How To Light Up Your Childs Bedroom
Your child’s bedroom is their sanctuary. It’s a place where they can play, read, sleep and build their imagination.
The pendant light and ceiling fan light create the perfect mix of task and ambient lighting.
Having the right lighting options for your child in their bedroom can do a number of things. Firstly, the correct lighting can help promote sleep, if your little one doesn’t like complete darkness. Secondly, it can help them play and read at night. Thirdly, choosing lighting options that compliments your child’s room decor and favourite things can add personality and make your child’s room more inviting.
Just like any other room in your home, there will be different types of lighting required in your child’s bedroom.
The different types of lighting in your child’s bedroom
Overhead lighting- You many have or a ceiling light. This is obviously an important light fixture to have for general tasks and play. Small , white circular and with lights are also really popular in kids bedrooms right now.

Lighting with dimmers- if your child still doesn’t like to sleep in the dark, having a dimmer installed with your overhead lights means that you can put the lights down very low, so that your child is able to have some light so they feel comfortable and secure enough to be able to fall asleep. Dimmers make it so easy for you to adjust the light to a suitable level for your child as well.
Bedside lighting- Whether your child is at the stage where they are reading before bed or you are reading to your child before they go to sleep, having adequate bedside lighting is important. This is also the light they can reach to if they want to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom or get a glass of water.

Desk lighting- If your child has a desk in their room which they use for doing their homework and assignments on, you want to make sure they have a high quality desk light that will help them to see clearly what they’re doing so they don’t strain their eyes.
Night lights- Night lights are also great for installing in kids bedrooms when they have difficulty sleeping in the dark. Another great alternative to this is glow in the dark products. These are useful because they emit a very low amount of light and don’t require electricity to work. This could be anything from glow in the dark stars on the ceiling to a glow in the dark figurine or animal.
Incorporating lighting into the overall decor of your child’s room
Whether you are starting from scratch or working with the existing decor in your child’s room, it’s a good idea to think about lighting options that compliment your child’s interests, the decor in the room and even your child’s favourite colours too. After all, it is their room so it might be a fun idea to get them involved in the selection process!
