Bedroom lighting works best when it supports different activities: getting dressed, reading and winding down. Combine useful light with a few decorative accents instead of depending on a single bright fixture.
1. Add bedside reading lamps
A lamp on each side of the bed lets readers adjust their own light. Choose a shade or adjustable head that directs light where you need it.
2. Use a soft overhead light
A ceiling fixture provides general illumination. A diffuser can soften glare, while a compatible dimmer gives you more control.
3. Highlight a headboard
Wall-mounted fixtures beside a headboard can leave the nightstands clear. Use a qualified electrician for hardwired installations.
4. Make a photo display
Clip photographs to a display near decorative lights, keeping them separate from bulbs and following the light set’s instructions. The example above uses a wall display above the bed.
5. Light a reading corner
A floor lamp next to a comfortable chair can turn an unused corner into a place to read. Route the cord where it will not be a trip hazard.
6. Try a plug-in wall lamp
A plug-in sconce can be useful where a bedside table is narrow. Secure both the fixture and cord as directed by the manufacturer.
7. Add a gentle night light
A low-level night light near a clear route to the door can provide visibility without lighting the entire room.
8. Use a lighted mirror
A mirror with lighting designed for that purpose can make dressing easier. Check product ratings and installation requirements, especially near water.
9. Consider a timer
A compatible timer or smart plug can help control a lamp. Check that the device is rated for the lamp and follow both products’ instructions.
10. Choose a consistent mood
Try bulbs with a similar warm appearance in lamps used together, and keep brighter task lighting available where you need it.
Decorative light safety
Use lights tested by a recognized laboratory and follow the instructions for their intended location and duration. Inspect cords, use suitable clips rather than nails or staples, keep lights away from bedding and other combustible materials, and turn them off before sleeping. See CPSC decorative lighting advice.
