Your bedroom is bright after these tips
The sun sets for some reason, and we’re not trying to get into a scientific dialogue here. But imagine having to fall asleep with bright, fresh sunlight pouring in through your bedroom window and it’s not perfect, is it? Thus, for optimal eye shut-eye, the darker the bedroom, the better, as light has been shown to disrupt the production of melanin in the brain, the hormone responsible for regulating the sleep cycle.
But what if your bedroom is too dark, or doesn’t even get a glint of sunlight during the day? Don’t worry, because a dark bedroom doesn’t have to be a permanent problem in your life any longer!
Let’s focus on some simple tricks and some tricky renovation tips to help remove the gloom from a darkened bedroom and let in some light..
Use more lighting
The first option is the most obvious: If there isn’t enough light in your darkened bedroom, see if you can’t add more! But do not add one small lamp to the table and consider the problem solved. Having a single light source creates a lot of shadows, which can add a creepy ambiance to the space.
Layered lighting is the answer, so brighten your bedroom with at least two—three better light sources. The lamp on your nightstand is a lighted or wall-mounted lamp, at least, and if you share a bed with someone, you’ll need a lamp on each side. If possible, add to this a ceiling lamp – here we recommend a ceiling fan for twice the benefit: a cool breeze for hot summer nights and a brighter bedroom.
For an extra touch of ambiance, place another lamp across the room, preferably on a diagonal, from the bedside light. For extra interest, make this a floor lamp.
Does your ceiling profile allow for a skylight? Then get it! A roof that faces east, west or south will welcome in some extra sunlight.
2- Be smart when choosing colors
Do you think snow white walls are the best choice for a dark bedroom? Think again. While light colors can help a small room appear, they are not great at making a dark room appear brighter. Whites and other tones look soft and cheerful when they reflect light, but there should be enough light for meditation. Otherwise, the white walls will take on a gray undertone, leaving the color muted and boring.
We recommend going for a rich, saturated color paint color for these two walls. You can even go a little bright. In a dark bedroom, this light color will lose some of its brilliance and not show that intensity. Compared to lighter tones, deeper colors do not rely on reflected light to look their best; Thus, strong walls will add color and warmth to the bedroom.
For a relaxed look, enjoy bright, warm shades of green, blue, gray or purple.
3- Flooring has a role
And since bedrooms receive much less traffic than, say, living rooms or kitchens, you can consider going for a lighter colored floor. Paint and fins are both great options for wood paneling. Gentle colors, such as duck egg blue and soft pink, can help reflect light beautifully. And laying a pale rug will beautifully enhance the softness and warmth.
If you’re considering rugs for your dark bedroom, choose a light shade of gray for visual warmth, but keep the color of your walls in mind.
4- Mirrors
Of course a wall mirror is vital to bedrooms, but have you thought about mirroring your wardrobe doors, too? A wardrobe with large panes of glass will give a modern touch and increase the sense of visual space as well as help reflect light.
What about curtains?
When it comes to a darkened bedroom, the last thing you should buy is heavy curtains or window coverings that block out the little allowed sunlight. Alternatively, use sheer blinds on a blind that you can lower for privacy at night. Glue them to light-colored window coverings in white, cream, soft grey, etc. to add some contrast to strong walls.
Beam tip: A simple blackout blind is your other option when fully folded, it allows a maximum amount of light to flood the room. But if you feel your singular blind is too strict, add some softness by hanging sheer curtains as well—it will give your window treatment tangible form and volume.
