Turn Your Bedroom Into A Sanctuary With These Lighting Ideas

A bedroom is the most important part of your living space, and you can’t deny that. While designing your home, you need to ensure that this important space goes hand-in-hand with the most important aspect of design, lighting. If there’s no harmony between your bedroom and the lighting designs it houses, it can negatively influence a lot of things in your life. Now, you have numerous reasons to prioritise your bedroom when designing your home. Your bedroom is your sanctuary, and it is the space where you begin and end your day. Your bedroom is your escape from everything, and it is your soothing respite. It is essential that you enjoy and cherish every moment your spend in this space. 

A sense of calm or tranquillity is something that everybody seeks in their bedroom, and that’s another reason why your ambience has to be carefully curated. Your lighting should complement your mood even when you’re full of zeal and when you’re feeling foggy too. The lighting in this space can very easily dictate how you feel, and that’s why you need to pay enough attention to your bedroom and make sure it exudes just the warmth you’ve always sought. While all this sounds really intricate and too difficult to pull off, it really isn’t. When you start planning the lighting layout of your space, begin with getting the needs sorted. Every lighting fixture comes with its own characteristics, purpose and functionality, and the more combinations you try in the space, the better understanding you will have of what your space needs. 

One major advantage you have while decorating your bedroom is that you can let your imagination run wild. It isn’t really necessary to match your bedroom’s theme with the overall theme of your abode. And since this is the space you really would be spending a lot of time at, you should consider giving it a look that totally resonates with your personality.   

The White Teak Company takes you through some of the most efficient and effective lighting techniques to turn your room into your own sanctuary that exudes serenity like none other. Now take a look at all you need to do…

1. Unlock your bedroom’s true potential with layered lighting 

Layered lighting lends uniform illumination to your bedroom while effortlessly eliminating the daunting shadows in the space. Layered lighting is one of the simplest design concepts to understand and incorporate into your bedroom. This design concept adds an extra dimension to your bedroom and makes it much more alluring and appealing than you would’ve ever found it. While the visuals are definitely stirring due to layered lighting, the design concept also infuses much-needed warmth into your bedroom and creates an inviting atmosphere. 

Layered lighting consists of three elements - ambient lighting, task lighting and accent lighting - and each of these elements has a distinct characteristic and serves a different purpose. If done right, layered lighting ensures that there really isn’t any disturbance or distraction in the space, and the lighting is easy on the eyes too.  

Here are a few designs straight from the quintessential collection of lighting from The White Teak Company…

2. Get the colour temperature of the fixtures right 

Before we delve deeper into this, it is important to get the basics right. Colour temperature can impact the look and feel of your space and influence your mood too. It is necessary to get this detail right. 

Colour temperature is measured in Kelvin (K), and the lower the figure, the warmer the light becomes. Residential lighting usually operates between 2000K to 6500K. For a perfectly warm ambience, consider going with lighting designs that operate between 2000K to 3000K, as the warm white light would look absolutely gorgeous in your decor. If you’re looking for lighting designs to add functionality to your space, then go for fixtures that operate at 4000K and upwards, as you’ll find neutral white, bright white, and cool white up the scale.

3. Pick felicitous primary lighting designs for the bedroom 

Overhead lighting designs and bedrooms are a match made in heaven, and they can do wonders for your space. When we say overhead lighting designs, what comes to your mind first is a chandelier, a ceiling light or a pendant light. And you’re not wrong at all, as these are the most common overhead lighting designs. Chandeliers are gorgeous lighting designs, but when we say primary lighting, we’re referring to something that’s a bit brighter and more intense.

A ceiling light would be a flawlessly perfect design for your bedroom as this recessed lighting fixture would house an LED panel that would be bright enough to light up every nook and cranny of your living space. A pendant light would not be of much help here, even though the lighting fixture offers focused lighting. A pendant light can be used for much more particular tasks like lighting up your reading nook or anything like that. 

Go ahead and browse through our extensive collection of Ceiling Lights and pick the one that fits your space the best. 

4. Personalise your space with dimmable lighting 

Dimmable lighting has taken the industry by storm, and for all the right reasons. Dimmable lighting flaunts a stunning blend of form and function, and it becomes an easy choice to make for your space. There are various kinds of dimmable lighting designs available in the market. You’ll find some designs that can be controlled by your smartphone, while there will be some that would be paired with their own remote control. 

Dimmable lighting can do wonders for your ambience as you can adjust almost every aspect of lighting in your bedroom. It’s not just the look and feel of these lighting designs that make them stand out of the crowd, it’s their energy efficiency too that makes them a crowd-favourite.

These lights not just accentuate the aura of your bedroom but also enhance the convenience and functionality of the space.

There are a number of designs you can go for, be it table lamps, wall lights or even pendant lights.
