When it comes to decorating the bedroom, lighting is often forgotten in the excitement of choosing bedding and furniture, along with picking a color scheme. That's a shame because good lighting is a very important element of design in every room of the home. Don't merely set a lamp beside your bed and call it done; use the following ideas to create a functional and beautiful lighting plan for your own bedroom, like the gorgeous combination of lamps and ceiling fixture in this bedroom from Robin Gannon Interiors.
Every Bedroom Needs a Combination of Light Sources
Unless your bedroom is extremely small, it needs more than one source of light. Various combinations of bedside lamps, floor lamps, ceiling fixtures, and mood lighting make it easy to read in bed, get dressed and undressed, enjoy romance, and relax. In this gorgeous green and brown bedroom from interior designer Tobi Fairley, a stunning chandelier and two small bedside wall sconces set the lighting scene.
Strong Pattern on a Simple Lampshade
A lighting fixture doesn't have to be fancy to provide a powerful punch of design to the room. Case in point: The drum lampshade on the ceiling fixture in this bedroom from Tobi Fairley & Associates is simple in shape, but it holds its own against the many other strong touches in the bedroom thanks to its bold black-and-white stripes.
Pendant Lights Are Stylish and Space-Saving
One of the easiest ways to save space on your nightstand is to use pendant lights in place of bedside lamps, as demonstrated in this glamorous bedroom from Jaimee Rose Interiors.
Flush-Mount Ceiling Fixtures in the Bedroom
One of the most common types of bedroom lighting is a flush-mount ceiling fixture, as shown in the bedroom from Studio McGee shown here. While flush-mount fixtures have something of a reputation for being boring or unattractive, a well-chosen fixture can be quite lovely, as this one proves.
Recessed Lighting in a Headboard Nook
This small bedroom from Atelier Noel gets a lot of natural light during the day, but at night, the owner can flood the room with light by turning on the flush-mount glass-and-brass ceiling fixture, or merely use the recessed lighting over the headboard for a softer glow.
Semi-Flush-Mount Lighting Fixtures
Semi-flush-mount fixtures hang down just a few inches from the ceiling, as opposed to flush-mount fixtures, which are at ceiling level; and chandeliers and pendants, which typically hang further down on thin chains or poles. The chic bedroom from the Melissa Davis Group shown here has a unique metal semi-flush-mount drum fixture.
Non-Traditional Chandelier in a Master Bedroom
While chandeliers are often the traditional, crystal-bedecked design, that's not the only option. Here, a gorgeous, gold, 3-tier drum chandelier adds a hefty dose of "Wow!" to this bedroom from Tatum Brown Custom Homes.
Save Space With Wall Sconces
Wall sconces are a great way to save space in a tiny bedroom, like the one shown here from Lindye Galloway Interiors. Plus, when the sconce has an adjustable arm, you can focus it right on your reading material, or wherever else you'd like to shine a bit more light.
Sputnik Chandelier in an Eclectic Bedroom
Everything about this eclectic bedroom is glorious, but the wonderful sputnik crystal chandelier is the icing on the cake. From Anne Coyle Interiors, this bedroom is a study in the brilliant use of color, pattern, texture, and shine.
Matching Bedside Lamps
Every bed needs some form of a bedside lamp. You can match your lamps, as Jana Bek Design did in this colorful bedroom, or choose mismatched lamps for a more casual style. As long as the lamps are fairly close in size, they will look fine.
Colorful Pendant Lights in the Bedroom
This colorful bedroom has an eclectic, retro feel, in no small part thanks to the bright pink hanging pendant light fixture. Lampshades are a great way to add a shot of color or pattern to your bedroom. Emily Henderson Interiors decorated this pretty space.
Bedside Lamps as Accent Pieces
Your bedside lamp is one of the easiest ways to add a pop of color, texture, pattern, or contrast to your bedroom. Here, Kelly Rogers Interiors chose a turquoise foo dog lamp to top a bright yellow nightstand. The contrast adds so much life to the room.
Space Light Sources Around the Bedroom
Notice how Atmosphere Interior Design worked multiple light sources around this contemporary bedroom. Two bedside lamps, a ceiling fixture, and a floor lamp are spaced around the room to provide plenty of light for every need.
Whimsical Bedside Lamp Ideas
Why settle for a boring bedside lamp when you could have an owl? Or a monkey, horse, seashell, pine tree. There's a lamp out there for whatever you fancy. Here, blog Darling Darleen adds a touch of fun to an orange and white room.
