Black Light Ideas for a Bedroom

Black lights can turn an ordinary room into an artistic expression. Many older children, teenagers and some adults will enjoy having a bright and bright room in the dark to show off to their friends. Combine the lighting with neon decorations to create an explosion of colors. The decorations make a difference in a bedroom with blacklight.

Black Light Ideas for a Bedroom

Lighting

It is better not to use incandescent bulbs since they emit little black light and extreme heat effect. Instead, use newer LED black light bulbs, compact fluorescent bulbs or tube-style fluorescent bulbs. One 48-inch tube style should illuminate a 12-by-12 room. To make sure you have enough light to illuminate the bedroom, mount a 48-inch black light tube on top of two walls, side by side. .

Walls

Black paint is ideal for a bedroom with blacklight; however, painting each wall can make the room look smaller. Paint one or two adjacent walls with black paint. Hang posters with black backgrounds and fluorescent colors, since these types of posters are made for black lights. Pour liquid laundry detergent into a bowl and allow the room owner to paint his name or his own designs on the black walls. The detergent dries clear but glows in the light.

Bedding and window treatments

Make your own bedding using paintbrushes and templates to draw designs on black bedding with liquid detergent. Wear black bedding with cushions and neon blankets. Neon bedding also works. Alternatively, wear white bedding and paint neon designs on the bedding. When using neon bedding, paint the headboard and the foot of the bed with black paint. Glue stickers that glow in the dark on the boards for added brightness. Use paint that shines in the dark to draw designs on black curtains to hang on the windows.

Accessories

Hang objects that glow in the dark, such as leis, necklaces, bracelets, curtain beads and hats, around the room. Glue plastic pieces that glow in the dark on trash cans, around door frames, on the ceiling, on furniture, to spell a name and on dresser knobs, for further decoration. Make bright neon bottles to use as centerpieces with empty bottles and markers. Empty and clean the glass bottles and fill them with water. Take the internal pieces to several markers and place one in each bottle. Allow the bottles to sit overnight then remove the stick. Shake the bottles and place on a shelf or use as a centerpiece on a dresser. Put a little alcohol in each bottle to prevent the water from molding.
