If you have a bedroom like mine where creating a relaxing vibe is a top priority, then learning how to master mood lighting is a must.
Which is why these creative and dreamy bedroom lighting ideas are so incredibly helpful for your next project.
1. Starry LED Curtains
You can either open your windows to see the stars or bring them right to you! I love this idea. The starry LED curtain has twinkling lights embedded right into the fabric.
This makes the curtain light up and sparkle at night, giving the room a soft, muted illumination that is just so dreamy.

The muted colors from the fixture give a warm illumination and a bit of color to the room.

I love this smart and elegant look. Adding strip lights behind the headboard highlights the bed and provides that needed nighttime illumination.
It also adds a lot of drama to the bedroom vibe. The discreet location means you don’t even see the lights during the day.
