Bedroom Lighting
Your bedroom is your escape from the world, where you go to get away from it all and enjoy a good night’s sleep or at least an hour or two of relaxation. At Hermitage in Nashville, we love helping people find new bedroom lighting, whether they’re shopping for a chandelier, wall sconces, or bedside lamps.
If you’re thinking of updating your bedroom lights, or you’re building a brand new home and want to see what your lighting options are, visit our showroom or browse our online catalog today. We know you’ll find fixtures that match your tastes and fit your budget!
AMBIENT LIGHTING
Ambient lighting refers to the general light sources in a room, and in the bedroom, these are often ceiling fixtures. These fixtures can be flush mount lights, ceiling fans, chandeliers, and more, but what’s most important is that you have enough ambient light for the entire space. Depending on the size and shape of your bedroom, you may need multiple ambient fixtures, or perhaps one large fixture in the middle of the room.
In terms of fixture style, you have a range of options at your disposal. If you’ve always wanted a grand chandelier in your bedroom, our team can help you find the perfect fixture. If you want to install a new ceiling fan for lighting and airflow, we can show you a number of possibilities that will look great in your home.
ACCENT LIGHTING
While the ambient lighting covers the majority of the bedroom, it’s not only the light source within the space. Every bedroom needs the right accent lighting, whether that’s a floor lamp or wall sconces. The right accent lights can make a room feel more intimate, as they highlight and accentuate the design features, such as a certain wall color, or brighten a corner that otherwise feels too dark.
Lamps and sconces are often the most popular accent light fixtures for a bedroom, but don’t be afraid to think outside of the box. Small pendants and track lights can also function as accent lighting, and you can place them wherever you want in your bedroom.
TASK LIGHTING
When you think of task lighting for the bedroom, you likely think of one fixture — the bedside lamp. These lamps are the lights you use when you read before bed, as you watch TV before turning in for the night, and as the lone light source when getting up early in the morning. You may use these lamps more than any other lights in the bedroom, so it’s important to choose the right ones.
Some homeowners even start their bedroom lighting updates with the bedside lamps. You can choose from a variety of traditional table lamps, or you can go with wall lamps or swing arm lamps that sit just above the bed. Whichever you choose, it’s important to have lamps that you know you’ll enjoy using every day for years to come.
THE MASTER BATHROOM
For many people, the master bedroom is the main focus when it comes to finding new bedroom lighting. After all, this is the biggest bedroom in the house, and it’s the one you’ve furnished and decorated how you want, so why not have the perfect lighting for it? At Hermitage, we can show you outstanding fixture options for your master suite.
You can start with the main ambient light for the room. Do you want a chandelier, a pendant, or a ceiling fan? Do you want to add recessed lights around the perimeter of the room for extra ambient lighting? If you have a tall or vaulted ceiling in the master bedroom, you can consider how far down a fixture will need to hang in order to illuminate the room adequately.
From there, you can select your accent and task lights. Sconces can be an ideal choice, especially if you place them on dimmers that allow you to raise and lower the lights as needed. Your bedside lamps can match the ambient and accent fixtures around the room, and you’ll have the perfect task lighting for reading or scrolling through social media before bed.
THE GUEST BEDROOM
Your guest room doesn’t get used every day of the year, but you still want it to have the right lighting for when you do have company. This bedroom will likely be smaller than the master bedroom, but you can take a similar approach to updating its lighting.
Start by adding an appropriate ambient light to the ceiling. This might be a flush or semi-flush fixture, or perhaps a ceiling fan for those warm Tennessee summers. From there, you can add floor lamps and table lamps for accent and task lighting, especially if you feel the room doesn’t have the wall space for sconces. Ultimately, you want your guest room lighting to be easy to use and versatile enough so that your guests feel right at home whenever they visit.
KIDS' BEDROOM LIGHTING
It can be challenging to find lighting for a child’s bedroom, especially because they grow up so fast and their needs and tastes change. When they’re little, they might have a certain style or theme of lighting that fits a kid’s room, but as they grow, those lights will need to be updated and changed.
You can add a bedside lamp for story time once they reach a certain age, and you’ll want to make sure they have the proper lighting for homework once they’re in school. As they approach their teenage years, they may want lighting that’s a bit more modern and sophisticated. This can be a great time to update the lighting, especially as you think about what you might want to use the bedroom for once your child is no longer living at home. It could become a guest room, or you might turn it into your home office or home theater, and having newer lighting can help with that transition.
NEW LIGHTING CONTROLS
Once you’ve found new lighting for your master bedroom, guest room, or kids’ rooms, you’ll want to make sure you have the appropriate lighting controls. Switches, dimmers, and more can be integrated into each for maximum control, comfort, and versatility. Dimmers are great for when you want to keep the lights low as you unwind at the end of a long day, and having each light or set of lights on its own switch lets you decide which fixtures are on and which ones are off.
If you’re interested in smart lighting controls for the bedrooms in your home, we can help with those as well. Perhaps you want lights that you can control with your smartphone or your voice, and we can show you what’s available in terms of home automation.
