What type of light fixture for a bedroom?

A bedroom is lit with three families: a pendant on the ceiling for general light, a wall light or adjustable spotlight on the wall for reading in bed, a floor lamp or table lamp for the relaxation corner. In this selection, all models are IP20, with E27, E14, G9 or GU10 sockets.

Adult bedroom lighting

Start from use, not style. The E27 socket dominates the selection: it accepts a dimmable bulb and suits both a pendant and a floor lamp. To set up an adult bedroom, plan for a general point on the ceiling and a targeted point on each side of the bed.

Children's bedroom lighting

Stick to a warm white and adjustable intensity, to go from soft light to reading light. A wall light or a single-socket pendant is enough, the light stays targeted. The baby bedroom lighting selection follows these format and shade criteria.

What are the ideas for bedroom lighting?

On the ideas side: a multi-light glass pendant above the bed, a rattan and wood pendant for a warm bedroom, a wooden and metal ball wall light on the headboard, a golden metal ball lamp on the bedside table, or a fabric arc floor lamp for reading in an armchair.

Teen bedroom lighting

For a teenage girl's bedroom, a ball shape placed on a piece of furniture or suspended changes the whole wall. The ball lamp comes in gold, pink, silver or black, and an adjustable cable lets you lower it above a desk. A dimmable model avoids harsh light before bedtime.

Designer bedroom lighting

Today's bedroom chandeliers often take the form of a four or six-light pendant in opal or graphite glass, which draws a pattern on the ceiling. The Liana rattan pendant plays a different, warmer register, with its 30, 35, 45 or 60 cm diameter depending on the version.

What light and what power to choose for a bedroom?

For sleeping and reading, aim for a warm white of 2700 to 3500 K, the most represented shade in this selection. Powers range from 8 W to 40 W depending on the models, with a majority in LED. The dimmer, possible on part of the collection, lets you lower the intensity in the evening.

Warm white or cool white in a bedroom?

Warm white (2700 to 3500 K) accompanies rest and reading in bed. Cool white (4500 to 6500 K) remains useful for targeted lighting, in a dressing room for example, but is tiring as general light. An LED bulb in a bedroom heats little and is easily adjusted: see the LED models.

What wattage for a bedroom?

The powers in the selection vary according to the models and the use they are intended for. An 8 W G9 wall light is enough for a bedside or a hallway; reserve 40 W for floor lamps and pendants that must hold the entire room.

Where to install light in a bedroom: ceiling, wall or bedside?

On the ceiling, the pendant provides general light; on the wall, the wall light or adjustable spotlight frees the bedside table and is used to read without lighting the whole bed. A compact wall light 10 cm high also suits the dressing room or the adjoining hallway. These dry interior spaces remain IP20.

Bedroom lighting: ceiling or wall?

A bedroom of 12 to 15 m² is satisfied with one point on the ceiling and two points on the wall, one on each side of the bed. Without ceiling space, wall lights take over. The Rian wall light combines a 10 cm format, a G9 socket, a dimmer and two white temperatures.

How to light the bedside without cluttering the bedside table?

Place the light point on the wall, at shoulder height when seated, to read without cast shadow. The Fusion Élégante wall light measures 16 x 20 cm, in wood and black. The black adjustable spotlight, 16 cm high and 20 cm deep with an E14 socket, can also be fixed to the wall or ceiling and directed towards the book.

How to match material and colour with the bedroom style?

Metal dominates the selection, often in black, sometimes in gold: clean lines and marked contrast. Wood and rattan soften the whole, glass diffuses light widely, fabric filters it. A black model on light walls structures the room, a gold or beige model warms it.

Black or gold bedroom lighting?

Black dominates the selection, gold remains a minority, on metal or iron structures. On a light wall, a dark piece draws a clean line. Black lights structure a light interior. Gold models warm a bedroom with neutral tones, like the Sphea lamp on its bedside table.

Wood, rattan, glass or fabric: what light rendering?

Glass lets light through on the sides, fabric filters it and softens the rendering, wood and rattan bring a natural shade. A glass light brightens a dark corner, where a fabric shade gives a lower and softer light.

A bedroom light that also lights the living room or dining room?

Many models in this selection are also suitable for the living room and dining room. A multi-light glass pendant or a fabric and metal arc floor lamp can be placed in both rooms, which allows you to match the lighting of an open living area onto the bedroom.

Original living room lighting

For an original living room light, look for the shape before the colour: globe, tube, arc or ball. A six-light pendant in graphite glass, or a gold ball pendant with dimmer, stand out from classic ceiling lights. Find these pieces in the living room lights.

Pendant above the table: which model?

Above a table, the pendant hangs low and lights the surface rather than the room. A pendant light with four or six lights in opal glass suits a rectangular table. The GU10 version Kibo 4, in white and gold metal, matches a round table. The dining room light gathers these formats.

What light for a hallway, a WC or a dressing room?

These rooms require a compact and wall-mounted model: a metal wall light about 10 cm high is installed in a hallway, a staircase, a dressing room or a toilet. Like the bedroom, these spaces in the selection are IP20, therefore reserved for a dry interior.

Lighting for WC and toilets

An 8 W G9 socket is enough in a toilet: the light is targeted downwards and does not dazzle. The Kido wall light measures 10 cm high and comes in black or grey, for a staircase, an entrance or a dressing room. Our home lighting department covers these small wall formats.

Hallway light: what format?

In a narrow hallway, a wall light avoids lowering the ceiling height. A round pendant 32 cm in diameter, 16 cm shade, 110 cm adjustable cable and a 10 cm base, like the Selka, finds its place there. Hallway lighting brings together these models.

How to install and maintain a bedroom light?

Cut the power before any intervention and identify the socket type, E27, E14, G9 or GU10. A pendant with adjustable cable, like the Selka and its 110 cm cable, can be shortened to adjust the height. For a homemade assembly, stick to a socket and cable intended for a dry interior.

How to make a hanging light?

You need a socket, a cable of suitable cross-section, a base and a shade. Identifying the wires and tightening the connections matter more than the choice of shade. If you prefer a clean result, a pendant already assembled with adjustable cable avoids DIY.

How to adjust the height of a pendant?

Above a table, generally allow 70 to 80 cm between the shade and the tabletop; in a bedroom, raise to around 2 m from the floor so as not to hinder movement. The ceiling base, often 10 cm, must remain on a flat surface. For maintenance, dust dry, without abrasive product on glass or metal.

Where to find a lighting store and how does ordering work?

The selection can be viewed online with secure payment, tracked delivery, returns and Designix customer service to help you choose between E27, E14, G9 or GU10. Each model is guaranteed for 2 years, and the product sheet details dimensions, material and IP20 protection before ordering.

Lighting store in Lyon and delivery

Whether you are looking for a lighting store in Lyon, a lighting clearance in Lyon or a remote order, the product sheet gives the dimensions and socket before purchase. A best lighting store is judged by the precision of this information and the delivery tracking.

Warranty, returns and socket advice

Unsure between two models? Compare the height, diameter and socket, then check if a dimmer is possible. Cheap lights are suitable for a first setup, but the entry level is often limited to a single light point and a single material.

Choose the shape, then the colour, then the socket: that is the order that avoids mistakes. The Talo minimalist floor lamp adjusts to 120 cm or 60 cm high and takes an E27 socket. Browse all our lights to compare dimensions before validating your cart.
