How to choose bedroom lights to help you create a relaxing space and restful sleep!
Lighting a bedroom is a balance. We find out how to get the right light on dark nights and dawning mornings, whilst maintaining a relaxing ambience before you rest your head.
It can be alarming to we wake up in the middle of the night and
not easy to locate the light switch. It can wakes us up more than it should and therefore takes us longer to drift back into our dream state.
Bedroom lights with switches are key. Having every light wired to the main switch for the room (usually located by the door) just won’t work. By having easy-to-reach, independent lights, you’ll have the convenience of choosing the right lights to use to create the ambience, or to shine a light on your latest read.
Whatever your style, there are plenty of lights to create your bedroom haven.
Bedroom Ceiling Lights and Chandeliers
Choose a ceiling light that resonates with your style. Generally, this will be positioned directly over the bed, so large sizes can create quite the look!
Bedroom Easy Fit Ceiling Lights or Ceiling Shades
Designed to fit on to existing suspensions (E27/ES), most come with a shade ring reducer to enable them to fit on to a bayonet cap fitting (B22/BC).
For a no-fuss approach to changing your ceiling light, if you have a ceiling suspension in place already, you could opt for a ceiling shade, or easy-fit ceiling light.
Bedroom Reading Lights
Regardless of the material of choice, reading (or browsing!) is a relaxing task that many people indulge in before hitting the hay…
Directional lights are great as you can swing them to highlight your text when you need to, or swing it the other way to help light a path around the room!

Bedroom Table Lamps
Bedside lamps are a firm favourite. Choose one that compliments your room and comes with an easy-to-reach inline rocker switch, or invest in a touch lamp for convenience.
Bedroom Floor Lamps
Many will admit that we find clutter distracting. Streamline the need for additional furniture with a floor lamp. You’ll often see floor lamps in hotel bedrooms. Chic and easy; win-win!
Bedroom Spot Lights
Perfect for creating a little reading nook, or a for creating directional light, spot lights create a modern, studio look to a bedroom.
