How to choose the right lamp for your child's bedroom?
Here are some tips for choosing the right lamp for your kids’ room:
- Consider the size of the room. If the room is small, go for a ceiling lamp or pendant that lights up the entire area. If the room is large, you can add table lamps or wall sconces to create a cozier atmosphere.
- Think about the child’s age. For younger children, it’s better to choose a lamp with soft lighting that won’t dazzle them. For older kids, you can go for a lamp with brighter light, suitable for studying.
- Consider the style of the kids’ room. The lamp should match the style of the room. If the room is furnished in a modern style, you can opt for a lamp with a simple, clean design. If the room has a classic décor, you can choose a lamp with a more elaborate design.

Lights for kids’ bedrooms
Just like furniture and accessories, the lights in a bedroom should reflect the tastes and personality of whoever lives there, whether it’s a girl or a boy. For girls’ rooms, lights can have soft shapes and colors (for example, a star, cloud, or heart-shaped lamp), while for boys, lamps can be themed around space, cars, or superheroes. But of course, it can be the other way around too.

Chandeliers for modern kids’ rooms
If the kids’ room is decorated in a modern style, you can go for chandeliers with a minimal and geometric design. For example, you can choose a chandelier shaped like a sphere or a cube, with matching or contrasting colors.
What are the essential elements for lighting a child's room?
Just like in other rooms, for optimal lighting it’s best to combine different types of light sources.
Here are the key points:
- Main lighting: this can be achieved with ceiling fixtures or pendant lamps that provide even illumination throughout the room. Avoid lights that are too bright, which could dazzle children while playing. Light bulbs hidden by fabric lampshades can offer a soft, indirect glow.
- Desk lights: When kids start doing homework, a table lamp with direct light is essential. A lamp with a natural white color temperature (around 4000 Kelvin) helps with concentration. If you place the lamp on the left for right-handed kids and on the right for left-handed kids, you’ll avoid annoying shadows.
- Decorative lights: string lights, portable lamps, and other decorative lights make kids’ rooms even cozier. Make sure the color temperature is below 3,300 Kelvin for a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere.
