5 of the Best Loft Lighting Ideas

Read on below to find 5 loft lighting ideas that will make your space brighter and more practical.

1. Drop Down Lights

Drop down lights or spot lights like these are ideal for any loft space. Not only do they look modern and discreet, but they provide ample lighting that’s suitable for any use. They are flexible too, you can choose from a white light to a warm light, creating any mood you desire.

2. Natural Lighting

A single window like this can provide enough natural daylight to sufficiently light your loft space. Adding windows is especially great if your loft space is a habitable space, natural lighting is perfect for bedrooms and office spaces. Pairing the large window with white walls and boards accentuates the space and makes it feel bigger.

3. Fluorescent Lighting

If you can’t add a window to your roof space and your attic is very dark and dingy; why not try fluorescent lighting? A strip light is great for spaces that are only used for storage as these lights create a lot of light; making it easier for you to find what you need. One thing you don’t get from this type of loft lighting is ambience.

4. Fairy Lights

Fairy lights may not provide the best light to see by, but they are great for setting the mood in a bedroom or living space. Get creative and drape them over bed frames, shelves and hooks. Ideal for anyone using their loft space as a cosier / snug hideaway.

5. Lamps

As with any living space around the home, lamps can be placed around your loft to create a desired lighting effect. Especially if you are using your loft space as a bedroom or office. The great thing about lamps is that you can move them accordingly, depending on how you want to rearrange your layout in the future. We love this look of matching lamps either side of the bed.
