We continue with him special baby room decoration, and today we are going to talk about lighting. There is no doubt that the ideal in a children's bedroom and in general in any room is that receives a lot of natural light, exterior bedrooms with large windows and well oriented are the ones we like most. Then we will take care that the light does not enter when we do not want it, with curtains, curtains, blinds or blinds, but the good thing is to have the possibility to enjoy it whenever we want.
So when we talk about aspects related to lighting we usually refer to artificial lighting, since with the natural one, there will never be a problem in excess, we can always stop it and if there is a shortage of it, we will have to compensate it with well placed lamps. Each room has its different characteristics that to some extent condition the way of lighting, but let's see some general guidelines to follow to illuminate The children's bedrooms.
Types of lamps for the baby's room
Personally I am not in favor of embedded halogens, although today there are dimmable and LED bulbs are also embedded in a children's bedroom I prefer a traditional ceiling lamp and some other point of indirect light. The best thing for a child's room is a pendant lamp such as the one we see in the photo on these lines.
The lamp will be placed on the centered ceiling and will be complemented with other auxiliary lamps, one more at least, that provides indirect light, ideally that other lamp is on the wall, we can opt for a standing model while the child is a baby, but as soon as he begins to walk, that option would be dangerous . He wall sconce It has the advantage that it is not within the reach of the child and the disadvantage that we cannot move it to direct the light in the direction we want.
It is also true that when the child grows up soon we can incorporate any type of lamp into the room, in fact it will be very important to illuminate the desk area well when you start having to spend part of your time studying at home. In that sense they are more comfortable table lamps For example, we can place it on a dresser or small table while the child is a baby and then use it on the study table. There's also clamp lamps that can be anchored in tables and other furniture, but you have to be careful, because the clamp eventually spoils the furniture.
Create atmosphere with lighting in the baby's room
Today there is options to integrate light into a room that break to some extent with the concept of traditional lamp and that can help us create in the room a magical environment ideal for the child's rest and for their games. There is wallpaper with built-in LEDs that make any surface luminous, be it the ceiling or the wall, many like that the ceiling of the children's room looks like the starry sky at night and today that is easy to get.
We can also choose lamps that do not look like what they are or that remind us of something else, such as the lamps in the shape of balloons that we see in the photo and that to some extent remind of fairs and a festive atmosphere, very suitable for children's room. Children as they grow up will use their room for their games and the lighting and the shape of the lamps They can help make the room a good stage for them.
Original lamps for the children's bedroom
Though floor lamps and table lamps are not recommended for children's bedrooms, the truth is that in design there are real preciousness, although standing ones are more dangerous because they are within reach of children from the ground and could be thrown and hurt with them, with table ones there is no need to have a problem if we place them in a place far from the reach of the little ones. Some can actually be used for children's rooms but they can also be placed in adults' rooms like animal-shaped lamps in the photo above these lines.
When the children begin to make their own drawings, we can contemplate the option of placing personalized lamps with them at home that are very beautiful. The shape and colors of the lamps we choose should be according to the decoration of the rest of the room, with the drawings on the walls, if any, and with the colors of the furniture and those that we are going to choose for textile accessories, so that the whole set is well balanced and integrated.
Night lamps for children's bedrooms
A classic in the children's room for what little they usually like the dark, is the night lamp, a small lamp that provides a low intensity light and that it is left on all night so that if the child wakes up he can see with some clarity around him. It is also a help for us, that if we have to enter the room during the night we will not have to do it completely in the dark.
Typically, these lamps have shapes inspired by motives that children usually like, suns, moons or stars, flowers or animals ... some like the one in the photo are inspired by stories like 'The Little Prince'. They are usually not very expensive lamps and that are actually bought to the taste of the adult, many times the child is still so small that he will not care about the shape of his lamp, we are the ones who enjoy watching it in his room.
In short, let's run away from fluorescent tubes and embedded halogens, let's start by placing a lamp centered on the ceiling and then we can choose between a floor lamp, which I love next to the crib, but when the child grows up we will have to withdraw for a while, or a wall which is less dangerous but you can not change places, finally the table and night are circumstantial complements, which we move and change over time.
