Bedroom ceiling lights do more than just illuminate your room. They can save you space, add style, and can even be transferred to other areas in your home. When choosing the right ones, it’s best to choose bedroom ceiling lights that cover all corners of your room.

 

Benefits of Bedroom Ceiling Lights

 

Space-Efficient

 

Bedroom ceiling lights, when powerful and dimmable, can save your room space. There will be no need for clunky floor lamps or bedside lamps that take up room for other things like tables, books, and more.

 

Saves Electricity

 

Most bedroom ceiling lights run on LED light fixtures. No matter how many bulbs they require, these LEDs will definitely help you save a buck or two when it comes to your electricity bill.  Moreover, they are eco-friendly too. LED lights are low maintenance and can last for more than a decade without ever needing a replacement. A word of caution though: these lights are bright. Thus, if you want to buy these, make sure they have dimmable settings (or at least a frosted glass casing).

 

Equal Illumination

 

Compared to traditional lamps, bedroom ceiling lights have more equal illumination. Since they sit above the entire room, these lights can brighten up more than one space at one go. 

 

What Color Should My Bedroom Ceiling Lights Be?

Planning a bedroom includes deciding on the best bedroom colors, bedroom storage shelves, and more. However, a factor that is often overlooked pertains to color. Which color fits which aesthetic and what colors complement each other?

 

 

Lights are often a footnote in room planning, but they can actually command the entire space of the room. Harsh white lights can make it seem sickly, while overly dim lights can make your rooms look eerie. Ceiling lights have to coordinate with every single item in the bedroom.

 

 

So, what color should your bedroom ceiling lights be? The answer is simple: it depends. However, there are ways to gauge what lights go with your bedroom. First, recognize your aesthetic because bedroom ceiling lights can change that right away. Is your room farmhouse-style? Glam-Luxe? Modern? Retro? A bit of everything jumbled in one? 

 

 

Choose a light that has finishes that complement your hardware. Lights with black and bronze detailing fit dark furniture, while silver and steel go with light browns, and sometimes blacks. 

 

 

The best bedroom ceiling lights are dimmable and adjustable. These features make it easy for the lights to fit any room they are in. When push comes to shove and you’re not sure what lights to get, just buy bedroom ceiling lights with range and high customization.

 

What is “Too Bright” For Your Bedroom?

Bedrooms should be a space for comfort and peace. Thus, direct light might be too harsh for such a place. In the same vein, too many lights can cause headaches and migraines, which is why many interior designers agree that bedrooms should only have one main light source. 

 

 

If you’re wondering what can make your bedroom too bright? Then the answer is once again, “it depends.” Smaller bedrooms can benefit from a singular medium-lit light source, whereas larger bedrooms may need a main light source with many LED bulbs for even illumination. In both of these choices, a ‘dimmer’ lighting option is always a green flag. 

 

 

To be more specific, you can calculate how bright a light should be depending on the room you plan to put it in. Multiply your room’s length with its width to get your room’s square feet. Once you’re done with this, you can decide on the lumens (brightness) of your bedroom ceiling lights.  

 

 

As a rule of thumb, bedrooms need 20 lumens per square foot. From here, multiply the required lumens per square foot. The answer you get can also help you choose the light wattage of your room. Four hundred fifty lumens is equal to 40 watts. One thousand one hundred lumens is equal to 75 (watts), so on and so forth. 

 

 

For this question, it is always best to check your light’s packaging. Usually, these can be answered by a simple glance at its features.

 

What Lights To Put in a Bedroom With a Ceiling Fan?

Another common question for people buying bedroom ceiling lights is whether or not they can still use lights in the presence of a ceiling fan. While some are lucky to buy ceiling fans with lights built-in, others simply have ceiling fans, with manufacturers hoping natural light pierces through its room. 

 

 

Bedroom ceiling lights have many benefits, so why let a ceiling fan stop you? The easy answer to “What lights to put in a bedroom with a ceiling fan?” is that you can modify the fans yourself. Often, ceiling fans have optional lighting sockets. Light kits are an easy fix for this—purchase one, a light bulb, and bring your screwdriver with you for a DIY afternoon. 

