Bedroom Lighting Tips

CAKE Candle Votives

We all know lighting in a bedroom is important. Whether you try to create a sense of calm, or want to evoke a certain type of mood, how you light your space can make or break the feel. Harsh lighting can easily turn any mood into moodiness or calm into anxiety, and certainly no one wants their lighting to do that.

The best solution: mix various types of lighting (general, task and maybe some accent) for comfort and practicality. You’ll want general overhead lighting so you can see what you are doing while cleaning the dust bunnies off the floor, but you’ll also want to consider bedside lamps or adjustable wall mounted directional lighting for the moments when you are actually in bed. There is nothing worse than having to get out of cozy covers to turn the lights off.

Don’t forget that closets need lighting too! An easy to access bulb in a location that will illuminate as much of your closet as possible is the best solution from leaving your clothes in the dark.
