Answer

Warm lighting around three thousand kelvin is ideal for bedroom alcoves as it creates a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Use picture lights, sconces, or LED strips matched in color temperature to the room's primary lighting for a seamless look. Position lighting to highlight shelves or seating areas without causing glare. Proper lighting enhances the alcove's function, whether for reading, applying makeup at a vanity, or displaying plants. Including dimmable options allows ambiance control for various moods and tasks.
