Salt lamps for your main bedroom

For many, the main bedroom is the key room in their decision making. 

The reason being is due to the number of people recommending salt lamps to their friends who are having difficulty sleeping the whole night through.

Time and time again, we get reviews and positive comments about how different customers sleep better with a salt lamp in their room.

Our customer buy salt lamps for their bedroom in two ways.

  1. A large Himalayan salt lamp to sit in the corner of their room
  2. As a bedside table lamp or crystal lamps for their room.

Bedside crystal salt lamps are very popular. But there is definitely competition for the Himalayan salt lamps versus selenite lamps.

By far the most common size for bedroom side tables is the 4-6kg on both bedside tables.

Having a Himalayan salt lamp in your office is more common place now than ever, especially when many celebrities are showing theirs on their desks or at home.

Let's face it, most office desks are limited by their desk size, so a 2-4kg salt lamp works well.

But if you have a space in the corner, then you can get a salt lamp according to the size of your office.

The bigger your office, the bigger the salt lamp you can get.

A lot of remedial massage places have one 2-4kg or 4-6kg salt lamp in every room.

And reception will often have a larger one. This always has a calming effect in every office for both staff and clients.

In reception, you might like to have up to a 4-6kg salt lamp.

Salt lamp size for a hallway and night light

For most people, getting up once per night to go to the toilet is pretty common, as annoying as it is.

Having a salt lamp in the hallway or living area leading up to that is ideal at night.

To get the benefits of the salt lamp, you need to have it on.

Having a Himalayan salt lamp on all night to light up the areas you and your family might walk through each night makes a lot of sense.

For this size area, you might like to have anything from 4-6kg or multiple 4-6kg salt lamps.

You may also like to have a carved salt lamp like a fire bowl, as they always look beautiful.

The good news is, no salt lamp is ever 'too big'. The bigger the salt lamp, the more air in the room they can cleanse and purify.

When people first experience sleeping with a salt lamp in their room, they often want to get a bigger one to experience even more benefits.

There are only positives to getting bigger salt lamps.

But keep things in perspective. Keep your salt lamp purchase within budget and focus on the many benefits they can provide for you and your family.
