Small Bedroom Lighting: the Best Ideas for Decoration and Design

• wall mounted reading lamps;
• chandeliers;
• fans with lights;
• tracks;
• fixtures, recessed in the ceiling.

This will spare much space in the small room.

The General Idea

Your must-do is to create such a room that every part of it was neither darkish nor overly bright. So, the thing is that you’ll have to shine the light on every part, rather than on the entire room.

More Ideas

1. Multiply the room width by its length and then multiply the result by 1.5 to find out the minimal total wattage necessary for a room.

2. To install a centered overhead light to provide the room with ambient lighting.

3. Set the switch inside the room right by the entrance.

4. Screw in the brightest bulbs the electrics will allow.

5. Shed adequate lights onto those places where you are going to do things: the reading desk, a chair and vanity, a walk-in closet etc. For example, adjustable wall sconces work just fine for reading in bed.

6. Use mirrors. It will make the room seem larger.

7. Add mood lights to balance the general and task lighting and enhance ambient. Usually mood lighting is added last.

8. Choose the color of your lightings. Both fluorescent and incandescent lightings come in vast array of warmth. Pick the one that fits your personal preferences, or mix both cold and warm colored bulbs in one room. The best way to determine what bulbs to use is to try on different options.

9. Combine natural sunlight with electric lighting to make a small room appear brighter.
