A successful hotel, always trying to offer the best service to its customers, therefore it cannot disregard the use they make of the rooms and, above all, of the bedroom. Hotel room lighting is of fundamental importance, as it is responsible for the user’s experience.

If, on the one hand, many hotel owners overlook the importance, on the other hand this can be a useful data for you because it helps you to differentiate yourself and to attract more customers into your hotel.

The function of light for hotel bedrooms is to make the atmosphere warm and welcoming and to emphasize the details of the room and the design of the furniture. By placing the light points in strategic places, we are able to guide the client to the room, without any dark spots where he could stumble or hurt himself in any way.

Also for this reason, in addition to the discomfort it causes to the eyes, it is good to avoid glaring lights and annoying chiaroscuro contrasts. Concentrate on managing the layout and intensity of the lights in a pleasant way and give your customers a nice memory of the time spent in your facility.

The different lighting systems for hotel rooms

Each hotel has its own style line that follows in all the parts that make it up. Lighting should accompany and encourage the style of the hotel, enhancing its design.

Nowadays, in hotel bedroom lamps, LED lights are increasingly widespread because they are easy to install, ready to use and have a low energy impact. In addition, the LED has a longer life than other types of light, without affecting the chromatic performance, which is optimal for creating the right atmosphere. LEDs can be found in modules, light chains and lamps.

The technology offers the possibility of using touch screens and digital panels from which to select various lighting programs: this will respect the biological rhythm of the customers, such as being able to use natural light, which will put customers perfectly at ease.

The mistake you don’t have to make is to exaggerate with watts. The bedroom should not be illuminated like other areas of the structure and intense and direct lighting should not be used: it is better to use different light sources with different characteristics depending on the use you wish to use.

Arrange various points of light in the room that give a sense of warm and soft light, creating an atmosphere of intimacy and rest. A good solution that you can consider is the use of small wall lights on the sides of the bed, combined with a table lamp or an adjustable floor lamp.

Hotel bedroom lamps are responsible for the mood and well-being of the guests, but must also be economical to optimize energy consumption. Moreover, in a room where the furniture is “poor”, a lighting of character and full-bodied play a fundamental role.

Below you can see examples of lamps that you can adopt for your rooms.

Examples of lamps for hotel bedrooms

The decor of your hotel will be decisive for the design of the lamps you choose. This does not mean that both must have the same design, because an interesting strategy could be the design contrast between the lamps and the rest of the room.

Here are some solutions for using hotel bedroom lamps that you might consider for your project:

Floor lamps

You can decide between floor lamps to place at the entrance of the room or put in a strategic corner that, for example, diffuse light from above. You can find it with various types of designs, from the most classic to the most particular, depending on the style of your hotel.

Ceiling or wall lamps

A ceiling lamp that will surely be a good choice and, depending on the height of the ceiling, you can decide whether to apply one to the ceiling or to a wall: the latter is a type of lamp that allows different solutions depending on the function that we want to give it, from the more general one – how to illuminate the parts left in the dim light from the ceiling lamp – to more specific functions such as reading light or atmosphere if you use adjustable lamps.

Chain lights

To make the atmosphere more intimate, you can opt for chains of lights to hang on the wall, or to light spots on the wall, arranged to form a striking pattern that recalls the “starry sky” effect.

Strategically effective lighting is important already at the entrance of the room, perhaps through the installation of spotlights, recessed lights in the ceiling above the bed or in the wall corresponding to the headboard of the bed.

Table lamps for bedside tables

The lighting of the bedside tables, as we will see later, absolutely cannot miss: use table lamps, or wall lamps to save space. The bedside light is the last one that is used in the day and usually its use is isolated, while the other lights are off; therefore its importance is neither to be overlooked nor to be underestimated.

Abat jour is a timeless solution that creates a warm and intimate atmosphere, leaving ample room for the design that you consider most suitable to use to accommodate or to create a pleasant contrast with the style of the room.

LED design

If you want to give a more chic taste to your hotel room, you can also rely on LED lights, using them to outline the headboard and the interior of the wardrobe.

Another design and effect alternative can be the use of wall panels – which you can install both on the walls and on the ceiling – which give a very special touch to the room through the fusion of lights and colors. This option allows you to create very pleasant visual experiences.

