Decorating Ideas for Bedrooms Using Rope Lights

Beneath the Bed

• One option for rope lights in a bedroom is placing them underneath the bed, so the bed lights up during the night or before bed. One method is placing the rope lights directly on the floor. Another option is attaching the rope light to the bed's under frame, so the rope lights are invisible from the bed frame sides. Use small hooks to attach the rope light, so the hook hugs around the rope and attaches to the wooden bed frame.

Behind Furniture

• Another decorative option for the bedroom is adding rope lights behind large pieces of furniture that are part of the bedroom furniture sets. For instance, a large dresser placed in the corner on an angle is an ideal place for rope lights. Add the rope lights around the perimeter of the dresser, so it lights up when the room is dark.

Ceiling and Crown Molding

• Add rope lights around the crown molding of the bedroom or around the ceiling to give the room more light than the main ceiling light source. Use clear light bulbs to give natural light to the bedroom, unless you wish to have blue, red or green lighting in your bedroom.

Wall Decorations

• Colored rope lights in various colors, such as green, red and blue for wall decorations. Since rope lights do not put off strong light, it is an ideal solution for children who enjoy sleeping with the light on. For children's bedrooms, use rope lights to create specific designs or shapes. For example, hang a red rope light in the shape of several flower petals. Use a yellow rope light to create a circle in the middle of the flower and use a green rope light to create a stem of the flower. You can also use yellow rope lights to create stars on the wall.
