Lighting in your bedroom
“Like in any space, bedroom lighting can be broken down into three types: ambient, accent, and task lighting. Each plays a role in shaping the room's mood and functionality.”
When it comes to lighting in the bedroom, the primary goals are to create a restful, serene environment while still providing enough light for daily activities like dressing, reading, or working. The key is to layer lighting so that it suits the room’s various functions without disturbing the calming atmosphere.
Ambient lighting: Soft and restful illumination of your bedroom
Ambient lighting provides the general illumination that makes the space functional. However, it’s important that ambient lighting in a bedroom doesn’t feel too harsh or bright. A bedroom is, first and foremost, a place for rest, so the lighting should be soft, warm, and inviting. Ceiling fixtures, wall-mounted lights, or even recessed lights can work to create this effect, but it’s critical to avoid anything that creates glare or stark shadows.
To enhance the ambient lighting even further, consider using dimmable switches, allowing you to adjust the brightness based on the time of day or your mood. This flexibility is especially useful in a bedroom, where lighting needs can change from bright, functional light in the morning to a soft, intimate glow at night.
Accent lighting: Highlighting and enhancing
Accent lighting in your bedroom helps to create depth and drama by highlighting certain features or areas of the room. Accent lighting is used to draw attention to artwork, architectural details, or even decorative elements like the bed's headboard. It adds a layer of visual interest without overwhelming the space, making it an excellent way to personalize the room.
Tapermoon lights are particularly well-suited for accent lighting in a bedroom. Their intricate, origami-inspired shapes make them works of art in themselves, meaning they can serve as both a light source and a decorative focal point.

Task lighting: Focused and functional
Bedrooms often serve multiple purposes, from dressing areas to reading nooks or even work-from-home spaces. Task lighting is essential here, providing the focused light necessary for activities like reading before bed or applying makeup at a vanity.
While the Tapermoon series excels in ambient and accent lighting, it can also complement task lighting in specific ways. For instance, a Tapermoon fixture placed near a reading chair or dressing table can provide a soft, ambient glow that enhances the task lighting in these zones. Pairing Tapermoon lights with adjustable reading lamps ensures that the room’s atmosphere remains cozy and inviting, even when more direct task lighting is required.
