Options for the design and style of fixtures for the children's room

Do I need a baby lamp in a child’s room? Especially the lighting in the nursery does not differ from the lighting in other rooms of the house. They are installed in the chosen style for placing lamps on the wall, night lights, floor lamps, chandeliers, etc. However, there are nuances and they should be taken into account. We learn everything important on the issue of lighting in a child’s room.

A lot of attention is paid to lighting the room so that the child’s eyes do not suffer from a lack of light or excessive brightness.

Pros and cons of fixtures in the interior of a children's room

Children’s room is multifunctional. Here he plays, deals with his children's affairs, has a rest, and the schoolboy does his homework. This is a world where a child develops and grows. The arrangement in such a room must be carefully thought out. An important role in this case is lighting.

Today a wide variety of models of children's lamps is available, in which it is easy to get confused.

Children's lamps should be positioned correctly so that vision does not deteriorate from an early age, and a feeling of comfort is created in the room.

The children's line of models has significant differences from the lamps selected in other rooms of the dwelling.

Let's consider what are the advantages of lamps for children:

• provide a sufficient amount of lighting;
• affect the formation of children's vision and overall development.

According to recent studies, the temperature of light has a positive effect on the child’s health and well-being. So, a warm spectrum (up to 3000 K) has a calming effect on its nervous system, a cold spectrum (up to 6000 K) promotes concentration and has an exciting effect on the nervous system.

The uniqueness of the design, thanks to which the lamps become the accents of the room or its finishing touches.

But the lighting in the room of a small family member can create danger for him. Consider the possible disadvantages of such lighting:

• Electric shock (if the incandescent lamp turns out to be broken, the leg that holds the spiral remains energized; if insulation is broken on the lamp housing or the wire is damaged);
• With active games of the child, the lighting device can be broken, fragments of a light bulb or lampshade can be easily injured and difficult to remove;
• It is possible to get burned from strong heating of the base of incandescent and halogen lamps. Safety glass is not a panacea; children's curiosity should not be discounted;
• Devices with a high level of flicker (ripple) can create additional stress on the organs of vision, cause a bias rhythm to shift. In this case, the problem is that a person is able to notice only flicker with a frequency of up to 80 Hz. Photoreceptors provide flicker information to the brain with frequencies up to 300 Hz. Therefore, if a person notices the first indicators immediately because of the discomfort caused, then with the second - the matter is more complicated.

Varieties of children's lamps

Any lamps (children's - not an exception) are divided into such varieties:

• Ceiling
• floor lamps;
• point;
• hook;
• desk lamp.

A variety of size range allows the use of lighting devices in rooms of various types.

Consider the most common of them.

Hook

The lamp with suspension on the hook is easy to install. In the case of choosing it for the child, it is not necessary to additionally conduct the cable, the appliance is installed in the intended place. Models are often produced with a special chain for adjusting the length from the ceiling. Parts for fasteners and wires are “hidden” in the glass of the lighting device, allowing them to maintain external aesthetics.

If you wish, you can always buy a designer handmade product of a professional level of performance.

Ceiling

Usually these are chandeliers, the purpose of which is the quality of lighting the entire room or area for games. Such lighting equipment can have different sizes, colors, shapes. Its design often contains interesting decisions by designers. Particularly popular lamps in the form of your favorite cartoon characters, animals, planes, cars, as well as imitating the starry sky.

The lamp is selected in such a way as not to hit the child’s eyes with light and cause positive emotions in appearance.

Directional LED spotlights are popular among ceiling lights. Structurally, they are made so that a change in the directivity of radiation is permissible and a specific area in the room can be illuminated.

Ceiling lights - the main overhead light, which largely determines the visual acuity.

Point

In the nursery, the general illumination of the room is important, and not just the areas for games. In the process of doing the lessons, in addition to the table lamp, it is required to turn on either a chandelier on the ceiling or spotlights. To date, LED spotlights around the perimeter are a popular form in the design of rooms, and the nursery is no exception. Such devices evenly illuminate the entire room and help to zone it.

Recessed spotlights are more often design elements, supporting the general idea.

