Kids Room Lighting 101
Decorating and designing a kids room can be a blast, especially when you get the kids to help! But decorating a kid’s room is more than just painting a few colors on the wall and buying the old bed in the bag comforter set. Lighting plays an important part in the design as well. Without the right light fixtures, it can be tough for kids to color, do their homework or read a book. Use these tips and techniques and you’ll be sure to get the best lighting options for your kid’s room design.
Are you up to the task?
No matter what your children’s ages are, task lighting is an important part to any kid’s room. Desk lamps and the like work great for focusing light where they need it most. But not all kids can sit at a desk for long. As they tend to move around the room—the bed, the floor, etc.—they need task lighting to follow. By installing recessed lighting and other direct options at various zones around the room, kids can have all the task and direct lighting they need at the flick of a switch.
Surround them with light
Light sources that are very direct works great for focusing on specific tasks, but often cast a shadow without an ambient source of light. Flush mount ceiling fans with a light kit are perfect for creating an ambient glow all around the room and stops task lighting from casting shadows. Not only do you get a safely mounted fan, you also get a great light source that gives you two functions for the price of one.
Can you leave on the nightlight?
Just about every kid needs a nightlight at some point in their life. Even as adults, low powered lights help us to safely navigate to the bathroom or kitchen. By installing a permanent nightlight system for your kid’s room, you can eliminate the dangerous plug in nightlights that so often cause shocks to inquisitive children. Recessed lights can double as task lighting during the day and night light at night when switches are controlled by a dimmer function. Separating lights onto different switches also helps to control lights 24 hours a day.
Make them look pretty too
Aesthetic light sources are often used to accent design options and room décor. With the addition of aesthetic lighting sources like wall sconces, you can create a display area for your kid’s best works of art or even a colorful mural or their favorite poster of Justin Beiber!
