Kids are creative. Kids like color. They’re active, and they like unique things.

Keeping these facts in mind, our team at Lightstyle of Orlando has posted this blog to give you a few tips for lighting children’s rooms. These home lighting ideas do apply specifically to kids’ bedrooms, but you can use the concepts presented here to fun family rooms or rec rooms as well.

Let’s start with the ceiling since it’s the main setting for a light fixture. You want an interesting ceiling fixture that’s bright enough to illuminate the room, but one that’s not too harsh and hard on young, sensitive eyes. Take the time to shop around for a fixture that meets the style of the room, whether you’re going with a futuristic theme or something playful.

For your child’s schoolwork or reading area, it’s good to include a novel, unique desk lamp that’s adjustable and provides a gently-lit space for your budding genius to create and study.

Spotlights are good additions for indirect lighting that provide a playful element to the room while nightlight-type fixtures help calm the nerves of little ones.

By using these kid’s room and home lighting ideas as a roadmap, you’ll arrive at a destination that’s both bright and friendly.
