Embracing a modern bedroom involves more than just hanging artwork on the walls or putting decorative items on some shelves. Lighting is a significant contributing factor to this setup, and nothing says the future is here more than beautiful galaxy lights. With galaxy lights, you can fill your room with twinkling stars, floating clouds, and calming colors to set the perfect nighttime – and below, we’ll help you make it happen.
How to pick the best lights for your modern bedroom
Lights come in so many different styles, colors, and effects that you might feel overwhelmed – where do you even begin? If you’re going the laser light route, you might prefer a laser galaxy projector that you can use anywhere in your room near an electrical outlet. Or maybe you’re looking for a classic light bulb, but with colorful lasers and pretty patterns. Then again, you can always use both together for a truly breathtaking bedroom lighting setup.
No matter the route you go, your lighting choices should be based on both your preferences and your lights’ functionality. Before you purchase your galaxy lights, consider these factors:
- Your room’s size. The size of your room makes a big difference in your lighting choices! Think about it like this: If your room is on the larger side, you’ll probably need more than one fixture to effectively blanket your whole space. For maximum lighting, you can use laser projectors and bulbs that cover ample surface area. Additionally, your room’s size can also help you decide whether to have one or two nightstand table lamps. With two table lamps, you can mix and match colored laser light bulbs and their dazzling starry sky effects.
- Your room’s layout. After factoring in your room’s size, you should also consider its layout. If you’re thinking of adding table lamps for laser light bulbs, make sure you have easy access to outlets. If a larger fixture such as a floor lamp is more your style, figure out where in your room it will look best and provide the most light.
- How you plan to use your lights. Galaxy lights are for more than just relaxing or drifting off to sleep. They’re also wonderful for reading, working, and even for romantic date nights. You can also use galaxy lighting as a fun night light to ease kids into bedtime or to keep on through the night to soothe those nighttime scaries. There’s really no wrong way to use galaxy lights – what’s important is knowing how you plan to use them before you buy them.
- The mood you want to set. Lighting is a crucial component of your bedroom’s ambiance, and not all galaxy lights will create the same mood. In fact, different colors can impact your mood in different ways. For a romantic mood, red lighting is your best bet, while blue and green can help transform your room into a zen environment.
- Your current bedroom decor. If you have a modern bedroom design, your current decor might comprise neutral colors, natural materials, and clean geometric patterns – and no two lights will appear quite the same in this environment. That’s why you should keep your current bedroom decor in mind when planning your lighting purchases. You’ll want your lights’ colors and styles to match your current decor – the soft glow of a red starry night sky might fall flat in a room with red walls, but fully immerse you in outer space with walls painted a light blue or pink.
