Bedroom Lighting Tips

!±8± Bedroom Lighting Tips

The first step for bedroom lighting tips is to decide how much you would like to spend on artificial lights. There is a diverse range of models from which to choose.

Then, have a good mix of task and background lighting so you won't leave the house with one brown shoe and one black shoe. Tungsten and halogen are the principal types of light used in the bedroom. Tungsten is a traditional, soft, and gold-tinted light, while halogen light is newer, crisper, and whiter.

Comparatively, tungsten light is perfect for warm background lighting, while halogen works well in low- and main-voltage lights. It is especially suitable for task lighting, often working better than traditional tungsten lamps for reading in bed, particularly in fittings mounted on the wall or attached to the bed head

Try these bedroom lighting tips to create a relaxing atmosphere while providing bright spots for reading and other activities:

o Dim it - Try not to have too many lights in the bedroom. Sometimes all you need to prepare for bed are soft lights from matching bedroom lamps.

o Blind it - When natural light gets too bright, like at the tropics, use well-designed blinds to diffuse and control the light.

o Light color - The color of the bedroom walls will affect how much lighting is needed, so bear in mind that dark tones absorb light, and pale colors reflect it.

o Bed switch - Just as you can switch lights on at the door, you should also be able to switch them off from the bed. This is to prevent the need to get out of bed prior to nodding off.

o Private reading - For reading in bed, use an adjustable glare-free wall-mounted lamp that casts the light where you want it, so you don't disturb your sleeping partner. A table lamp with an adjustable arm and shade will also do. Just make sure the lamps are compatible with your room decor.
