Types of Bedroom Lighting
Architect Stephanie Esposito, from Studio 19 Architecture, points out the most used types of lighting for bedrooms and their advantages:
General Lighting
About the general lighting of the room, Stephanie says: "we have to pay special attention, because the bedroom is an environment where people usually lie down, so very specific lighting fixtures end up blinding the view." Thus, the architect recommends " plafons with indirect light or even spots With direct light, just above the headboard."
Illumination for reading
For a support or reading lighting, the professional indicates the use of "pendants or sconces on the sides". These types are compact and great for small or double rooms. She also highlights that "besides being functional, they are very charming".

To provide a more relaxing environment and make the room cozier, Stephanie suggests a softer light source and cites "LEDs behind the headboard, or in some paneling, illuminated curtains and lampshades are good options for indirect light and very comfortable.
Stephanie also emphasizes the importance of thinking about a luminotechnical project for the different uses of the environment. She also points out that for residential spaces, the indicated color temperature is "3000K, which means warm white.

The architect also points out practical tips to help when designing lighting for the resting space, see:
- Articulated sconces: the architect recommends the use of this type of sconce, because "they allow you to focus on the books or even turn to the ceiling and create an indirect lighting point".
- Deflector lamps: "for bedside pendants, deflector lamps are an excellent option, because they have a mirror layer on the underside that avoids blinding the view when lying down," Stepanie advises.
- Tubular bulb : For curtain or ceiling lighting, the professional recommends the use of tubular bulbs instead of LED strips and explains that "it emits light almost all around, leaving softer lighting, not so marked and with shadows.
- LED strip: "To avoid those little dots showing up, bet on acrylic profiles that make the lighting more diffuse," says Stephanie.
- Floodlights or spotlights: She recommends larger diameters, from 50 to 60 cm, and that they be positioned in a centralized way with the bed.
- Pending: the architect suggests the use of pendants centralized in the room that throw the light to the ceiling, thus "illuminating in a general and indirect way".
- Lampshades: "use bulb up to the equivalent of 40W and prefer domes that completely hide the light source, so that the lighting is diffused," Stephanie indicates.
- RGB lamps: the architect points out that this type is very interesting for bedrooms, "because they allow you to work chromotherapy and illuminate with different colors."
- Automation: according to the professional, this "is a cool tip to leave the scenes, reading, relaxing, watching tv..., already defined and coordinate everything from the cell phone".
- Independent circuits: Stephanie points out that it is important to place it on each side of the bed, especially in double rooms, so that "each person can turn on the light without disturbing the other.
