Top tips on layering light in the bedroom
1. Introduce some wall lights
When it comes to lighting, wall lights are undoubtedly one of the most simple yet effective additions to any space. For an easy install choose a rechargeable wall light, which won’t require an electrician or the cost of replastering a wall! Honeyed hues and earthy patterns pay homage to the world outside, while shimmers and glimmers of antiqued brass exist to inject warmth and grandeur.
2. Lamps are a very bright idea
Dark and gloomy skies call for go-slow days indoors. Fashion a sumptuous slumber setting with table lamps and floor lamps inspired by the season. From timeless and traditional to chic and contemporary, our lamps exist to elevate your space. No plugs where you need them? No problem – opt for a rechargeable lamp that can be moved around the room, creating a wonderfully warm glow wherever you need it.
The shine and shadows created by each fixture will bring depth and dimension to your room, transforming otherwise flat interiors into indulgent spaces enriched with texture and warmth.
3. Play around with picture lights
For a dreamy space you can’t wait to retreat to, picture lights are an excellent option. Placing fond moments and memories firmly in the spotlight, picture lights will inspire your bedroom with intimacy and identity, all whilst introducing a new, uniquely beautiful light source. As dusk descends, withdraw to the glow of your snug sanctuary and indulge in a well-deserved wind-down surrounded by your favourite memories, warmly glowing.
4. Upgrade your ceiling light
However you feel about the Big Light, by simply exchanging your ceiling light for something new, you can make things all the more magical. Seize the opportunity to experiment with an array of materials and textures and create a beautifully unique space.
