Lighting tips for children's rooms
Lighting is such a common element that one rarely thinks about the comfort, function, safety and personality it brings to spaces. As we already know, correct lighting makes all the difference in rooms, and children's rooms are no exception. Whether you want to protect your newborn's eyes or help "scare the monsters away" from your child's room, we have some kids' bedroom lighting tips you'll want to know.
The lighting of a children's room should bring visual comfort to the parents and, at the same time, comfort the child, in order to provide adequate and relaxing sleep. It is also important that the lighting adapts and evolves as the child grows and the needs of the space evolve.
Make the most of natural light
The first step when we talk about lighting a room is always to maximize natural light. So plan the layout of your child's room considering the amount of natural light they receive. It is based on this aspect that you will then have to define the amount of artificial light needed and its ideal location, to obtain a cozy space for parents and children.
Choose pieces with indirect lighting
When decorating your children's room, avoid exposed light bulbs, as direct light can make babies uncomfortable and anxious. The ideal is to opt for indirect light, which is softer and helps to make the environment warmer and more inviting. Also don't forget to consider your baby's or toddler's point of view when they are lying in their crib or bed. Suspended ceiling lights can be uncomfortable for little ones when they are lying directly underneath them. Therefore, include suspended luminaires in other areas of the room.
Choose for a warm light
Children's bedrooms, as well as bedrooms and rest areas in general, should preferably have warm white temperature lighting. This is because the yellowish light produces relaxing and cozy effects, which contributes to better nights of sleep, both for children and adults. However, since cold white light keeps the body active longer, it is especially important for children to rest in a space that promotes their deceleration. However, for older children, who have homework and projects to complete, and if the study area is part of the bedroom, you can opt for a lamp with white light on the desk that promotes productivity and stimulates brain activity. .
Choose for a night light
A night light is very often essential in a child's room, so that it has enough light to view objects at night, without ever disturbing sleep. These lights are particularly important for children who are afraid of the dark, have frequent nightmares or wake up several times in the middle of the night, helping to make the child feel safer.
Create a magical environment
Your children's room is the ideal space to unleash their creativity and lighting can be a key factor in developing a magical haven for children. Opt for irreverent lighting pieces that stimulate your children's imagination and help create an environment conducive to dreams and play.
