Your bedroom lighting should be functional, attractive, and even romantic. And there are several ways to achieve this without breaking the bank. Here's some great tips for choosing bedroom lamps that work.
Your bedroom is the most personal space in your home. It's your private getaway from the world so you need to choose furnishing that make you feel calm and relaxed.
How you use your space is also important. Decide what's important to you and what arrangement makes you feel comfortable. The first piece of furniture you need to place is your bed, then everything else including your lamps flow around that.
Of course you'll need wall light but your bedroom lamps can play an important role in setting the mood for your bedroom. Whether you're looking for task lighting to read your favorite book, lighting that relaxes you, or lamps that create an intimate atmosphere, your lamps can do that.
1. Three way bulbs are a great choice for your bedroom because they can multi task providing lighting bright enough to read and dim enough for those intimate moments.
2. If you are using your lamp for reading choose a shade that directs the light to you so that your partner can sleep.
3. Want romance - choose a pink bulb.
4. Your color choices will play an important role in the way the room feels at different times throughout the day.
5. Don't use bulbs that are high intensity they'll cause a glare and an uncomfortable feeling.
6. To illuminate all sides of the room you'll need to place lamps at different points throughout the room and you should also incorporate overhead lighting
7. If you are over 50 your eyes need more light so make sure your lamps are placed in a position that provides that light for reading. Use a slightly higher bulb wattage too.
8. In a nursery or your child's room place your lamp on a dimmer.
9. Bedrooms tend to have a more traditional décor than any other room in the house and it's the perfect opportunity for a Tiffany lamp to look its very best.
10. Bronze, brass, and antique brass always look excellent in a bedroom.
11. Choose shades that accent. Similar fabrics and or colors to your window covers or duvet will tie the room together.
12. Choose the right lamp height. Lamps come in all kinds of heights. Accent lamps are around 20" and do just what their name says but they don't do tasks well. Table lamps are 25" or taller and are the better all round choice. Your lamps should not be so tall that they become the focus in the room.
Your bedroom is about you. This is probably the only room in the house you don't share with your entire family. This is your space and if you're married your spouses space too. Here you don't have to think about how others will feel in the room. You don't have to worry about how the décor will be received. All that matters here is "you." Isn't it grand?
So take your time. Design a bedroom that looks and feels right. And don't rush to buy just any old bedroom lamps. Let your fingers do the walking and search online for that perfect pair of lamps! You'll be glad you did!
