At this stage in their young lives, toddlers are curious creatures. Every experience is a new and exciting adventure. This means even fairly simple decisions such as your choice of lighting can have a significant impact on your infant. When considering your room, embrace this young naivety is key. Their room demonstrates how curious your child can be.
Here are some adaptable ideas you can include when considering redecorating your child’s room from baby to toddler:
Use Overhead Lighting for Wellbeing
Playing is learning for a toddler and obviously a major aspect of a child’s life. The key factor to remember is to ensure that your toddler’s room, and any accompanying spaces, are well lit. This includes using overhead lights such as suspension lamps at the correct level of brightness, yet most importantly, not shone directed into their eyes.
Install a small chandelier for atmosphere and charm
Kids need to relax just as much as they need to play. Revitalisation can be achieved within their own haven. Their bedroom, even from an early age, is their sanctuary. Having a lively chandelier can be conducive to this effect, adding that very necessary charm factor. It does, in addition, have a sense of grandness about it.
For the sci-fi effect, introduce a dual lighting system
For children that are frightened of the dark, which let’s face it is the majority as well as adults too, there are fantastic lighting effects that are soft enough to induce sleep yet keep the nightmares at bay. During the twilight hours, adjust the lighting for a brighter effect to allow for concentration on their games and reading.
For the budding sports child, decorate with an overhead fan complete with lighting
Finding a 1962 classic football table to act as the centre piece for your footy-mad child’s room is something they will cherish forever. To make the most out of this timeless classic, make sure to include an overhead fan and lighting that will never date. By the bed, place a bedside lamp that is in tune with the style to induce him/her to enjoy reading at night.
Bring the four corners of the world into your child’s room
If you have taken any outstanding images of the Taj Majal or Udaipur, enlarge them to their maximum and create a beautiful mural to cover your toddler’s walls complete with atmospheric back lighting for an embracing and worldly feel. Perfect for inspiring your young ones.
Ahoy there enter the captain’s quarters!
Use the nautical theme for a jaunty touch complete with vintage signal flags, a round mirror, lighthouse wallpaper in blue and cream for the ultimate marine dream. Creating the nautical bunk beds will represent the children’s special area where they can read using their own personal lamps, securely attached to their walls.
Integrated lighting within a wardrobe for a stunning modern effect
If your child is a budding athlete, you can set the scene by creating a wardrobe design that has integrated lighting on its door panels. They can be used as night lights for those young ‘uns that a little scared of the dark. It can also be inserted into the night table and include a bedside lamp. This would be suitable for all age groups.
