As many people are downsizing to smaller homes or just starting out on their own, they have found the master bedroom is small and requires a creative hand in decorating. One area to keep in mind is the types of lighting used to illuminate the space.
In the small master bedroom, the bed is the central point of the room. With small amounts of floor space, it's necessary to minimize how much furniture you place in the room. Instead of using small side tables or floating shelves with lamps, use swing arm wall lamps to free space. A licensed electrician can install the lamps so the wiring is invisible. The swing arm is adjustable, making it perfect for reading in bed. Keep the scale of the lamps appropriate to the size of the room.
In a small bedroom, it is best to use monochromatic colors. Use light colors with light and dark tones of the same color. Of ten the furniture in a small bedroom will need to function for more than one purpose. A large dresser can double as a nightstand or makeup area.
The closet in a small bedroom needs to be organized to be efficient. Modular units provide flexibility in storing everything from sweaters to shoes. The closet colors should be the same as the room. Utilize wall sconces inside the door to light the area.
You might be able to put a small sitting are in your master bedroom close to a window. The chair should be small in size. You can use a small bench or stool as a table for your morning coffee. This might be another good place to install wall sconces.
Most bedrooms use sconces and table lamps by the bed. As discussed earlier, swing arm wall lamps are a better option for the small master bedroom. Another option is to use recessed pot lights on a dimmer for occasional use. For areas where makeup is being applied, install a light bar wall lamp above a mirror.
Lighting can considerably change the effect of a room. Different types of lighting fixtures help you create the mood your wanting to achieve. Wall lamps are necessary to the mood of a small master bedroom. Installed with a dimmer, you can create a soft, romantic ambiance when dimmed or turn it up for more task lighting. Other types that can save space in a small bedroom are can lights, sconces and swivel arm lamps. The swing arm wall lamp is great as a task lamp. You can extend the arm and swing it in the direction you need for illuminating activities like playing cards or reading in a chair.
Using multi-directional lights that are flexible helps achieve a professional finish in your small master bedroom. Smart lighting choices are necessary to give the room the feel you want. Opt for soft light. Use low wattage bulbs in any overhead light, including ceiling fanlights. Use wall sconces to create an atmosphere where soft light comes from different directions. This blurs the edges of your space making the bedroom seem larger.
Even with a small master bedroom to work with, there are many ways to decorate your room with lighting and planning to make the room appear larger.
