Lighting Guide- Bedroom
Bedroom
This is an area so often neglected. Consider the number of functions required
of a bedroom.
For dressing you may need a general illumination or, if your partner has
to rise at a different time, do you need a lower level pool of light which
won't disturb them? A well positioned downlighter will help here.
Many people read in bed and with a double room, it is useful to have bedside
lights which are individually switched. Adjustable reading lamps are ideal
if you want to read while your partner sleeps. For convenience and safety you
should aim to have all of the bedroom lights controlled from the bed.
Dressing tables used for make-up will need more specific lighting and the use
of two slender table lamps either side of a mirror gives a good working light
without glare and will add to the cosy effect of the room.
Try to create pools of light to reduce any hard contrasts. Adding a table lamp
or illuminating pictures will be very effective. Childrens room
