Bedroom Ceiling Lights

Illuminate your space: how to choose the perfect hanging lamp for your bedroom

Key criteria for choosing a hanging lamp for your bedroom

Before you start your search, it’s important to consider several factors to choose the bedroom ceiling light suitable for your needs and style. Here are some key criteria:

• Dimension: the size of the suspension should be proportional to that of the room and surrounding furniture. For example, a large pendant can visually dominate a small room, while a model that’s too small runs the risk of going unnoticed.
• Height: The height of the suspension must be adapted to that of the ceiling and take into account the passageway under the luminaire. A general rule is to maintain a minimum height of 2 meters between the floor and the bottom of the suspension.
• Style: The style of the suspension must harmonize with that of your interior decoration. There’s a wide range of styles available, from classic to contemporary, vintage and bohemian.
• Material: The choice of material will influence the overall appearance and durability of your suspension. Commonly used materials include metal, wood, glass, fabric and natural fibers.

Hanging fixtures for every space: from adult sanctuary to children’s cave

Hanging lamps for adult bedrooms: elegance and functionality

For an adult bedroom, favor pendant lights with clean design and sober lines. Materials such as metal, wood or glass will bring a touch of elegance and refinement to your space. Models with fabric shades will diffuse a soft, warm light, ideal for creating an atmosphere conducive to relaxation.

Suspensions for children’s bedrooms: playful and safe

In a children’s bedroom, bet on suspensions with fun, colorful patterns that will stimulate your little ones’ imagination. Opt for models made of sturdy, easy-to-clean materials, such as plastic or painted metal, like this round colorful children’s pendant light. Also make sure you choose a light that complies with safety standards to avoid any risk of accident.

Suspensions for baby’s room: softness and serenity

To brighten up your baby’s room, opt for pendant lights in soft, soothing colors like beige or light gray. Cloud- or star-shaped models are particularly well-suited to creating a magical atmosphere conducive to sleep. Opt for variable-intensity lighting to adapt the lighting ambience to your child’s needs.

Today’s trends: ceiling light for the bedroom

Macramé, rattan or raffia pendant lights are currently very much in vogue, bringing a natural, bohemian touch to your interior. Geometric designs in black or gold metal fit perfectly into a modern, minimalist decor. Finally, ceramic or blown glass pendant lights add a touch of originality and craftsmanship to your space.

How to install and fix a hanging lamp in your bedroom

Hanging installation: a step-by-step guide

Switch off the power supply to the room. Remove the old light fixture, if necessary. Assemble the new pendant according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Fix the mounting bracket to the ceiling, making sure it’s secure. Connect the electrical wires from the pendant to the corresponding wires on the ceiling (usually blue with blue and brown with brown). Install the appropriate bulb, then replace the lampshade or other decorative element. Switch the power supply back on and test your new pendant.

Installation precautions: safety first

• Make sure the electrical cable is long enough to support the weight of the suspension.
• Use screws and plugs suited to the nature of your ceiling (plaster, concrete, wood).
• If you’re unsure of your electrical skills, call in a professional.
