Placement of the sconce over the bed
Before hanging a sconce over the bed, it is advisable to decide for what purposes it is needed: decorative, practical, interior or to create intimate lighting.
Or, on the contrary, you need a sconce in order to calmly read, turning off the overhead light and not disturbing your partner's sleep.
Based on these goals, we choose the model of the sconce.
Sconces and wall lamps are available on the market in a wide variety of designs: both classic, with fabric lampshades, and made in a bizarre geometric shape or floristry. For decoration, it is better to use wall curly lamps.
It is very convenient if the button for turning on the lamp is located on a thread or wire. It is these lamps that have been used since the last century to create coziness in the bedroom, but now they have the most diverse look, including modern ones. In the presence of such a sconce, you can turn off the overhead light, remaining with the soft light of the sconce. Relax and talk before going to bed with your loved one or read at night, including from electronic devices, without spoiling your eyes by reading from the screen in the dark. And then, going to sleep, you just need to pull the wall lamp switch or press the button on the wire to turn off the light without getting out of the heated cozy bed.
And if something bothers you at night, you can turn on the light above the bed and look around the room to make sure that the cat or dog is making noise without getting up to the main switch.
First you need to find out how the wiring is laid in the room. Either the bed will have to be placed closer to the wiring line, or the wiring will be pulled to the bed during finishing work. The optimal height for a wall lamp above the bed is 1.2-1.7 meters from the floor. It depends on the height of the bed, mattress. Calculate the height so that you can reach the switch without getting out of bed, but also so as not to touch the protruding sconce while dressing and getting ready. Sconces are usually located either above the headboard or above the bedside tables, at a distance of half a meter up. Such sconces will also serve to highlight the bed from the general interior, to focus attention on it.

The location of the sconce also depends on the brightness of the luminaire. When choosing a lamp, first of all remember why you need a bedside light. For reading, it is worth choosing a brighter light, for decor and creating an atmosphere - more subdued. The bedroom is a place where too bright light is not needed, it is a relaxation room in which you want to relax after a hard day. Therefore, a sconce should be chosen with diffused light; sconces with dark lampshades are well suited for this. Light enough for reading will be directed downward, and the light will be soft and subdued around the room. It is good to install such sconces directly above the headboard.
It is better not to clutter up the bed with lighting, so if you decide to hang a wall lamp by the bed, then you do not need to place a table lamp on the bedside table or put a floor lamp by the bed. A variety of lamps is good if they serve different purposes, and for reading you need a bright sconce, and for atmosphere, the dimmed light of a night lamp or a lamp imitating candles.
If you have chosen a lamp that is too light and transparent, and the light interferes with your partner’s sleep, you can always install a less bright lamp or change the ceiling or lampshade to a darker one that transmits less light. You should choose lamps with the direction of light downwards, or use convenient rotary lamps that will allow you to read and illuminate the picture or decor if necessary.
As you can see, the location of the wall lamp above the bed depends only on your fantasies and tastes. On our website BCLight.ru you can find a wide variety of models. If you search for “wall lamp”, then in addition to traditional sconces with horns and lampshades, you can find decorative lamps of a wide variety of types and shapes.

Types of wall lamps
Bedroom lamps are classified according to several criteria:
- Construction:
- swivel night lights - 360 degree rotation for directional flow;
- stationary - create diffused lighting.
- Fixing type. Mounting the ceiling or lampshade on the wall is carried out using a bracket. Lamps with a variety of decorative shapes, suitable for decorating the interior of a bedroom in any style.
Devices that attach directly to a surface are called near-surface devices. Shapes of lampshades are oval, rectangular or round. Such devices in the room are rarely used, but are indispensable for interior design in the style of loft, modern, hi-tech and minimalism.
Models with pendant lampshade are universal. They are suitable for any premises, as they have a diverse design, expand the space.
- Types of switches:
- touch: non-contact method of connection due to the sensor's response to movement;
- keyboard or push-button, in which the mechanism is located on the wire of the device and is connected to the socket;
- chain (cord or rope) - the light works by pulling the chain.
Where to place the wall lamp?
When choosing the location of the lamps in the bedroom, it is recommended to remember that this room is not only for sleeping. Accordingly, the lighting in it is ordinary, decorative and working. The correct arrangement of electrical appliances in the room creates coziness and comfort.
Main lighting installation areas:

- near the dressing table;
- specially zoned space.

Wall sconces can be hung in the bedside area:
- above the bed;
- on the sides of the headboard.
Mounting the first option is not advised, because while reading a person will block the light, casting a shadow.
It is recommended to place the sconces above the bed in the bedroom on the sides of the headboard at the same level and rather low. In this area of the room you need to adhere to soft, dim lighting. But it is also worth paying attention to the location of the switch for comfortable operation.
Compactness is a strong argument for installing a lighting fixture in a headboard. This type of fastening takes up a minimum of space, fits snugly to the surface. There are no protruding brackets.
Headboard shades can be matched to the color of the walls without drawing the eye.
And located in the center above the bed, they become a highlight.
To create a designer accent with a lighting device, you need to choose a more massive lampshade, the main thing is to know when to stop. The choice of any option is suitable subject to the style direction of the room.
Above the bedside table
The most common solution is to install floor lamps on the furniture near the bed on both sides.
A wide range of fixed light sources allows you to choose from a ceiling lamp with downward or bidirectional flow. The main advantage of these lamps is that there is no need to drill the wall with a sufficient number of sockets near the bed.