Requirements for the selection of a lamp for children

Consider what is important, what is necessary to pay attention to, choosing a lamp for the nursery. Such lighting devices should be:

• as safe as possible;
• environmentally friendly (when materials do not emit harmful substances when heated);
• with ergonomic design, focused on the child, for ease of use;
• fit perfectly into the surroundings;
• comfortable;
• since we are talking about a nursery, the design of the lighting device should not be boring.

And, of course, the child should like the lamp, so you should choose a lighting tool with it.

Floor lamp

The floor lamp in the nursery is convenient for reading a book for a child or for him to do it on his own. But you should not forget about security. Heavy, voluminous or fragile lighting structures in the nursery often lead to bleak consequences.

Lamps for children are selected thoroughly, otherwise against the general background they will be an inappropriate spot that breaks down the idea of ​​design into separate disparate parts.

Lamp

When choosing a desk lamp in the nursery, the dimensions of the table should be taken into account. A similar requirement is given not only for reasons of aesthetics, it is also important from a practical point of view. If parts of the lamp “extend” beyond the table, the child can inadvertently overturn it. And due to the overall dimensions of the device, it will be difficult to place other useful objects on the table.

With the right choice, they are able to fit into almost any interior style inherent in childhood.

It is not recommended to purchase fixtures with a glossy surface. This material glare. Therefore, for a child it is better to choose a table lamp with a matte surface.

The main thing to rely on is the age and tastes of the child.

An important part of the question when choosing a device is its material of manufacture. In this case, it is worth giving preference only to high-quality plastic. Since inexpensive plastic does not withstand high temperatures for a long time and will quickly melt.

Based on the age of the child, modern lamps for children are produced not only in a classic design.

You should not buy lamps with metal shades: it is not difficult for a child to burn oneself about them.

Lamp

Lamps for the nursery should shine brightly. However, sharp transitions to the shadow of the brightness can not be allowed. The best option is a lamp with diffused soft light, which does not give glare. Therefore, in the nursery, crystal lamps and made of openwork glass are undesirable.

So that the lamp does not harm the eyes, it is important to choose the right intensity of the light flux and its temperature.

Options for placing lamps in the nursery

Wall mounted

Always remember the safety of the child. As long as he can knock down a tabletop device on the floor, break a lamp or burn himself on a light bulb, it is better to choose a sconce with closed ceiling lamps or wall lamps equipped with flexible brackets, etc. Moreover, everything should be hidden from small researchers: cables , sockets, switches.

Lighting should be soft, even.

It should be borne in mind that the light should correctly "pour" onto the work surface: on the right if the child is left-handed, and on the left if he is right-handed.

If necessary, the children's wall lamp is located in the child’s recreation area. The device illuminates the room locally, provides an average level of light. The use of children's lamps on the wall is relevant when using a TV or when there is a desire to read before going to bed. In this case, special lighting at the bedhead or desk is enough to read and not strain your eyes.

If it is an additional light source, it should ideally fall under the tone of the main light flux.

If the child is small, the sconce light will not prevent the baby from falling asleep while reading him a bedtime story.

Tabletop

The optimal illumination of the entire room and the table at which lessons are performed seems to be important for a schoolchild. Therefore, at school age, another kind of light source appears in the child’s room - a table lamp for children. Its correct location involves installation on the table on the left, if the student is right-handed and in the corner of the table on the right - for left-handed people.

When buying a children's lamp, it is important to consider that it must be safe, made of durable material and having the “correct” type of light source.

IMPORTANT! Preference should be given to children's desk lamps for a desk, which are securely fastened with a special clip or using a screw mechanism.

Older students often themselves want to participate in the design of personal premises. Perhaps they will want to choose lamps of an unusual format, funny.

Properly selected children's lamp is the basis of the design of the room.

Conclusion

Proper lighting in the nursery is important for the harmonious development of the child. When developing lighting in a room intended for children, it is necessary to take into account the requirements for the safety of devices, the level of illumination, and the convenience of caring for them. Equally important is compliance with the interior style, aesthetic design of the lamp.

The design of the lighting device contributes to the development of an aesthetic taste in the child, so the lamp should harmoniously fit into the style of the children's room.
