3 Lighting Tips for Reading (No Eye Strain)

Tip 1: Avoid overhead lights (causes shadows, strains eyes). Use wall lamp angled toward your reading area.
Tip 2: 30-40 lumens per square foot for reading (typical wall lamp = 400-600 lumens = perfect).
Tip 3: Warm white (2700K) is cozier than cool white (6500K) for bedrooms. Ask for warm white bulbs.

Where to Place Your Reading Nook

Option A - Corner of Bedroom: Most common. Wall lamp on corner wall, chair/cushion below, small table beside. Storage in corner shelves.
Option B - By Window: If lucky enough to have window. Natural light by day, wall lamp by night.
Option C - Small Alcove: Unused space under sloped ceiling, beside wardrobe, etc. Wall-mounted storage = no wasted floor space.
