They may be young but that doesn’t mean you should overlook your kid’s bedroom as a place for a design makeover. After all, childhood is when a kid’s imagination is at it’s peak and running wild. Here are some top lighting ideas for a kids bedroom, to make the space shine its brightest.

Fairytale Fantasy: Fairy Lights

If your daughter is excessively girly and loves all things pink you might want to consider a bedroom that has delicate, fanciful lighting to continue this theme. Festoon lights strung up against a wall or across the room are a beautiful way to continue the fairytale theme without resorting to the cheaper fairy lights alternative.

Night time Wonder: Night Lights

If your son or daughter is afraid of the dark it can be helpful to create a sense of wonder for them each time they go to bed at night. Choose a lamp or night light that has inserts that make patterns on their wall. A variation of the classic glow in the dark stars, without the residue left on your ceiling. This beautiful pumpkin shaped night light projector with ambient lighting should help.

Space Odyssey: LED Strip Lighting

LED strip lighting, especially under a bed or under a desk, can really create a futuristic space-age effect to any room. If your kid is interested in science, they will love the way this trick looks. Choose a warm gold strip light for under the bed and create the illusion that the bed is floating on air. Or place some pink or blue in your child’s closet shelving. It’s a low cost idea that can have a massive effect.

Nautical Needs: Anchor Rope Lighting

Last but not least, if your son (or daughter) is interested in being a pirate, or you just want to add a nautical, sailor look for the bedroom, lighting that includes ‘anchor rope’ is the perfect way to create the theme. Choose a pendant lamp that hangs by a rope, or choose a desk lamp, that looks like a ship’s lantern.
