Your bedroom is your sanctuary.
From waking up to hitting the pillow after a long day’s work, it’s the place where you will spend a huge amount of your time (even though the majority of it will be in slumber). Curating your boudoir with the utmost comfort and all the luxuries is super important.
You may want to style your bedroom in a minimalistic way – with light hues of paint coating the walls and furnishings crafted with simplistic designs to maintain a low-key vibe. Or you may opt for a brighter is better approach with pops of bold hues, a scattering of funky ornaments and rugs to fill the space.
Whatever design style that you choose to follow, lighting will play a huge factor to achieve your desired result. Not only do bedroom lamps bring, well, illumination to your room, they also offer set the ambiance and can bring the style points - so it’s important that you pick right.
What to think about when choosing a bedroom lamp?
The purpose of your lamp: Is it for your bedside table so you can pick up your favourite novel and wind down in a perfectly lit background? Or for your WFH desk in the corner to provide a little more brightness? Alternatively, are you looking to nestle onto your shelving unit for an ambient glow? Decide what you need/want the lamp for before starting to shop around as this will alter the level of luminosity that you require.
Size: Bedroom lamps come in all shapes and sizes under the sun – think about where your lamp is going to be placed and how big/small it should be.
Design: There are seemingly endless designs – from glass and concrete bases, to paper and fabric shades – choose the one that will best suit the interiors of your room.
Features: A lot of lamps come with dimming features so you can alter the brightness of your bulb, some with just a simple tap. Work out if this is something on your must-have list.
