Unconventional Ideas for Bedroom Lighting

Bedside lamps or sconces are the norm in most homes, but space constraints or a flair for drama might lead someone to take a different approach. Here are ten bedrooms that where the “mood lighting” is tasteful, unique, and inspiring.

1. Liz’s bedroom uses globe lights clustered in a corner to add an ethereal quality to the bedroom.
2. Lighting doubles as artwork over the bed in a North London home.
3. A bedroom in Tyler and Sarah’s home repurposes Christmas decorations as out-of-the-ordinary lighting.
4. In Sam’s Sydney home, Tom Dixon’s red Jack Light rests on the floor.
5. A corner pendant in Genevieve and Maxwell’s home provides reading light in a small space.
6. In a Boston home, two simple modern pendants complement the artwork over the bed.
7. A DIY glowing headboard is easy to achieve with rope light and a staple gun.
8. In a tiny apartment, back-lit storage that surrounds the bed makes the room feel larger.
9. A multi-colored chandelier kicks up the style a notch in a traditional home.
10. Two bedside chandeliers add luxury and reading light in Suzi’s Columbus Condo.
