Why do you need lamps for the bedroom?
Lamps are an essential item for any bedroom. They will help create an intimate atmosphere with the central lighting turned off. But their main function is that they will add additional lighting to the room and allow you to read in more comfortable lighting. And if you want to get out of bed at night, you won’t have to feel your way to the central switch - everything will be at your fingertips. Therefore, bedside lamps for the bedroom must meet the main requirement - to be in the immediate access zone from the bed (at a distance of no more than an arm's length).
Also among the advantages of bedside lamps is that installing this type of lighting will not require much space, but the convenience will increase many times over.
The lamps can be placed on the bedside table or attached to the wall - the choice is yours. A very fashionable option lately is floor lamps without unnecessary decorative elements. When choosing a lamp, you should take into account your needs and the stylistic direction of the room.

Bedroom lighting functions
There are three main functions or tasks:
- lighting of furnishings;
- adding the necessary accents to the interior;
- organization of space zoning.
Let's take a closer look at the last task. Various lamps are used for this purpose. It all depends on what they want to highlight.
So, for the reading area it is appropriate to use wall lighting, sconces and floor lamps. True, the latter are recommended only for spacious rooms.
Looking for something more functional? Buy beautiful table lamps for your bedroom. They can be used on bedside tables, dressing tables, and consoles.
To summarize, we note that the arrangement of lighting in the bedroom cannot be treated irresponsibly.
Too much depends on it, including the overall impression of the interior, as well as the quality of sleep and rest. Therefore, do not be lazy, consult with a specialist about how, what kind of lamps and where it is better to install.
Requirements for bedside models
Let us outline the basic requirements that lamps must meet for comfortable and safe use:
- Compliance with safety standards. First of all, lamps must be fireproof and not emit toxic impurities.
- It is recommended to use LED or LED lamps instead of incandescent lamps.
- Choose a lamp so that the light does not shine directly into your eyes. It should dissipate gently.
Advice! Choose soft lighting for the bedroom. It is better to abandon green and blue shades, which make the lighting too pale. They will add a touch of unnecessary coldness to the interior. In addition, they are not suitable for comfortable reading. A transparent lampshade will be a universal option for every interior.
Finally, don't forget about the interior. The lamp should fit organically into it, and not be dissonant. After all, an unsuitable lamp can ruin all your efforts to decorate the interior. At the same time, a stylish bright lamp can enliven even a boring and dull room.
When decorating the interior in modern styles, you should take into account the fact that trendy lamps are not always pleasing to the eye. Therefore, in addition to current trends, be guided by your own preferences: after all, you will be living in the room, and not the fashion designers from glossy magazines.
Types of bedside lamps
What the designers haven't thought of! In addition to traditional bedside lamps, they have recently offered hanging ceiling, floor and wall options.

Floor lamps have become especially popular lately. A very interesting and rare lighting option is hanging lamps installed directly above the bed. Such lamps are more often found in the kitchen above the work area, but few people still hang them above the bed. Therefore, by choosing this type of lighting, you risk being extremely original and impressing your guests. Such lamps are usually installed in quantities of at least two or three pieces. Together they form a whole ensemble. This makes the lighting brighter and gives a unique character to the bedroom.
LED pendant lights can also be used in a more traditional way, such as hanging them over a cabinet. In this case, they will seem to float above it, giving the bedroom “weightlessness” and lightness.
