How to light your bedroom

The bedroom as one of the main rooms of any home, you need variety when planning your lighting. A good starting point is the combination of general lighting with spot light in areas such as headboards, side tables and reading areas. We have a kind of light for every possible activity to be performed, since the same light is needed to see television for reading or working.

Concerning the color of light warm tones between 2700-3500K is recommended, this is because it is part of the so-called comfort zones or relax in a home and hues cold light are not suitable for this type of space .

For general lighting in the bedroom, it is advisable to choose lamps or spotlights that cover as much space as possible. It is preferable to avoid very direct light lamps or spotlights centered on the bed, as they can reduce the visible area and cause glare.

LED ceiling lamps with light intensity adjustment, or an appropriate arrangement of recessed spotlights, are recommended options for the general lighting of a bedroom. The ceiling lights provide the general light that we mentioned previously, while the spotlights allow you to increase the feeling of space or create a more intimate atmosphere, highlighting the furniture elements that we wish to highlight.

On the other side when lighting headboards or tables, the first thing to consider is to choose between wall lights or wall lamps for reading. This is very important because sometimes the "decorative" lamps not offer the ideal place to read and can sometimes annoy someone else who wants to rest, so does light table lamps.

There is also the alternative that instead of installing wall lights or table lamps, we can place hanging lamps centered on the table, thus freeing up its space, achieving an original and practical effect in the room.

We must prepare the installation so that they can be turned on using the existing light switches in the headboard or using a remote control.

If in our bedroom we also have a dressing area with wardrobes, whether built-in or conventional, it is very important that they are well lit and that their lighting is independent of the rest of the lamps in the room, either to save energy or not to disturb to other people who may be sleeping. In this case, a point light directed towards the cabinet is required, and for this application, spotlights or strips are ideal.

We hope these tips help you achieve the ideal lighting for your bedroom. At the end of the day, it's not just a matter of lighting, but of creating an environment that makes you feel good.