 

 

Should you want to get rid of your ceiling fan altogether, you can opt for this too. Bedroom ceiling lights are worth the swap, and most rooms are powered by air conditioning nowadays anyway. 

 

Types of Ceiling Lights

 

Flush Mount Ceiling Lights

These lights are the standard bedroom ceiling lights you think of when you are asked to imagine what they look like. Usually dome-shaped and stuck onto the ceiling, these lights blend in. They do their job—illuminate a room, nothing more and nothing less. 

 

 

For decorative and loud rooms, these may be a perfect fit.  They can brighten a space without attracting too much attention to themselves. These also work best for rooms with a ceiling of at least 8 feet tall.  

 

 

Still, more quiet rooms can benefit from these too. Sometimes all you need is a light that does its job well, without all the fuss. If that sounds like something you prefer, then consider getting a flush mount ceiling light instead. 

 

Semi-Flush Mount Ceiling Lights

Compared to flush mount ceiling lights, semi-flush mount lights are more decorative and use up more space. To tell one from the other, you just have to check how far the light extends: a semi-flush will dangle a bit below the ceiling while a flush is stuck on the right to it. 

 

 

These semi-flush mount ceiling lights come in different forms: glass, fabric, metal, and crystal are some of the most popular. The best bedroom ceiling lights are often made with fabric and (frosted) glass—this cushions the brightness of one’s light. 

 

 

Still, bedroom ceiling lights made of glass often also double as decorative pieces. Thus, glass ceiling lights join metal and crystal in exuding elegance and style that can fit any room they are in.

Light up a room with style

Let your ceiling light be a bright spot in your home. With a ceiling light from IKEA, you can light a room with style. Whether you’re looking for a low hanging chandelier, an intricately designed pendant lamp or a ceiling track of spotlights, you’ll find plenty to choose from in our range.

Ceiling lights as a general light source

When choosing a ceiling light, the first question you need to answer is what it’s going to be used for.

As a general light source, a semi-flush, pendant light or chandelier located near the centre of the room can be a good choice. If you want to highlight a part of your décor, a ceiling track with spotlights might do the trick. If you’re looking to light a workspace, such as a desk or a kitchen island – consider a flush ceiling light located directly above the work area. 

The right ceiling light for the right room

The second question is which room you’re lighting, and what you’re doing in the room.

In some rooms, it’s a good idea to prioritize bright, practical lighting. For example, you might want a bright ceiling light in the hallway to easily find everything you need before leaving the house. Your bathroom might also benefit from bright, clinical lighting for shaving or applying makeup in the morning.

Other rooms, such as a living room or children’s room, are multi-purpose. You might want to have bright general lighting when entertaining guests in the living room, or when playing in the children’s room. But once the guests leave and bedtime comes around, you might want to switch to softer mood lighting. In these rooms, a ceiling light with a dimmer can come in handy.

Remember to mind your head!

Our ceiling light collection has something for every kind of room. But before you decide, you should consider the height of your ceilings.

If you have particularly low ceilings, a pendant or modern chandelier could prove to be a bit of an obstacle. If so, look for flush ceiling lights, LED spotlights, or recessed lighting, so you don’t risk bumping your head. 

If you do have a high ceiling, however, our pendant lamps and shades are a great place to start. We have pendant lamps and shades available in various different designs, letting you express your individual style.

Ceiling lights as interior design

Decorating with light can be a tricky, but fun challenge. You need to consider both the direction and intensity of the light, since each light source is going to affect the mood of the room. And, since nothing draws attention quite like a source of light, it doesn’t hurt if the lamp is looking gorgeous as well.

If you want to take your lighting design to the next level, make sure to also check out our decorative lighting, integrated lighting and smart lighting products.

chandeliers, expert instructions, lamps, supplementary lighting

Nowadays, ceiling lights for the bedroom are characterized not only by their practical function, but they can also act as an independent element of the interior of the room or set the mood for the whole atmosphere of the room. It is quite obvious that designers are trying in every possible way to beat modern varieties of lamps and create an unforgettable style in the bedroom with their help.

