How to Light a Hotel Room for Relaxing Ambience

Hotel rooms are a home away from home and should showcase practicality and comfort within their interiors. Lighting in a hotel room can provide an extra level of luxurious atmosphere, so the right lights are essential for creating memorable spaces of relaxation.

Hotel Room Lighting Made of Handcrafted Materials

Lighting made of handcrafted materials creates a relaxing atmosphere while showcasing a modernised look. Embracing well-made handcrafted lighting fixtures adds a unique statement to your hotel room and reflects the quality of your establishment.

Our premium handcrafted wire cage pendant lights are a perfect addition to any hotel room, showcasing the understated grandeur your hotel embodies while creating an inviting, relaxed atmosphere for each guest.

Layered Hotel Room Lighting Designs

Consider using hotel lighting designed to combine functionality and a relaxing ambience. Hotel rooms should layer different lighting as guests require multiple needs to be met within the space. This might include incorporating ambient lighting with task lighting, as this can diversify areas within the hotel room.

Light layering combines three types of lighting:

• Ambient/General
• Task/Functional
• Accent/Decorative

Incorporate lighting fixtures such as table lamps and modern wall lights adjacent to the bedside to achieve different layers and lighting zones within the space. Combining diverse light sources helps achieve a warm ambience in the hotel room, removing the need to rely on one too-bright overhead light.

Dimming and Control Options

Placing dimmer switches and control options into hotel rooms provides an extra layer of relaxed ambience as dimmer switches empower guests to create the perfect atmosphere at their convenience.

No matter your hotel interior style, our extensive range of indoor lighting is compatible with dimmer switches and control options, allowing you to keep your interiors consistent and guests happy.

Embrace Natural Lighting Where Possible

Embracing natural lighting throughout your hotel space during daytime hours will boost the energy of guests and staff, reduce energy consumption and integrate the area with its exteriors.

When natural lighting is inaccessible, incorporate accent lighting such as industrial wall lights in areas above seating, walkways and bedside tables for an instant relaxed glow to maintain the boost of energy guests may need.

Practical Table Lamps

Relaxed ambience can come from something other than wall and pendant lighting. Industrial table lamps blend vintage style with optimal functionality and beautifully complement any interior style.

These retro-style lamps are an ideal option for bedside tables and desk spaces as they create a spotlight perfect for completing tasks and can also be used to softly diffuse light throughout the room to achieve a relaxing ambience.

How to Light Small, Dark Hotel Rooms

A dark space can make any room feel cramped in appearance. Embracing light fixtures such as modern ceiling pendant lights above the bed, seating and desk areas of the hotel room helps to dramatically eliminate any dark spaces and make the room feel larger.

Soft pockets of light will decrease dark spaces and distribute light into the room for the perfect balance of functionality and ambience.

IP-Rated Hotel Bathroom Lights

Elevate hotel bathroom interiors with our IP65 Rated Lighting ideal for creating a spa-like feel within bathroom interiors. A bathroom can make or break a guest’s stay, so it is important to consider how the lighting within the space creates a relaxed atmosphere.

Our extensive collection of modern bathroom lights provides sleek sophistication with modernised practicality to create a tranquil ambience in the space.

Our IP65-rated lighting can be used in zone 1 of any bathroom as they are watertight and can withstand water projected from nozzles. Hotel rooms with larger bathrooms tend to capitalise on a wider range of lighting to illuminate other zones.

Accent Wall Lighting

There are countless ways to use wall lighting within your hotel interiors. Wall lights can be used as accent lighting that create an effortless, relaxed ambience.

Embrace contemporary wall lights over reading corners, bedside tables and furniture to make the room feel warm and inviting while the rest of the room endures a low and intimate atmosphere.

Accent wall lighting can be matched with industrial bedroom lights to keep your hotel interiors consistent, or if you prefer to combine modern with vintage, pair vintage wall lights with modern pendants for optimal depth and texture within the room.

Incorporating the Right Bulbs in Hotel Rooms

It is important to ensure you incorporate the correct type of bulbs within hotel rooms. Using bulbs with the wrong colour temperatures could leave the room looking unappealing and uninviting to guests.

Embrace modern light bulbs with lower lumen levels and warmer colour temperatures in bedrooms, as this produces a relaxed ambience for guests to unwind.

Embracing Pendant Lighting in Hotel Rooms

Pendant lighting provides effortless elegance, statement and style in hotel rooms. Pendant lights placed on the ceiling as a centrepiece of the room will softly cascade light throughout the room to achieve a relaxing ambience.

Whether your hotel interiors are modern or have a vintage feel, we offer a range of stunning pendant lights available in different styles, finishes, shades and fixture types.

If you want to enhance your hotel interiors with a relaxing ambience, delve into our diverse collection of hotel lights. Our extensive range of styles will complement any interior design choices you want to encapsulate within each hotel room.
