Wall lights:
Wall lights in the bedroom are decorative and create an elegant ambience. They do not need extra space because they are simply installed on the existing walls. Wall lights can be discreet or eye-catching. A modern or traditional design makes wall lights a popular light source and decorates the room without appearing overloaded.
Dimmable lighting:
On darker winter days or for mild summer evenings, bedroom lamps with dimmers are an innovative way to adjust the light intensity as desired. With this clever technology, you can also save electricity when bright light is not needed.
Mood lights:
LED strips, fairy lights and lamps in various shapes and colors create the right mood for every occasion. Raucous parties or cozy moments of peace and quiet indoors and outdoors are made even more beautiful by chic mood lights.
Reading corner with floor lamp:
A Floor lamp in the bedroom is often a sophisticated design element that is part of the decor. Floor lamps cast a focused light on a desired area and are equipped with built-in dimmers. They are a modern and classic accessory for elegant bedrooms.
Natural light:
Natural daylight provides energy and regulates a healthy sleep-wake rhythm. With chic curtains or modern blinds, you can create your preferred light intensity and use enchanting lamps for your bedroom in the evening.
Different shades of white:
A warm white light (2700-3000 Kelvin) immerses your bedroom in a calming atmosphere. The pleasant lighting has a relaxing effect on the eyes and is just right before falling asleep.
Indirect lighting:
Indirect lighting for furniture and on walls creates a stylish ambiance. Set highlights and accents in your bedroom!
Personal style:
At BUYnBLUE, you can find individual lighting to suit your taste. This allows elegant lamps to harmonize perfectly with your personal interior style.
For activities such as getting dressed, vacuuming, or making the bed, bright, general lighting from a ceiling light in the bedroom is ideal. There is a wide range of designs available – from simple LED panels and spots to cozy shades. The selection of materials ranges from wood and metal to textiles and sustainable raw materials such as bamboo and rattan. An additional tip: Ceiling fans with integrated lighting provide cool air in the summer and help save on heating costs in the winter.
Even if the bedside lamp has a permanent place next to the bed, there are creative and space-saving alternatives. A pendant light at head height offers a stylish way to enjoy evening reading without cluttering the bedside table. This leaves the bedside table free for smartphones, radios, and other personal items. The Wabi-Sabi lamps in our shop are an excellent way to bring light into dark bedrooms while keeping the mood up.
Whether modern or retro, the variety of bedside lamps for the bedroom is impressively diverse. Table lamps in modern styles are particularly popular, creating a cozy atmosphere. This is best achieved with three basic rules: Avoid glare, choose translucent shades, and opt for indirect light as well as dimmable models. We have already discussed bedside lamps in one of our blog posts. Feel free to look here to get new trends and inspiration.
The lighting in the bedroom is particularly important as it ensures relaxation and recreation. Wall lamps at the head of the bed, with subtle colors, textiles, or natural materials, contribute significantly to the feel-good concept. They also save space, as the bedside table remains free for other things.
It is unusual that Floor lamps are not usually the first choice for lighting the head end. But they bring variety and modern accents to the bedroom. With delicate designs thanks to permanently installed LED technology, swiveling and adaptable frames for timeless spots and much more, Floor lamps offer a variety of possibilities. Depending on taste and need, both functional and decorative models can be found.
These functional lights, which are installed under or around the bed, react to movements and save you from searching for the light switch during nightly trips to the bathroom. Portable night lights with twilight sensors and batteries that can be taken anywhere are particularly practical.
To make the direct environment around the bed even more comfortable, indirect light, which is also dimmable, is best suited, ideally in a warm white light color. Learn more about cozy bed lighting from LED strips to shelf lights in our lighting ideas around the sleeping area.
A bedroom lamp that can be controlled via smartphone or voice assistant brings comfort and ambiance to your relaxation space. Smart bedroom lamps can be remotely controlled and switch on and off automatically. Complete lighting concepts can be combined with motion detectors and timers. These innovative lamps can be easily integrated into your smart home. Use mobile apps like Siri, Alexa and Google for convenient mobile control of your lighting throughout your home. Further information on how to make your lights smart can be found in our Smart Home collection.
The modern bedroom lamps at BUYnBLUE combine advanced technology with aesthetic design. High-quality materials such as precious metals, real wood and robust plastics are used to create lamps that are not only technologically advanced but also visually appealing. If you choose energy-saving lamps, you will also save money. You can find a whole article about energy-efficient lamps in our blog.
The number of lamps in the bedroom depends on the size of the room and the desired light intensity. For even illumination, two to three lamps or lights are often sufficient, which can be strategically placed.
The amount of light needed in the bedroom depends on the size of the room and its use. On average, about 100 to 150 lumens per square meter are recommended to create a pleasant atmosphere that is not too bright at the same time.
For bedrooms with sloping ceilings, ceiling lights with a flat profile or pendant lights that can be adapted to the slope of the roof are often ideal. Indirect lighting along the slopes can also create a cozy atmosphere.
Warm white light with a color temperature of about 2700 to 3000 Kelvin is ideal for the bedroom because it has a calming effect and supports the natural day-night rhythm. Avoid bluish or bright light before going to bed.
When lighting a bedroom, it is important to create a balanced mix of general lighting and accent lighting. Use dimmable lamps to adjust the brightness and use glare-free light sources.
