In autumn, when cold weather sets in and it becomes damp and wet outside, you especially want to feel the warmth and comfort of your own home. A hot fireplace, a comfortable sofa, a blanket, warm lighting of rooms – all these attributes make us a little happier in unsightly weather.
Today we would like to talk about lighting the sleeping area. After all, the bedroom is the place where we spend a third of our lives. And it is especially important with what mood you fall asleep and wake up. Especially in cold weather.
Put lamps on your bedside tables
The easiest way to do this is to put table lamps on either side of the bed. All you need to do this is sockets on either side of the headboard or an extension cord neatly tucked away behind the headboard or carpet..
Table lamps always look very expensive and sophisticated. They give some hint of tradition, thereby creating peace and tranquility in the room. Especially relevant now are light cone-shaped lampshades on glass or chrome-plated long bases.
Hang the sconce on the wall
If your bedroom is currently under renovation, you have a great opportunity to run wires to connect wall sconces. They are good because they do not take up space on the bedside table, they favorably highlight the area behind the headboard, which is often highlighted either with accent wallpaper, contrasting color or decor.
The sconces on an adjustable base are very comfortable – if you wish, you can move them tightly against the wall, and during the reading period before going to bed, adjust them so that the light falls on the book correctly.
Use suspensions
The most popular now are ceiling suspensions above the bed. If you are confident in the layout of the room and the bed will not change its location in the coming years until the next renovation, feel free to use suspensions.
It looks very stylish – a small chandelier will hang on a long cord at a distance of 50 cm and higher above the bedside table. You can play with the design as you please. The main condition will be not to choose chandeliers of too large a diameter so that they do not interfere with you in the bedroom..
Pay attention to ceiling lighting
Ceiling light, like no other, is the most functional. It scatters streams of light in such a way as to illuminate the maximum space around it. That is why design the location of the ceiling chandelier in the center of the room, drawing diagonals from one corner to another..
Choose the chandelier itself based on the following indicators: room size, ceiling height, interior style. All these criteria will tell you what type of light sources to look at – a chandelier with one lamp or with 8 arms, on ceiling chandeliers or suspensions, on a wrought iron or chrome base.
Decorate your headboard area with light
This technique is one of the favorite among architects and designers. The headboard area is being worked out quite carefully, and here there are options – to make a semblance of a niche and illuminate it with spotlights, hang many decorative small pendants, decorate the headboard with solid LED or fluorescent lighting.
In case you are interested in the method of such interior decoration. contact a specialist for a technical drawing. This will be the correct and deliberate decision, since such structures, although they are not a complex element, are often beyond the power of a person working in another area. You will save yourself from unnecessary expenses for rework, and save your nerves and time.
Successful implementation of your ideas in the house!
