As with most rooms, the bedroom ceiling lights are likely to be the main source, or 'big light’ if you will. Sometimes positioned centrally and almost always a focal point, ceiling lighting works to set the tone for a room’s scheme.
So, nailing bedroom ceiling lights is a biggie. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the options and put the ceiling light conundrum to bed.
The pendant is the classic option, the go-to guy. By virtue of its versatility, a pendant can be a great fit for most schemes.
Spotlights have moved from the more functional areas to almost every room in the home.
A ceiling light for the ceiling, a bold concept I know…but bear with me. There are a number of fixtures of varying designs that could be just the ticket.
For a bit of visual flair, you can’t go wrong with a chandelier. If the bedroom is in need of a focal point or feature, a chandelier offers a bold statement as well as a functional source.
Don’t feel like you have to commit to just one option. Most bedrooms will probably benefit from a mixture of the above.
Pendants
The pendant is the classic option, the go-to guy. By virtue of its versatility, a pendant can be a great fit for most schemes.
- Feature lighting – scale things up with a shade and create a focal point
- Practical – use pendants in pairs for effective bedside lighting
- Adaptable – style to suit your room. Stripped back, elaborately complex, or anywhere in between
Spotlights
Spotlights have moved from the more functional areas to almost every room in the home.
- Simple - recessed spots offer minimal impact lighting
- Flexible - surface mounted spotlights offer extra visual impact
- Focused - you can direct light where required
- Powerful - high output right where you need it
Ceiling light
A ceiling light for the ceiling, a bold concept I know…but bear with me. There are a number of fixtures of varying designs that could be just the ticket.
- More general - less directed than spotlights, offer more general output
- Low impact - great for low ceilings
Chandeliers
For a bit of visual flair, you can’t go wrong with a chandelier. If the bedroom is in need of a focal point or feature, a chandelier offers a bold statement as well as a functional source.
- Big looks - full-on feature lighting
- Versatile - scale up or down depending on the space
- Fun(ctional) - offers general lighting over a wide area
Combination
Don’t feel like you have to commit to just one option. Most bedrooms will probably benefit from a mixture of the above.
- Looks and Lumens - high output (but rather dull to look at) spotlights can be off-set with a few well placed pendants
- Statement and placement - a central chandelier for feature lighting and a pair of pendants for bedside lighting
- Take control - separate control for your separate ceiling lights is a great idea and allows you to change the mood as and when
