\"PropertyDrew & Jonathan Scott, hosts of HGTV\u2019s Property Brothers, offer tips & tricks for better, stylish bedroom lighting<\/h2>\n

You use your bedroom for more than just sleep, so you need lighting that works when you\u2019re getting ready for the day, relaxing with a good book, or doing household chores. What\u2019s more, the lights you choose for those daytime activities shouldn\u2019t compromise your nighttime sleep. And vice versa.<\/p>\n

Struggling to find the right lighting for your bedroom<\/a>? Drew and Jonathan Scott, hosts of HGTV\u2019s Property Brothers, have some great advice to help you think about what you need so you can find the lighting that works best for your bedroom \u2013 both day and night.<\/p>\n

The language of light and how it affects your sleep\/wake cycle<\/h2>\n

Before we can talk about bedroom lighting, let\u2019s look at the basics of light. Some light sources emit more of the red spectrum of light, while others more blue. Research has shown that exposure to light from the red side signals to the brain that it\u2019s time for sleep, triggering the body\u2019s production of melatonin<\/a>. Think of a deep orange or red sunset and how it indicates the day is done and nighttime is about to begin. Blue light has the opposite effect. Midday sun is the coolest form of white light, the time when most of us are wide awake and energetic.<\/p>\n

Back in the days of the almighty incandescent light bulb, we could just dim our lights to create a warmer glow. Great for sleep but terrible in terms of efficiency and actual temperature of the bulb. LED bulbs though last much longer, save energy and generate almost no radiant heat. They can be much brighter though so balancing different types of light in your bedroom will help it be a functional room for day and nighttime.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe typically associate warmer lighting colors with the traditional incandescent bulb, but advances in lighting over the last few years have completely changed the landscape,\u201d says Jonathan. \u201cSoft white LEDs create a calming environment conducive to sleep, while still illuminating critical areas of the room. Such warm, white bulbs mimic the color of traditional incandescent bulbs to enhance your coziness.\u201d<\/p>\n

And since LEDs are much more cost effective and last longer, look to them first when designing stylish bedroom lighting.<\/p>\n

Layering ambient, accent & task lighting for a multi-purpose bedroom<\/h2>\n

\"ScottWhen you decorated your bedroom<\/a>, you likely layered colors to provide depth and character and accent key pieces. Approach light in your bedroom the same way, seeking to enhance the visual appeal of the room while making it more functional.<\/p>\n

\u201cLayered lighting allows for a variety of choices depending on what you\u2019re trying to accomplish,\u201d says Drew.<\/p>\n
