Lighting Up the room

Lighting in a child's room is extremely important: it can affect their mood, allow them to concentrate or send them off to la-la land if you're lucky! You'll have to think about what your child will be doing in their room, studying,  playing or having quiet time and then allow a few different choices to compliment these; lamps, wall and ceiling lighting and also the all important natural light ie windows or skylights.

Here are some examples of various ways to use light to your advantage:

Using a bit of imagination (& enviable high ceilings) you can choose coloured glass to add an element of fun to a large playspace.

It's often a dream for a kid to have their own attic bedroom, this example uses the pitch to include more light & also watch the stars above at night, ahhhh!

LED lights have been proven a highly powerful  light source yet gentle on the eyes. The ability to change the direction of light is handy when doing various study projects, and it is also becoming more sustainable & cost efficent.