However, hanging lampshades and plafonds located above the bedside tables are gaining more and more popularity. The optimal mounting height is considered to be 50 cm from the surface of the bed.
This arrangement has several advantages:
- table next to the bed is not loaded with objects;
- focuses on the headboard area;
- A wide range of pendant models with a fixed or adjustable base gives you the added ability to control the light as needed.
Adjustable base lamps are quite flexible and allow you to adjust the lighting.
Expert opinion
Olga Kovalenko
Since 2010 I have been engaged in interior design and architectural design
Bending lamps are suitable for a modern interior. Their design resembles a lantern. The priority of this model is that it has a small size, flexible base and can be fixed in any position. This design is attached both to the wall and to the bed frame.
Optimum placement of the luminaire
There are no specific requirements for the location of light sources in the room.
There are recommendations to help change the appearance, practicality and safety of the room:
- In the bedside area, the lighting should be placed at a level of no more than 120-180 cm.
- Wall sconces above the bed should be installed at a height of 20-30 cm above the back. With a headboard of 160 cm, chain or frame-mounted models are recommended.
- Depending on the height of the person, the appliance switch should be located at the level of the palm of an outstretched hand.
- For an upward beam, the lamp should be positioned lower. Accordingly, provided that the light is oriented downwards, the lampshade is mounted higher.
- The space around the vanity needs more light. Therefore, here the backlight should be placed either at the top of the mirror, or on both sides. The direction of the beam must be even. Depending on the size of the dressing table, the number of light sources is selected.
- To ozonize space, paintings or photos, so that there are no glare or overexposed areas, it is recommended to use subdued light and a paired arrangement of devices.
- The void on the wall can be filled by placing several original candlesticks on it.
- To illuminate indoor plants, it is better to choose a plain shade.
- To visually increase the boundaries of the room, you should choose a sconce, the flow of which is directed upwards.
- In rooms with high ceilings, to create relaxation and coziness, it is desirable to give preference to lighting fixtures with a beam directed downwards.
Sconce positioned low
Headboard lamps set low will create discomfort and dazzle the eyes, but a sconce with a lampshade mounted high also provides little light.
Therefore, in order to accentuate the sleeping place, it is desirable to install wall lamps on the sides of the bed. And to avoid injury to the eyes from the lamp, it is recommended to use electrical appliances with a closed design in the bedside area.
Combination of several sconces
Designers, as well as people with a subtle sense of perception, create their own unique interior, emphasize the inner world and individuality, combining incongruous.
Very temperamental people can decide on this, for whom a room designed in the same style will seem boring. For example, they can install several electrical appliances they like at once in one space.
Combination of different stylistic lamps in a certain room is possible if:
- Sconces are used in a studio apartment, where there is a common space and a clear division into functional areas.
- The bedroom is decorated in a style where experimentation is allowed. These areas include: eclecticism, modern, loft, steampunk.
- The room is not small and has a zoned space.
Tips & Tricks
Before you buy wall lamps, you need to think about all the little things: the mounting location, wiring design, color scheme, style, materials and overall design of the room.
When choosing an electrical appliance, the following criteria must be taken into account:
- In order for the product to have good characteristics, when buying, it is important to pay attention to well-known and trusted manufacturers, as well as the availability of a quality certificate, safety and instructions in Russian.
- The product model of a lighting device should not only be easy to use, but also be in harmony with the environment in the room, fit into the style direction of the room. For example, choosing green and blue shades will give the bedroom a cold, gloomy touch.
- Keep in mind the convenience when using the appliance. It is best to turn the light on and off without getting out of bed and pressing a key. There is also a trick for those who like to sleep in a chair - installing a lighting device with a motion sensor.
- If you like to read or work in a horizontal position, it is better to choose a light source on brackets. Otherwise, it will be necessary to adjust to the beam flow.
- When choosing a light bulb, you can give preference to different types of lighting. However, the location of the backlight should be considered.
So, matte lamps (incandescent) are recommended to be installed near the dressing table. Halogen and LEDs create yellow lighting, while fluorescents do not convey the color gamut correctly. In the headboard area, it is desirable to give preference to LED lamps, as they do not heat up, do not blink, create soft light, and are economical.
- The presence of a rheostat in the device will make it possible to change the intensity of illumination. This is especially convenient if there is a baby cot in the room. And the minimum power of the device will turn it into a night light. But in such shades you should not use energy-saving lamps.
- Bulbs should be taken with a power of 40-75 W for the bedside area and 100 W for the rest of the room.
