Secrets of a Well-Lit Bedroom

The bedroom is the place where we finally leave our daily woes behind. It is meant to be a place of comfort and coziness where we can feel good in our skin. In many ways, it is the last “bastion” of the kingdom that you can truly call your own – a home. This is why it is important to take care of every aspect of this room to create a truly comfy place and making an effort when it comes to light sources can truly pay off. If you are interested in how to do this, here are some secrets of a well-lit bedroom.

Go soft

The key thing when it comes to a well-lit bedroom is not to overdo it. You do not need a fixture that can throw a blinding light with the strength that can rival theater reflectors. In order to have a relaxing bedroom, you have to go soft.

This is not a dining room or a living room where you can “show off” the light show and where you can experiment with interior design coupled with a variety of crazy lights. In fact, too much light in your bedroom can be a form of light pollution when you think about it.

This means you should avoid LED light bulbs in your bedroom at all cost. They may be a good solution for your kitchen or your bathroom, but they are known to cause a lot of stress for your eyes, which is something you cannot have in this environment.

Bet on lamps

Chandeliers are superfluous in bedrooms. They tend to be bulky and hard to clean, not to mention there is always the danger of something falling off while you’re asleep and, if the bed is directly under the chandelier, waking you up in a very unpleasant way. It is a much better solution to install wall fixtures and add a dash of milky glass cover over the bulbs, something that will make the contrast dimmer and contours of the room smoother.

This is why lamps are such a good type of lighting to bring into your bedroom. They can be heavily stylized, different and colorful – they are a perfect tool to bring something aesthetically distinctive into your bedroom while fulfilling their basic lighting function.

Their best feature is that they are completely optional and movable – it is easy to throw them out of the room or replace them if you find a more suitable lamp. Salt lamps are a very popular choice among the people who lead a healthy lifestyle. Even if you do not believe in the health benefits of salt lamps, they can look very appealing and give your bedroom a very distinctive look.

Have an electrician on speed dial

Short circuits and malfunctioning light switches are nothing particularly special. In fact, they are the bane of every household’s existence. When it comes to electrical issues and emerging problems, you will probably notice something is wrong in your bedroom long after the evening has started.

This is why every household needs to have a reliable emergency Sydney electrician on speed dial. Being able to call a repairman at any time of the day is truly an invaluable luxury that usually does not cost much.

Each room in your household should come with its own set of distinctive light sources that emphasize the role of the room. As the bedroom provides a space of safety and comfort, you need to adjust and install the light fixtures accordingly. Do not overdo it, and go for gentle solutions above all else. If you strike the right balance, you will end up with a perfect bedroom and you will truly be able to leave your stress at the door.
