Tips for Bedrooms



  • General lighting can be provided by ceiling fixtures, chandeliers, fan lights, recessed downlights, or wall sconces, giving you the illumination you need to dress and see into drawers and closets.


  • At the dressing table, an adjustable, lighted magnifying mirror will provide ideal lighting for grooming and applying makeup.

  • Inspire romance by dimming all incandescent lighting, using products like our Crystal Décor or halogen bulbs.

  • Use a halogen floor-mounted directional fixture, with a PAR 16 flood lamps to project light through plants from the floor is an excellent way to soften a room with interesting shadows. Place a light behind a large plant or indoor tree and aim it through the leaves toward the ceiling.

  • Break the room into several zones by lighting and switching them separately, then adjust according to the mood you want to set.

  • Provide light for reading by choosing swing-arm or flexible bedside lamps, using Daylight  products, SYLVANIA's Soft White bulb, Double Life lamps or Compact Fluorescent DULUX EL mini twist lamps.  Also, consider a SYLVANIA LED Clamp-on Lamp or Brilliance Desk Lamp.

  • Illuminate artwork over the headboard with ceiling-mounted fixtures placed close to the wall to avoid direct glare.

  • For closets, choose energy-efficient, long-life fluorescent bulbs with very good color, like SYLVANIA Designer fluorescents.
