Backlight Types

In the bedroom, the main attribute is the bed. Therefore, lighting should mainly emphasize this piece of furniture. The best option would be the organization of lighting in this area. To beautifully emphasize the design, it is necessary to pay attention to such parts as the general contour of the bed, decorative design of the back.

Location

The location of the lighting for the bed depends on many factors: design features, the interior of the bedroom and its parameters, personal wishes of the owners. Let us examine separately the lighting features of each part of the structure.

At the head

The head of the bed is most often equipped with lighting. Lighting devices can be used here:

Spotlights;
LED bulbs;
LED Strip Light.

The option of directing white light streams from the head to the top looks beautiful and modern. If you want to add this part of the design of beauty and functionality, you can install mirrors or small shelves.

Often, instead of the head of the bed, a bedside niche is equipped with additional light. For this, LED backlighting is used.

From below

The bed, equipped with a backlight below, looks gorgeous. To make the interior easier and more modern, you can use the so-called "soaring" bed on invisible legs, which is complemented by lighting from an LED strip attached around the perimeter.

In order to connect the backlight with your own hands, you will need to perform the following steps:

First of all, it is necessary to secure the tape by putting on a cap on each end;
then you should put on the adapters and immediately attach the plugs to them;
check the operation of the LED backlight;
Now you can begin to fix the backlight. This will require special fasteners that are screwed to the bed with screws;
after the tape is fully attached, you can include the tape in a pre-prepared extension cord and enjoy the beautifully highlighted bed.

If you have the skills to work with electrical wiring, you can do everything more carefully by installing hidden wiring with a switch specially designated for illumination.

Illuminated Podium

The bed podium looks impressive and stylish. In addition, it helps to significantly save space. And if you add lighting to this furniture, then in the dark a "hover effect" will be created. This is also convenient, since the probability of falling due to stage lighting will be excluded at night.

In order to organize lighting in this part of the structure, two options are used:

Spotlights;
LED Strip Light.

Often, additional drawers for storing things are built into the podium. Here it is imperative to provide lighting that will help maintain order and create comfortable conditions for the user.

Children's models

For any child, a private room is a space where you can enjoy a game, rest or your own fantasies. In order to make this world more interesting for a child, it is worth considering the purchase of a children's bed, designed in the form of favorite cartoon characters.

headlights;
