Ceiling lamp variety for the bedroom

The best way to achieve sufficiently bright general lighting for getting dressed, hoovering or making the bed is with a ceiling light for the bedroom. From simple LED panels and spotlights to cosy-looking shades, there are no limits to the ideas. In addition to wood, metal and textiles, renewable raw materials such as bamboo and rattan are also used. Tip: A fan with light provides fresh air in summer and saves heating costs in winter.

Hanging lamps for the bedroom

The bedside lamp has earned its place of honour next to the bed, but there are creative and space-saving alternatives: Why not install a pendant light at head height and enjoy your evening novel in its glow? This means the bedside table can remain free for smartphones, radios, etc.

Cosy flair with wall lamps

Bedroom lighting is an extremely personal matter. Because in this room you can relax and unwind at the end of the day. Wall lamps at the head of the bed can contribute greatly to the relaxation concept in a design with restrained colours, textiles or natural materials. They also save space, as the bedside table does not have to be kept free for a light.

The classic: bedroom bedside lamps

Bedroom bedside lamps modern or retro - the choice is multi-faceted. Table lamps for the bedroom in styles ranging from boho chic to coastal flair are popular. The main thing is to convey cosiness! And this is easy to achieve with three basic rules: Avoid glare, opt for translucent shades and indirect light and favour dimmable models. In our Table lamp guide you can find out even more interesting facts about the benefits of table lamps.

Bedroom floor lamps for a personalised touch

Even if floor lamps to illuminate the headboard are not the first obvious idea, they bring variety and modern vibes to the lighting concept for the bedroom. From dynamic, filigree lines, which are possible thanks to permanently installed LED technology, to swivelling and adjustable frames that support timeless spotlights, to cosy boho lights made of natural materials, everything is possible. Depending on taste and requirements, functional or decorative models are available.

Night lights for better orientation

As soon as a toe sticks out of the bed, the light comes on! This is possible with small night lights, which are fitted under or around the bed and react to movements in the detection area thanks to a sensor. This means you don't have to feel for the light switch when you go to the bathroom. Also practical: portable nightlights with a twilight sensor and rechargeable battery that can be taken wherever they are needed. Favourite for kids: Night lights with animal and mythical creature motifs.


Good to know: Lighting tips for the bedroom

Indirect light ... ... for more cosiness

Making the immediate surroundings around the bed even cosier - this is best achieved with indirect light, which can also be dimmed. All in a warm white light colour, of course. You can find tips for cosy bed lighting, from LED strips to shelf lights, in our Lighting ideas for the bedroom.

Smart lighting technology ... ... around the bed

A bedroom lamp that can be controlled by smartphone or voice assistant brings comfort and ambience to the relaxation rooms. You can find tips for activating light in the morning and calming light in the evening in our HCL guide. Our guide to smart retrofitting shows you how to make lights smart.

The most suitable styles ... ... for more romance

For bedroom lighting, the focus is on cosiness: from Scandi style with simple colours and natural materials to oriental chic for an extra dose of romance and country house chic, the choice is huge. Also popular: the playful vintage style or the art deco ambience characterised by gold tones, velvet & co.

Cult luminaires ... ... in timeless designs

Anyone who is enthusiastic about high-quality designer lights is well advised to choose evergreens from the creative pens of famous design icons. These lights once again emphasise individuality and are timeless purchases for life: from the classic bedside lamp with touch dimmer to the unusual wall lamp.

Expert tip: When the luminaire becomes a shelf

Lights with additional functions bring comfort and variety to bedrooms. A shelf light, for example, which emits cosy light and at the same time offers space to place your mobile phone and charge it via induction or USB, is a design highlight. The floor lamp with shelf is a bedside table and reading lamp in one, while the illuminated coat rack looks great next to the bedroom door to keep your bathrobe and other items to hand.