Choosing lighting fixtures for our bedroom

The choice of ceiling lights is not an easy task, this part of the apartment or house needs special lighting, which would be characterized by a certain muffled and softness. In order to achieve the desired effect, the room can be supplemented with neat built-in lights, or take care of the wiring of LED lighting.

Chandelier for the bedroom

In the case when the lighting in the room includes several components, care must be taken that such a lighting system is symmetrical. First of all, recessed LED spotlights require such an approach to their design. It will be nice if they are from the same collection, but at the same time they would differ in size. Playing with ceiling lights, you can not only get a unique interior, but also please yourself with an imitation of the "starry sky". nine0003

A chandelier as an integral element of the bedroom atmosphere

Whatever new trends designers come up with, the lighting of the ceiling in the bedroom will not be complete without the use of a chandelier. It is she, along with other lighting fixtures, who is responsible for creating a certain level of lighting, shaping the design and overall image of the entire room.

Depending on the design of the chandelier, it can play a central role in the whole design. The fact is that not the most spacious room is allocated for the bedrooms, where, due to limited space, all creative impulses in terms of design have to be minimized. nine0003

So, it becomes obvious that a chandelier, first of all, should be visually attractive, and only after that be functional. Therefore, when choosing lamps of this type, it is necessary to do it taking into account the following tips:

Sufficient lighting in the bedroom

It would seem that the types of ceiling lamps allow you to choose the best option for your bedroom in a short time, but just their wide range creates a lot of problems for consumers: they begin to get lost in the nuances that invariably accompany the purchase of a particular device.

Expert help in choosing a chandelier

Before you go to the ceiling lamps shop to buy a chandelier, you should think about what functions it will have to perform in the future. If you can give yourself an answer on exactly what kind of lamps your dream chandelier should have (maybe you like LED ones) and how many, choosing the right model will not take you too much time. nine0003

Turning to the functionality (in other words, a set of lamps), we can say that the ceiling lamps for the bedroom have the following options:

Incandescent lamp for a chandelier

  1. Incandescent lamps. Currently, such lamps are gradually losing popularity among consumers, they are being replaced by new, much more economical and efficient counterparts, like, say, fluorescent lamps. Be that as it may, but most of us stubbornly prefer classic incandescent lamps, motivating this by the fact that in this case it is possible to achieve softer illumination of the ceiling in the bedroom; nine0024
  2. Halogen lamps. When designing lighting in the bedroom, masters rarely use "halogen", despite the fact that such lamps are among the most effective. The fact is that halogen ceiling lights are characterized by "cold" light, which is not the best suited not only for the bedroom, but in general for living quarters;
  3. LEDs. LED bulbs are rightfully considered the most economical, and the light they produce will appeal to every consumer. The only drawback of such lamps is their cost, in addition, chandeliers designed exclusively for LEDs are extremely rare; nine0024
  4. Fluorescent lamps. Such lamps are more economical varieties of ceiling lighting fixtures than the same incandescent lamps. But such lamps in many ways lose to their classical counterparts in terms of the warmth of the light spectrum. In view of the fact that such lamps produce a rather cold light, it is recommended to compensate for it in the bedroom with a lampshade, or purchase finished products with a diffuser that will help reflect light from the ceiling surface. nine0024

It is also worth paying attention to the fact that your interest should be the power of the lamps. This indicator is the total power of all the light bulbs that this or that type of chandelier is equipped with.

Recently, many people have been striving to decorate their room with suspended ceilings. In order to dilute the canvas, you can use spotlights that will not only please with uniform light, but will also be able to direct their light to a specific place in the room (“halogen” is distinguished by the presence of movable fittings). nine0003

Auxiliary light sources in the bedroom

Even if we take into account that the types of ceiling lights on the market are very diverse, just because of their presence in the attention of a huge selection of chandeliers on the market, it should be noted that you can play with lighting the ceiling in the bedroom with the help of other fixtures:

Dramatic lighting for the bedroom

Once you have decided on the right lighting option, you should also think about how to create some dramatic effects in the lighting of this cozy apartment or house. Paying attention to the variety of available fixtures, it becomes obvious that such a task will not be difficult for fluorescent lamps, they can illuminate both the ceiling and any other component of the decor. For example, the head of the bed can be decorated with a niche, and its illumination can be done with overhead light bulbs. nine0003

Touching upon the subject of highlighting certain elements of the bedroom decor, let's add that small lamps will look great near paintings, mirrors or wall panels. Installation of lamps is carried out not only in the walls, but even in the floor, due to which it will be possible to divide the room into zones of different functions.

