Having the right kind of lighting solutions available for your needs is important in any room. It can influence how you use and feel about the space. But in children’s rooms, lighting is doubly important. It not only impacts the way that the room looks and feels. But can impact the mood and behaviour of your children. It can even have an effect on their eyesight. That’s why Nordlux has taken such care over its children’s lighting collection.
Choosing the Best Children’s Room Lighting with Nordlux
Why is it important to choose the right type of lighting for children’s rooms?
Children’s eyes are really sensitive. That’s why lighting plays a key role in protecting them. Regular exposure to too bright light can cause dry eyes or even permanent damage. While too little light can lead to eye fatigue and strain. That’s why it’s so important to choose warm, diffused ambient lighting for your general lighting.
It’s also important to factor in how lighting impacts the brain. Cooler light tones can increase your alertness. So, while its great for areas of intense focus, such as desks, it can lead to a prolonged bedtime. So, as a general rule, it’s a better idea to select warmer light for next to the bed. And anywhere else you may be wanting to promote relaxation.
What lighting should you choose for children’s rooms?
There are three types of lighting that you should consider for children’s rooms.
Ambient lighting
This is usually your main ceiling light. Its aim is to illuminate the room from corner to corner, enabling any occupants to see clearly. So, a light like the Nordlux Dicte 53, with its white pleated pendant providing a soft and simple aesthetic, makes a good choice. The white colourway ensures maximum illumination, and yet the enclosed nature of the shade helps to protect young eyes against the gleam of a naked bulb.
Task lighting
Whether it’s for homework or bedtime stories, children’s rooms should always include task lighting. Available in a variety of colours, the Nordlux Ellen Mini table light is the ideal solution for smaller spaces. It provides a gentle downlight for times of focus, helping to reduce eye strain. But, again, because of the concentrated area of the beam, it prevents the light from shining anywhere other than where you wish it to be.
Or, for an alternative type of bedside light, you have the Nordlux Lilibeth. Created with a small integrated shelf, these lights don’t just look gorgeous. They provide a handy place to rest any bedside essentials, without the bulk of a standard bedside table.
Decorative lighting
While decorative lighting isn’t essential for a children’s room, it certainly helps to make it a lot more inviting. And that’s where lights like Nordlux’s Bruna Bear and Konchi can come in. Whether used as a charming adornment or as a cosy nightlight, both lights can bring warmth and personality to a children’s room.
The right lighting can bring your children’s rooms to life. But it can also make your life easier! By changing the tone of your children’s lights, you can help to improve their homework focus or ease them into a calmer bedtime. You can change the character of the room with a little decorative lighting. And you can help to keep your little one’s eyes safe.