Now that we have seen some examples of room lamps, let’s look at the most suitable lighting solutions to make your hotel rooms beautiful and functional.

What kind of solutions do you need to adopt to enhance the atmosphere of the rooms?

The lighting of the rooms is essential to give value to your hotel, both from an aesthetic point of view and for the psychophysical well-being of those who stay there. It will be the experience that the client will do in your hotel to decide whether or not he will return and, another fundamental aspect, the satisfaction gradient that he will use in reviewing your hotel on the web.

If you try to reverse the roles for a moment and put yourself on the side of those who stay, it will be immediately clear to you how to act in order to optimize the experience of your guests.

To leave nothing to chance, then, below we will list 5 solutions to use hotel bedroom lamps in a strategic way:

1. Generic and uniform light;

2. Reading light point;

3. Bedside lights;

4. Wardrobe light;

5. Angles of shadow.

Let’s analyze each point in detail in detail:

1. Generic and uniform light

The main light of the room must be so uniform as to illuminate the entire room, but without being too intense. To have this effect, you can entrust the task to a beautiful design lamp and not bulky, so that the light expands from above without the installation being annoying.

As an alternative to the chandelier, you can use the ceiling lights: they will illuminate the room in the same way as the chandelier and are also perfect for low-ceilinged and mansard rooms. Recessed spotlights positioned in plasterboard structures such as ceilings and false ceilings, give equally uniform lighting and, in addition, have various light spots that are beautiful to look at and have great effect.

2. Reading light point

As we have said before, one of the most beautiful and relaxing moments for guests is precisely that in which they relax on the bed, often reading a book, a magazine or anything else that gladdens them that moment. Here, then, that the reading light becomes one of the fundamental and inevitable elements in your hotel room.

The bedside lamps are suitable for this purpose, preferably with a flexible arm that allows you to direct the light according to need and an opaque diffuser to make sure that the light remains limited to the space in which it is needed and does not spread around the room.

If this solution does not satisfy you because you want more space on the bedside table, you can find the solution in the modern suspension lamps to be installed on the ceiling and let down to the bed.

You can also choose applique or small mobile lamps, which you can hook where you need it most, like the headboard for example. The important thing is that they are always in soft, soft light, so as not to annoy the guests.

3. Bedside lights

It is always good to light the bedside tables, even if the lens is not a reading light. The bedside lampshade is useful for any need, so you should not neglect it. You can choose a classic bedside lamp or you can find various designs based on the style of your hotel. As an alternative to the classic lampshade, you can choose a modern one with USB inputs for charging the smartphone, for example.

As for the previous point, if you want the bedside space to be totally free, you can use the generic but soft lighting appliqués, which do not constitute a reading light, but which light up a small space around the bedside table on which it is pointed the light.

4. Wardrobe light

Lighting the wardrobe is not essential in a hotel room, but it can be an option for important structures or specific rooms. For this type of lighting it would be good to opt for LED spotlights to be installed in the upper part.

This is a modern and functional solution if, however, your choice is for bulky spotlights with moderate light intensity, so as to illuminate only the specific area of the wardrobe without affecting other spaces in the room.

5. Angles of shadow

Shading angles created by special lighting will make the room’s atmosphere warmer, more welcoming and more restful. You can create this effect by using floor lamps or floor lamps, as long as the room is large enough.

An always useful advice is to choose an adjustable light floor lamp, so as to be able to modify its intensity according to the specific need of the moment.

These are effective tips to bring prestige to the rooms of your hotel and, not least, make every room that the room has to offer optimal.

Give your customers an unforgettable emotional experience

The light of the bedroom lamps in your hotel must be able to welcome and pamper your guests. Correct lighting, in this sense, is the only winning weapon you have available to recreate an atmosphere that makes the guest experience emotionally rewarding.

Always choose lamps with light and warm color, better if they are energy-saving: the white and cold lights make the atmosphere anonymous and do not enhance your design and your style. If you follow the advice given in this article for the optimal installation of hotel bedroom lamps and choose warm and ambient lights, your customers will feel welcome and pampered, leaving your hotel with the desire to return back soon.
