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:
