Lighting fixtures are the final touch that can add depth and brilliance to the child’s room. Layers of lighting add warmth to a room, and several different fixtures are needed to illuminate all areas evenly. There are four different types of lighting available: table or task lighting, floor lighting, wall lighting, and overhead lighting. Any or all of these light fixtures can combine to create dynamic and attractive spaces for a kid’s bedroom.

Table Lamps for children’s rooms provide bright focused lighting on a small area. Lamps can be placed on a nightstand for bedtime reading or on a desk for projects and homework. Some lamps are even available that have a nightlight in the base, performing another essential function for your kids. Table lamps can be fun as well when they extend the theme of the room. RoyalBambino.com carries many fanciful designs, from cowboy boots to frogs, from crystals to bunny rabbits.

Floor Lamps are another option for lighting a small or large area. They tuck nicely into a corner, behind chairs, or next to dressers. Floor lamps direct light upwards, lighting a room more softly and creating a brighter space without harsh angles. The upward lighting can fall short of lighting all corners of a room on its own, but with further layering you can provide ample illumination.

Wall Sconces can brighten dark spaces in your child’s room, and can even be attached to a dimmer switch to provide different levels of light. Sconces can highlight wall art or stand alone as a striking décor element. They create an elegant feel instantly with their addition to any space. Because of their placement high up on a wall with no cords hanging down, sconces are even considered safer options for lighting a nursery or toddler’s room. RoyalBambino.com features wall sconces ranging from streamlined modern styles to intricate crystal-draped finery.

Many rooms that become children’s bedrooms are not equipped with any sort of ceiling lighting, yet light from overhead fills the entire room, shining on all corners and walls. A Chandelier is the perfect solution for overhead lighting. Chandeliers can draw the eye upward, providing a focal point for the room’s décor. A chandelier can be a stunning accent piece that completes a room and ties a theme together. RoyalBambino.com carries children’s chandeliers in the timeless antique styles that first come to mind, as well as in many fanciful and charming designs to delight your children and make them feel as if they are living in their own wonderland.

Children’s lighting can be as dynamic as lighting any room in the house. As with any room, many levels of light can work together to provide the perfect ambiance for your child’s living space. Children will appreciate the inspired designs and added brilliance of a variety of light fixtures, transforming their bedroom from a flat and lifeless design into the sparkling room of your child’s dreams.
