Ambiental lighting of bedroom

The bedroom is primarily space for rest, relaxation and enjoyment. There are many factors playing role in realization of this atmosphere, but lighting is certainly one of the most important. Apart from central lighting, which has functional role, the ambiental lighting is also very important. It will make cosy atmosphere when the main lighting is turned off. It would be desirable to enable more ways of turning ambiental lighting on, so that different atmosphere could be made, depending on one’s mood.

It is of high importance that this kind of lighting has position in room which makes sure it does not flash and that it has ability to regulate the intensity of light.

Ambiental atmosphere can be accomplished by using desk or freestanding lamps on the nightstand or in the free space in the room, by the built-in lighting in the part of the ceiling (in case the ceiling is suspended) or by building in led lighting in the parts of furniture, like the newest trends seem to suggest.

In case you already have existing bedroom you don’t want to change and the ceiling doesn’t allow building in of luminaries, you can achieve ambiental lighting and cosy atmosphere by using desk lamps on nightstands. The lamp can also be set on a nearby dresser, but then you shouldn’t forget to adjust it so that it illuminates a decorative item. Setting the lamp on the floor, behind the bed would also contribute to the pleasurable atmosphere in the room. This is only possible when there is free space behind the bed.

Positioning of wall lighting behind the head of bed can also create beautiful play of light and shadows and therefore decorate the wall. In that case it is important that the wall isn’t painted with a bright colour, as well as there isn’t a visually dynamic painting on it.

If there are bed legs on the existing bed, ambiental lighting can be achieved by sticking a led tape on the inner edge of the bed and making indirect lighting under the bed. Building in of the lighting on the bed head would be decorative, but also functional – for reading.

In case you are redecorating your bedroom, it is possible to suspend the ceiling and build in lighting, either direct, or indirect, but in every case with option of regulation of light intensity.

Building  or buying new furniture enables trendy play of light and furniture and helps to create wonderful atmosphere in the bedroom. Interesting atmosphere can certainly be made by building in led tape in the interior of the closet, on the edge of the nightstand or bed. The closet zone is especially interesting for the play with light, and in the combination with other zones, the effect will be excellent. Building in of either whole-coloured or multicoloured RGB led lighting will additionally enrich the space.

Installing ambiental lighting is possible in both existing and new rooms, so dare to enrich your bedroom in simple, but very effective way!
