The foundation for your bedroom lighting is a ceiling lamp

A ceiling lamp with a dimmer is always a good idea. It provides practical lighting for cleaning, helps set the mood, and serves as general lighting when you wake up in the morning. Even more convenient: a smart ceiling lamp that you can control with a remote or the IKEA Home smart app on your phone.

A reading lamp is an essential part of bedroom lighting

A reading lamp next to your bed provides focused light, allowing you to read your favourite book even in the evening. Did you know that using smaller lamps in the room can make the space appear larger? Additionally, switching to smaller and less bright lights is a good step before going to sleep. This way, your eyes can start adjusting to dimmer light.

Making any lamp dimmable couldn’t be easier than with a pre-paired dimmer kit. Just screw in the LED light bulb and press the button on the remote.
