Why bedroom lighting is so important

Our modern bedrooms are not just for sleeping. In fact, the trend has long shifted toward creating an oasis of well-being that allows the body and mind to forget the stress and strains of everyday life. The kind of relaxation we crave in the evening has many faces: enjoying a nice movie night with your partner, reading a good book, sharing the highlights of the day with your better half... in order to enjoy all these activities, of course, you cannot stay in the dark in your sleeping paradise. The right bedroom lighting, on the other hand, will transform your sleeping space into a zone of relaxation where you can unwind to your heart's content. And even during the day, when you use your bedroom as a quiet retreat for a few relaxing hours, the right light source can provide a relaxing flair.

Creating islands of light for a pleasant room atmosphere

How can you create a feel-good atmosphere which invites you to relax? The solution lies in providing a solid basis for your bedroom lighting, which you supplement with bright light islands and less brightly lit zones. While a brightly lit room quickly conjures up a waiting room atmosphere, the sophisticated interplay of light and shadow creates a varied spatial effect. To ensure that your bedroom lighting not only looks cool, but also fits into your modern everyday life, it is a good idea to choose a dimmable lamp for the basic lighting. This provides enough brightness when you want to get dressed in the morning, for example, but can easily be transformed into an atmospheric twilight when it is time for a cuddle in the evening. In addition to the ceiling light, a bedside lamp or floor lamp provide further lighting accents. Here you can also live out your individuality and choose real eye-catchers, for example, a modern color lamp that changes the light color after a while and thus always sets new fascinating accents.

A mix of different lighting elements

Discreet bedside lamps or the spectacular chandelier: a coherent bedroom lighting is composed of different light elements, which optionally help us to relax or provide the necessary extravagance with strong accents. Due to the varying intensity of the lighting, we also recommend a mix of electric and natural light sources. LED lights with their warm light not only create a pleasant atmosphere, but also save energy. It is best to try out different types of light sources to find out which one not only fits well with the chosen luminaire, but also creates an ideal effect in the room. Especially when there is less daylight in the fall and winter months, we long for other natural light sources to compensate for this lack of natural light. The dancing flame of a candle or the warm glow of a fireplace are a true blessing for our soul and at the same time transport an atmosphere of romantic cosiness. Scented candles, which exude a wonderful scent of vanilla, lavender or sandalwood, are particularly good for relaxation. For those who find open candlelight too dangerous due to their animal roommates or a small child in the household, you can use fairy lights as an alternative bedroom lighting. Extra tip: Your choice of wall color is also crucial to the atmosphere in your bedroom. Dark colors absorb light, while white makes your room seem brighter.

Modern solutions for your bedroom lighting

In a modern bedroom, contemporary and flexible solutions offer even more comfort. For example, our ingenious underfloor lighting proves that light does not always have to come from above. This modern lighting element, which can be activated by foot switch or radio control, provides a soft, discreet light that immediately creates an atmosphere of comfort. But our bedroom lighting can do even more: it underlines the certain something of our Swissflex design beds by emphasizing their floating appearance. Underfloor lighting is particularly worthwhile for couples, as one partner can continue to sleep peacefully when the other makes a nightly trip to the bathroom. Our LED reading lights are also flexible, providing pinpoint reading light to one side, allowing undisturbed rest on the other side of the double bed. With our Swissflex bedroom lighting, the phrase "Honey, turn off the light, I can’t sleep!" should therefore soon be a thing of the past.
