Lighting Guide: Lamps for The Bedroom

LAMPS FOR THE BEDROOM

If you are going to choose bedside lamps and lighting for the bedroom, it is important to capture the tranquility and ambiance of the room. The bedroom should have calm lighting, but it is also important to have some reading light within reach. We recommend that you divide the solutions into 3 categories:

BEDSIDE LAMPS

Decide if you want a table lamp standing on each side of the bed or if you would rather mount directional light on both sides of the wall. Some people may find it hard to read in indirect light and will therefore prefer a wall lamp , so you can adjust the angle and get direct light on the text. Others think it is too sharp to have a spot sitting and here, a table lamp that spreads the light more, may be a better solution. Also remember that you can adjust the strength of your lamps yourself, by going down from 2700 Kelvin (standard) to 2200 Kelvin. This can sometimes make the difference in a choice about the function of the lamp, however 2200 Kelvin is not generally recommended for reading.

If you are into classic Danish design, Fritz Hansen offers some beautiful and classic table lamps that are perfect for evening reading. FLOS also makes some very interesting and slightly more daring designs, in both the feminine and masculine direction.
We have wall-mounted reading lamps in all shapes and sizes. Try looking at brands like Tom Dixon , &Tradition and Fritz Hansen.

CEILING LAMPS

Depending on how much light you require and how much natural light there is in your bedroom, choose a type of ceiling light. If there is plenty of natural morning light in the room, it may be unnecessary to have a large crown that lights up the whole room. Here you can use a cylinder lamp with a calm light instead, which gives a darker look in the evening. If you prefer a lot of light when you need it, there are plenty of ceiling lamps for this purpose. You can also easily find ordinary crown ceiling lamps with a dimmed light - in addition, you can choose a bulb with lower Kelvin degrees.

You can see all our light sources here.

Luceplan makes some amazingly beautiful crowns in stylish designs. If, on the other hand, you are into bohemian style, you can try to examine some of the crowns from Design by Us , which have many muted colors.

CABINET LIGHTS & SPOTS

Light in or over your closet can be a huge help during the dark winter months and can make it more manageable to find an outfit in a busy morning. You can either mount individual spots inside your doors or you can mount a rail with directional light into the cabinet. We have tons of spots and rails to choose from. For inspiration, check out the options from Trizo21 or Astro .

EXTRA: DIFFUSED LIGHT IN THE BEDROOM

A new trend that has become very popular is the many small lamps with opal glass shades that offer a diffused and dim light. This works perfectly for the bedroom and you can advantageously use table lamps with such shades, if you don't need directional light to read. For example, take a look at lamps like MENU JWDA , New Works Kizu & Flos IC T1.
