Because there are so many different salt lamps in many different shapes and sizes, it might take some searching to find the right size. In this blog, I advise you on which salt lamps are best suited for each room in your home.
Room size
Salt lamps have many health benefits. To optimize their effect, it's important to choose the right size for each room. Multiple salt lamps in one room are, of course, also a good solution. We recommend calculating 250 grams of salt crystal per square meter or placing the salt lamps close to where you spend the most time.
- For a large living room, I recommend placing a 7-9kg salt lamp, possibly with an additional smaller one. This way, the room will be beautifully and evenly illuminated with the red-orange glow.
- For a double bedroom, two 2-3kg salt lamps are a good solution for the two bedside tables.
- In a single bedroom, a 4-6kg salt lamp works well.
- For your desk, I recommend a 2-3kg or a 4-6kg salt lamp. The salt lamp is not bright enough to function as the sole light source while working, but it does have a calming effect which can be pleasant if you get stressed from studying or working.
Children's room or nursery
Many people find that children become calmer due to the warm tones that the salt lamp spreads throughout the room. For babies, the red-orange colors also provide a safe and warm feeling. I recommend you consider how much light your baby or child needs. Although all Himalayan salt lamps emit a subdued ambient light, the light from the larger salt lamp is brighter than the smaller variants.
The above is the minimum I recommend. You might find you can't get enough of salt lamps in your home once you have them. The larger the Himalayan salt lamp, the more atmosphere you get, and the greater the benefits you experience.
