The bedroom is often the last space we decorate, but it really should be the first. Part of decorating a bedroom, whether it be a master suite or a guest room, is including proper lighting and the right number of light fixtures into the space. Light fixtures are one area where you can easily buy into trends, as trends change a bit slower in lighting than in other areas of home design and decor.
Here are some trendy bedroom lighting ideas that you can incorporate into your bedroom spaces.
Wall Sconces
Wall sconces are a trend that wax and wane every few years or so and currently, they're back in high style. You can find a number of different sizes, shapes and colors of wall sconces, making it easy to incorporate them into your existing bedroom design. Plus, wall sconces are a great solution for bedrooms that feature limited space and cannot necessarily accommodate nightstands and bedside lamps.
Recessed Lights
In a master bedroom or even in a guest room, recessed lights can add a touch of warmth and elegance to the space. These light fixtures not only provide additional necessary light, they can also make the space feel more warm and inviting. In a bedroom space, creating a warm, inviting space is extremely important.
Drum Shades
Any light fixture that features a drum shade is extremely trendy currently. Fortunately, drum shades are also a timeless look thanks to their classic shape and you can easily keep them around for years to come without them feeling dated or drab. The easiest way to bring this trend into your bedroom is to swap out your current lamps' shades with trendy drum shades. Of course, lamps are the only light fixtures that can use drum shades. You can actually find a number of light fixtures that feature drum shades including pendant lights, which can be used in place of table lamps, ceiling fixtures including semi-flush mount fixtures and chandeliers, wall sconces and so forth.
Track Lights
Much like recessed lights, track lights can easily be used in the bedroom. They can bring a touch of warm lighting that make the space feel comfortable and cozy. Plus, track lights can be used to highlight different areas such as a focal point in the room or a piece of wall art.
Dimmer Switches and Other Mood Lighting
Finally, consider adding dimmer switches and other types of mood lighting to your space. Dimmer switches give you ultimate control over your light fixtures and can help cut down on electricity costs every time you turn down the lights. Meanwhile, mood lighting can include the use of colored lights to help give a certain ambience in the space. For example, light fixtures that use colored LED lighting that changes during the day can be extremely beneficial. Red can be used during the evening for a more romantic feel, while blue lights can be used to create a more calm atmosphere. Lighting the bedroom properly is important, as it's your sanctuary in the home. Remember, you can easily invest in certain trends, including drum shades or wall sconces, as they tend to wax and wane in popularity, making them easy to keep around as they'll always come back into style.
