How to achieve the best bedroom lighting

Figuring out the best lighting for sleep is easy, just turn all the lights out! But there is so much more than sleeping going on in a bedroom: Waking up, getting dressed, relaxing, reading, winding down. Make sure to plan the light in separate zones for those different activities.

The main light is just the beginning

Most rooms have a main ceiling lamp, but the bright ideas don’t stop there. With wall mounted lamps, integrated wardrobe lighting, a floor lamp and rechargeable lamps to move around, there are ways to have a completely different light in the bedroom at different times.

Open for light

PAX wardrobes can be complemented with ÖVERSIDAN integrated light, that automatically shines the light on all your clothes and belongings the second you open the wardrobe doors.

Step into the limelight

A big smile and an extra lamp over a full-size mirror like LINDBYN, are all you need to feel like a star! It’s also a great way to check your outfit without having to turn on the main lamp and light up the entire room.

So much more than a light bulb

Choose light bulb carefully to make sure you get exactly the right warmth and strength of light, dimmable or not, big or small, with remote control or not. It’s worth the effort to find the perfect one.

Light a candle and feel the wings of time

There’s something almost poetic about lighting a real candle. Perhaps it’s a built-in greeting from old times, telling us to take a deep breath and slow down?

The tones of falling asleep

The bedside table is a great spot for a speaker, especially if that speaker is built into a dimmable lamp. Listen to soft music, a book, a fall asleep-podcast or whatever best relaxes your mind.
