BEDROOM LIGHTING

With your bedroom lighting, it is important to create an overall atmosphere of quiet relaxation, while also providing bright lighting in certain areas for reading and other activities. A combination of general and task lighting that takes into account the age and lifestyle of the occupants is also important. Adding dimming controls will give you the flexibility to vary the bedroom lighting to suit different moods and tasks. At Accent Lighting, we have a wonderful assortment of bedroom lamps and other lights that will make the space feel complete.

Your bedroom’s general or ambient lighting can be supplied by a chandelier or a ceiling fan with a light kit. Again, it’s beneficial to install a dimmer switch or sensor to control the level of the main light fixture. If you have a vanity or dressing table, adding wall sconces on either side will make it easier to see what you’re doing while getting ready in the morning. For your closets, consider adding bright recessed fixtures so that you can easily see what you’re choosing for that day’s outfit. For the bedside, swing-arm or table lamps will let you see perfectly while finishing that last chapter before turning in for the night. Having multiple layers of light in your bedroom will make the space both functional and comfortable. If you’re upgrading your bedroom lighting, come to our showroom in Wichita to see a great variety of fixtures and bulbs, as well as expert assistance in choosing the best options for your home. We look forward to helping you! You can also check out our online catalog.

Types of Bedroom Lighting

Overhead Lighting:

Ceiling fixtures such as chandeliers, pendant lights, or flush mount fixtures provide ambient lighting that illuminates the entire room. Choose fixtures that complement your bedroom decor and provide sufficient light for various activities.

Task Lighting:

Task lighting, such as bedside table lamps, desk lamps, or wall-mounted reading lights, focuses on specific areas for activities like reading, working, or getting ready. Task lighting should be adjustable and positioned to reduce glare and enhance visibility.

Accent Lighting:

Accent lighting, such as wall sconces, recessed lights, or picture lights, highlights architectural features, artwork, or decorative elements in your bedroom. Accent lighting adds depth, visual interest, and a touch of elegance to your space.

Ambient Lighting:

Ambient lighting creates a soft, overall glow that sets the mood in your bedroom. Wall sconces, dimmable ceiling lights, or track lighting can provide ambient illumination to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Tips to Choose Bedroom Lighting

Consider the Room Size:

The size and layout of your bedroom will influence the type and placement of lighting fixtures. Ensure that the lighting is proportional to the room size and complements the overall design scheme.

Layer Your Lighting:

Create a layered lighting scheme by combining different types of lighting (ambient, task, accent) to provide versatility and flexibility in illuminating your bedroom. Layered lighting adds depth and ambiance to your space

Match Lighting to Activities:

Identify the activities you typically do in your bedroom, such as reading, watching TV, or relaxing. Choose lighting fixtures that cater to these activities, such as adjustable task lighting for reading nooks or dimmable ambient lighting for relaxation.

Coordinate Fixtures:

Select lighting fixtures that coordinate in style, finish, and design to create a cohesive look in your bedroom. Coordinate your lighting with other decor elements to enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the space.

The complete room

Bring every detail together.

Start with the way you unwind.

A bedroom should support reading, getting ready and slowing down. Let the bed placement and furniture layout guide ceiling fixtures, bedside lamps or wall sconces. Consider how light reaches each side of the bed and where convenient controls belong.

Layer the room beyond lighting.

A chair, accent table or mirror can make the room feel more complete. Compare furniture proportions before choosing lamps, and think about what a mirror will reflect. Add home accents selectively so the room feels personal without becoming crowded.

Soften the windows and refine the controls.

Explore Graber window treatments for privacy and light control, then compare designer switches and outlets that fit the room’s finish palette. Ask about the particular products, installation and compatibility requirements before making final choices.

Coordinate the hardware.

Bring a photo of your door and cabinetry finishes to our store. Hardware is available to shop in person, where you can compare quality, feel and finish with a dedicated expert.

Lighting for the room

Begin with a calm foundation.

Choose ambient lighting that suits the room’s proportions and ceiling height. A chandelier adds presence, while a flush or semi-flush fixture can be a quieter choice for a lower ceiling. Consider how the fixture looks from the doorway and from the bed before making your selection.

Bring light closer to everyday moments.

Bedside lamps, reading sconces and a floor lamp can support different activities without lighting the entire room. Think about the height of nightstands, the reach of a reading light and the convenience of controls. Leave room for books, chargers and the other things you keep nearby.

Connect comfort and personal style.

Layered bedroom lighting gives you more flexibility than one central fixture. Coordinate finishes with furniture and soft furnishings, then discuss dimming and bulb choices. If a ceiling fan is part of the room, compare its proportions, airflow needs and light kit options alongside the decorative lighting.

Plan with confidence

Your questions, considered.

Are lamps or sconces better for the bedside?

Lamps are easy to move and add a decorative layer; sconces can free up the nightstand. Consider reading needs, available electrical locations and the height of the bed.

How can I make the room more flexible?

Use separate layers for general lighting, reading and softer evening light. Ask about controls and bulb compatibility before ordering.
