Bedroom
The bedroom is your personal retreat from the world. Its lighting shouldn't just illuminate the space; it should help you relax, recharge, and rest. The goal is to create a calm sanctuary that prepares you for a great night's sleep.
Bedroom lighting
Bedroom lighting should be designed to create a peaceful and multi-functional environment, supporting everything from waking up in the morning to winding down at night. The most important layer of light is a soft, warm, and dimmable ambient light that sets the overall relaxing mood for the entire room. Beyond this, a bedroom requires effective task lighting. This includes focused reading lights by the bed, which allow one person to read comfortably without disturbing a partner, as well as clear, bright light for wardrobes and closets. Good closet lighting with a high Colour Rendering Index (CRI) is essential for seeing the true colours of your clothes when getting dressed. By placing these different light sources on separate switches, you gain full control over the room's function and atmosphere. This allows you to have bright, practical light when you need it for cleaning or organizing, and a soft, intimate setting when it's time to relax. At SG Armaturen, we provide lighting that helps you create a personal sanctuary that is both beautiful and perfectly functional.

Tips #1
Install dedicated reading lights
Place wall-mounted sconces or small, low-hanging pendants on each side of the bed. They provide focused light directly onto your book without illuminating the whole room, making them ideal for couples.

Tips #2
Light your wardrobe properly
Don't forget the closet. Use ceiling spotlights aimed into the wardrobe or integrated linear lighting inside. Choose a light source with a high CRI to ensure you can see the true colours of your clothes.

Tips #3
Place switches within reach of the bed
Ensure you have switches for the main lights located both at the door and by the bed (often a two-way switch). This simple convenience means you never have to get out of a warm bed to turn off the lights.

Tips #4
Use warm, dimmable light for relaxation
Choose warm-toned light (around 2700K) for your main bedroom fixtures and make sure they are on a dimmer. A soft, warm glow is scientifically proven to be more relaxing and less disruptive to your natural sleep cycle than cool, bright light.