As a rule, decorative lighting in the bedroom is masked by plasterboard structures, stretch fabric or unique stained-glass ceiling windows. By the way, a stained-glass ceiling, complemented by lighting, can play the role of a bright accent in the entire bedroom. nine0003

Proper bedroom lighting. Article with examples.

Correct bedroom lighting is one of the most important part of the decor of this intimate area. The lighting design of the bedroom should be thought out to the smallest detail, and in this article we are happy to share some recommendations for the lighting design of this sacred room and about what types of bedroom lamps exist.


What should be the chandelier in the bedroom?

Oh, who among us does not wake up every day with the thought of how much we want to be home again and plunge into the realm of Morpheus? The stresses of the day, anxiety, fatigue are best treated by a good healthy sleep in a cozy and appropriate bedroom, the atmosphere of which should be soothing and conducive to relaxation. The phrase “there is never too much light” is not about the bedroom at all. Exactly where you sleep, bright lighting is not required. In the evening, we need to get as little eye strain as possible, and in the morning you are unlikely to be able to get up “on the wrong foot” if, upon awakening, bright rays of light hit your eyes sharply. nine0003

The best option is bedroom lighting with evenly distributed diffused beams of light reflected from the ceiling. So the first thing that in any case, the owners of more or less spacious bedrooms will have to do is to install a suitable ceiling lamp for general lighting, which does not create deep shadows, sharp edges in the transition of light, annoying light spots and glare. Under the ceiling, in our case, there is no place at all for a pompous crystal chandelier with twelve horns or a mysterious futuristic jellyfish lamp equipped with a round dance of numerous halogen lamps. A soft glow and optimal dispersion is achieved thanks to the presence of a shade made of opaque frosted or even milky glass or a textile lampshade in neutral pastel colors that create a nice cozy atmosphere, or even in a dark purple or black version, which evokes some mystery and romantic flair. nine0003

Now, designers and owners of rooms with low ceilings (below 2.4 m) are especially popular with unusual ceiling chandeliers-screens with a textile fabric that hides light sources - energy-saving lamps. There are a lot of colors and variations of screen prints. They are quite easy to remove, wash and, if necessary, replace. Also, with low ceilings, a good solution would be to replace the ceiling chandelier with wall lights or recessed aluminum profiles with LED strip inside, which are quite suitable for creating a common small bedroom lighting.

To be honest, there are still ardent adherents of chic and brilliance in everything, and the mission is to convince them that excessive glossy pretentiousness is not an option for the bedroom, it is simply impossible. If you are one of them and your bedroom is decorated with Italian chandeliers with a transparent diffuser or an abundance of sparkling pendants, we hope that it has at least 5-6 cartridges in it and we strongly recommend using low-power lamps in frosted glass bulbs (for example, if incandescent lamps , then up to 25 W). Well, we consider it important to recall that if square meters allow you to put a bed or hang a chandelier so that it does not hang directly above it or for the most part, take this opportunity. Firstly, some people are psychologically very "strained" when something fragile or bulky hangs right above them. And secondly, it is elementary for security reasons. nine0003

