The Importance Of Lighting In The Bedroom

The average person sleeps for about 8 hours per night. If you live to 75 years old, you’ll spend about 25 of those years asleep. Now clearly living a third of your life in the darkness might lead you to think that the bedroom lighting isn’t so important, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Whether your bedroom is used for sleeping, reading, getting ready for a big night out or even setting the mood for a big night in, creating the right atmosphere in any bedroom is vital. Lighting is a huge part of that and we have everything you need to create the bedroom of your dreams.

Any bedroom can be a real statement of intent. When it comes to illustrating your personality, your style and your unique taste, the lighting you choose can complement all aspects of what makes a bedroom the place you simply want to be, rather than just a place to lay your head.

For all the shared rooms in the house, the bedroom is often the only place we can genuinely be ourselves. Our incredible range of lighting allows you to do just that, even if you share it with someone special. Whether you want to go traditional lighting and create a cosy corner of the home for relaxing, reading or ‘special cuddles’ then we have the range to suit. If you want to go minimalist and functional, then we can do that too.

If you’re looking for lighting that blends subtly with your furniture to really catch the eye, but stimulate your other senses, then our range from Elstead Lighting excels. From traditional gold, silver and bronze finishes to the classic Tiffany style lamps or their wall and floor lights. They will all bring a warmth to your master bedroom that few other fittings will.

Of course, the main bedroom, where apparently ‘all the magic happens’, probably won’t be the only bedroom in the house. Whether you’ve got a houseful of kids or some rooms ready for friends and family coming over to stay, the sheer range of looks that a bedroom can adopt, means Castlegate Lights needs a whole selection of styles for you to choose from. Thankfully, we’ve got you covered and it’s no trick of the light.

You may well have noticed the change in the calendar and are looking to redecorate the kids bedroom ready for Father Christmas (yes, he’ll be here soon – sorry!), then Eglo lighting have some fantastic lights that will look amazing for children of any age. If they’re really young, then their spotlights look like colourful animal characters, rather than lights. As they get older, then they have some ceiling lights for boys and girls, from kites to aeroplanes. If they’re getting to be more grown-up, then Oaks Lighting have some beautiful Tiffany-style lamps that look grown up, but still have a playful side. They come as cats, dogs, frogs or butterflies and need to be seen to be believed.

Bedroom lights are as individual as the person who lays their head within. Whatever style you want to create, whatever atmosphere you want to rest your weary head in, the lights you choose will play a massive part in that process. Take a look at the range of bedroom lighting we have and you’ll amazed at just what is on offer to create somewhere you’ll want to spend far more than a third of your life in.
