Discover 8 bedroom lighting ideas to create a restful retreat.
Multipurpose lighting
“Bedside lamps aren’t only for bedside tables. Place your lamp on a dresser or desk for an interesting lighting arrangement that adds dimension and clears up space.” – The Coricraft Team
Make a statement
“Use an unexpected bedside lamp to make a statement and create visual interest. For example, we paired our rattan Geneva furniture with a modern white lamp for a contrasted yet balanced look.” – The Coricraft Team
Create ambience
“A soft candlelit bedroom can create a peaceful sanctuary to relax in. Choosing scented candles specific to sleep and relaxation can help ensure a good night’s rest. Woolworths has a fantastic Apothecary range of candles – their names help make it easy to choose the perfect candle for you – Calm, Tranquil and Sleep.” – Courtney Louw, senior designer at Woolworths
Complement the room’s aesthetic
“Choose a side light that gives enough light but also adds to the room’s aesthetic. Side lights with round curves such as the mushroom lamp can soften the look and add a modern retro statement. Using energy-efficient bulbs is an Earth-conscious decision; make sure to choose a warm white to add more of a cosy feel.” – Courtney Louw, senior designer at Woolworths
Go big
“Depending on the size of a bedroom, a great statement piece is an eye-catching suspension lamp. It doesn’t need to hang over the bed; a suspension lamp can be above a desk or clustered in the corner of a room.” – Donna Smith, marketing manager at Créma Design
Maintain balance
“Lighting on either side of the bed is practical, and with the correct design, it can bring a whole look together. We love a low-hanging pendant on either side of the bed, or a trendy wall sconce with directional lighting.” – Donna Smith, marketing manager at Créma Design
Create urban appeal
“When it comes to illuminating an interior, don’t underestimate the impact of a beautifully designed lamp that adds a striking accent piece to your space. A contemporary Barcelona Desk Lamp brings a sense of urban chic to your bedroom, where it will make a bold statement piece that sets the tone.” – Deon van Wyk, key accounts manager and homeware buyer at Hertex
Include floor lamps
“Another exciting bedroom lighting idea is to use a magnificent Madrid Floor Lamp to light up a favourite spot or make a main focal point that draws the eye. The sheen, the metal and the warm glow of the lamp elevate the boudoir and make it a welcoming space that you can’t wait to retire to.” – Deon van Wyk, key accounts manager and homeware buyer at Hertex
