate some of the desired areas

Some furniture sets have built-in lighting installed by the manufacturer. If this is not enough, LED lighting can be arranged around the perimeter of the mirror or lamps with flexible poles and the possibility of mounting on a vertical surface can be installed.

The wardrobe in the bedroom is a regular closet with hinged doors or wardrobe. In the latter case, the upper lighting is installed on the furniture cornice - several spotlights above the mirrored door. For the closet area with hinged doors, the lighting consists of ceiling lights.

A decorative lamp for the bedroom can be of any design: with an openwork shade, in the form of Chinese lanterns, in the form of spotlights or LED strips. A special effect can be created by tabletop appliances that create shadows of an unusual shape. Designers recommend using such lighting in a small bedroom.

Important: lamps should contribute to the interior design of the bedroom during daylight hours. Table lamps and floor lamps can be decorated on your own: with the help of braid, trim the lampshade around the perimeter or embroider an original ornament.

Another option for decorating lighting devices is the use of stained glass shades made of colored glass. So can be decorated and table lamps, and ceiling. They will look spectacular at night and during the day.

When choosing fixtures, it is necessary to pay attention to the spectrum of the emitted light: it must be warm. Preference should be given to shades of pink, yellow, orange. It is not recommended to purchase appliances with red, cherry, and dark material shades (they will have a depressing effect). Designers advise frosted glass: it successfully diffuses light and softens it.

The most important thing about bedside lamps

When purchasing a bedside lamp in the bedroom, you need to find out if the device meets the following requirements.

1. It must be safe: no pungent odor should be emitted during operation. The materials from which the device is made must not support combustion.
2. The design of light sources should be combined with interior decoration in style, texture and color.
3. The height of the lighting device should exclude direct light entering the eyes.
4. The device must be stable, have a massive stand.
5. The switch must be located in a convenient location for the user.
