When lying in your comfortable double bed you want a peaceful atmosphere to wind down in. Using the right lighting will help to create this environment. Although we’d all like our bedrooms to be a tranquil and calm environment the reality is far from it. The bedroom seems to have many different purposes, often being a place for sleeping, a workplace and even a sewing room. We need to choose lighting to accommodate all these functions. A combination of lights may be the solution as certain activities need specific lighting. Using laptops, computers, sewing machines and reading books in the bedroom all require directed lighting whereas dressing areas need a brighter light. It is also important to have softer lighting for winding down. It is important to refrain from installing lights directly over the bed as this type of lighting creates a less comfortable environment. You may also have the tendency to look up at them while you are lying in bed. No matter what activities occur in your bedroom, don’t be dim and choose the best lighting to suit your needs.