How to choose a headboard sconce

The second eternal question related to the task of creating competent lighting in the bedroom concerns lighting from tin bed . In the bedroom, many of us prefer not to immediately fall into the arms of bliss, but first read a book or a tabloid, the fair sex is not averse to doing embroidery or knitting for the coming night. Sconces, decorative table lamps or floor lamps can serve as sources of local lighting intended for these purposes. For those who hurried up and made the conclusions of the wires for the sconce, but did not provide a switch for them, a sconce with a switch would be an excellent solution. Wall lamps are placed in pairs at the same level parallel to each other above the head of the bed or slightly further from its corners. The distance from the sconce to the floor varies between 1.1-1.7 m, but turning to the search for a specific height of their correct location relative to the floor, you, alas, cannot find the right answer in the vastness of the World Wide Web. Someone recommends a height of 1.2 m, somewhere the optimal distance is 1.7 m. BUT! given the fabulous variety of bed designs and the fantastic variety of (WARNING!) bed heights, it is IMPOSSIBLE to state any uniform standards for different models. The location will depend not only on the height of the bed, but also on the usual position: someone reads while sitting, and some naughty aunts and uncles neglect the orders of doctors and do it reclining. To reduce the risk of damage to your eyesight and just make the process of getting ready for bed more comfortable, you should install the sconces in such a way that the light falls at an angle to fully illuminate your “working” area, and at the same time does not interfere with the person resting in the neighborhood. By the way, do not forget that when using incandescent lamps in a lamp, the device becomes a source of not only light, but also heat, so either give up the outdated "Ilyich's bulbs" or do not place the sconces in close proximity to your head. nine0003

Recently, bedtime reading lovers are increasingly installing lamps equipped with additional bulbs on flexible legs or independent lamps of a similar plan. With their help, you can create the necessary angle and direct the light where it is most needed. So, to the delight of our eyes, factories began to mass-produce sconces with textile lampshades on mobile folding or swivel arms. In appearance, they look more like table lamps, but they are mounted on the wall and save space, allowing you to fully manage the space of bedside tables. And the laces-"jerkers" allow you to turn on and off such sconces with a flick of the wrist. nine0003

Table lamps and floor lamps in the bedroom. Well, since we are talking about bedside tables, it's time to pay attention to decorative table lamps. They perfectly perform the function of local illumination of the bedside area, they make it easier to find something in the bedside table, get ready for bed, they perfectly complement the style ensemble of the room, but as for readability, here you need to be more careful when choosing such lamps. Understand a simple rule: the smaller the actual height of the bedside lamp, the higher the bedside table should be. This is important to create the correct angle and area of ​​illumination for your reading area. nine0003

When purchasing a low lamp with a small lampshade, the maximum that you illuminate is the surface of the bedside table, but the edge of the bed and the pillow area will remain in the shade. And speeches about how to read in a normal position, and not curled up on one side, in general, in this case, cannot go. Well, the reverse situation: put on both sides of the bed lamps with sweeping lampshades on high legs or on a cabinet above the level of the bed, in working condition the lamps directed rays of light will go far beyond your half of the bed, and when reading you will obviously interfere with your spouse and , besides, the brightness of the light may not be enough. Fans of spherical lamps made of frosted polycarbonate or glass have to be disappointed, they perfectly cope with the role of nightlights, but you can’t use them to spend time in tandem with your favorite AiF - ruin your eyesight. Why? Because such lamps create too diffused soft light, and we need a more directional one. In addition, they are usually quite low. nine0003

As for floor lighting fixtures - floor lamps, there are several ways to use them within the sleepy kingdom. But just not for reading with the placement of a floor lamp directly at the head. At night, you can drop a floor lamp easily and naturally. A good solution would be to use a floor lamp as an auxiliary light source, for example, to watch TV. But still, floor lamps are ideal companions for armchairs and other soft areas, which owners of spacious bedrooms often find a place in a corner. nine0003

Preparing material on this topic, we could not help but pay attention to the trend of using a pair of hangers above the pedestals. Compliance with the golden mean, in which one could do one’s favorite thing before going to bed without harming one’s eyesight, and, at the same time, it is very difficult to get an original and beautiful design of the bedside area. Look through most design projects: as a rule, miniature lamps or hanging lanterns are suspended according to the idea, corresponding to the general design idea and carrying more decorative functions or replacing general lighting. Although it is possible that you will still pick up “your” pendants, which by placing them at the level of the intended sconces, you will not only solve the problem of the original design, but also get a completely worthy replacement for the above bedside lamps. nine0003

Comfortable little things in the bedroom


And finally, it would be very ugly of us not to remind you of the wonderful modern technologies in the field of lighting that make our lives more comfortable. We are talking about dimming lamps in fixtures.
