Each family knows perfectly well that the child's room is the most significant in the whole apartment. Parents with special trepidation refer to this room, because here the kid is most of his time until he grows up: resting, physically and mentally developing, playing toys, doing lessons, drawing, writing, sculpting figures from plasticine, etc. Therefore, the proper distribution of furniture, interior details will help create the most comfortable environment for a child of any age: from a newborn to a primary school student.

Types of light sources
There are 2 types of sources. The first relates to daylight, which penetrates into the room in the form of sunlight. To the second - artificial sources of illumination: lamps, spot ceiling illumination, sconces, chandeliers, floor lamps, etc. No children's room appears without windows, which should help to give the child the joy of the sun, especially in the summer, well, and, of course, without sources of artificial light, which are necessary both in summer and in winter. Comfort to the kid will be provided by lamps for children's rooms: table, bedside, ceiling and placed on the wall. Earlier we already wrote about how to make lighting in the apartment, so do not refuse to take advantage of our advice and recommendations.
What requirements should be considered?
To correctly distribute lighting in the children's room, consider the following rules:
- It is recommended for the child to use soft light. Avoid overly bright LED lamps, chandeliers and their bright glare on reflective surfaces. However, the twilight is also not advised. Suitable is the lighting, using which you avoid the drops from light to shadow, and all objects in the room will be equally illuminated.
- Pay attention to the choice of shapes and dimensions of those light sources that you want to install in the children's room with your own hands.
- Large and clumsy chandeliers and fixtures will be the first that will break as a result of active children's games, for example, in the ball. So when choosing chandeliers from the catalog, choose those that have a round and flat shape.
- Eliminate models with crystal or mirror parts to avoid glare.
- Ideal is to install point-to-point ceiling lighting: well "pouring" the tension and suspended ceiling, it remains comfortable and non-irritating for children's eyes. In the previous article "Diagram of connecting spotlights" you can find out how to install them yourself in the teenager's room. A variety of fixtures for the "child"
- Today, often use fluorescent lights, but in the children's it is better not to use them. Lamps of this type adversely affect people, quickly exhausting them and causing irritation. If you do not want to expose your child to such conditions, refuse to use such lamps, especially in a baby room.
- For small lovers to read a good book at night, we recommend buying a bedside lamp. If its function includes adjusting the brightness of the lighting and the direction of the light, then it can become a comfortable nightlight for the growing boy or girl. In this case, pay attention to how many watts the light is designed for, so that the backlight is comfortable enough to read.
- The learning process should take place in the child in the most convenient conditions. The writing desk for which your child will be trained should be placed as close to the window as possible so that it is better illuminated by sunlight. Speaking of artificial sources of lighting a children's room, it should be noted that the leader here is the table lamp. It is better that it had a fastening, and could be located on the edge of the table. For children writing with their right hand, place the light source in front and left. To prevent a strong light load on the child's vision, you can use a lampshade or a desk lamp, as shown in the picture below.
Pay attention to the safety of light sources. The child should not have easy access to the wires or to the lamp! Materials of manufacture must be strong and reliable! If you decide to organize light in a children's wooden house, make sure that the lamp is fireproof. Take a closer look at which manufacturer cares about the health of your baby.
