Bedroom lighting

Soft, warm light that helps you wind down

Bedrooms want low, warm, glare-free light. Keep bright light away from eye level and give each side of the bed its own control.

How bright?

12

lumens per sq ft (range 8–15)

A typical 11 × 12 ft room needs about 1,580 lm.

What colour?

2200–2700K

Target 2700K

Quick tips

  • Stay at 2700K or warmer in the evening for better sleep.
  • Bedside lamps should sit at shoulder height when you're sitting up in bed.
  • Add a low-level night light for safe midnight trips.

Layers

Three layers make a great room

01

Ambient light

A dimmable central pendant or flush light — no harsh downlights above the bed.

02

Task light

A matched pair of bedside lamps or swing-arm reading lights.

03

Accent light

Sconces or a headboard LED strip for a calm, hotel-style glow.
