Chandeliers for the nursery

To choose a chandelier in the nursery, you need to take into account the basic requirements for models, features of the room for children, as well as the taste of the young family member. Based on simple rules, you will quickly find the right option.

Chandelier in the nursery - the purchase is quite expensive. This is due to the fact that the development of models in the bedroom for a child takes more time and money than for adults. Lights for children are subjected to a variety of tests that show that the products are safe for the child, do not emit harmful substances during heating, are not able to injure the baby, and so on.

Release a lot of different options: for the kid, the child of preschool age, the school student and for the teenager. They also differ by gender. Models for a girl or girl are significantly different from lamps for a boy or for a young man of the same age.

And for boys and girls release a lot of different ceiling models.They are selected depending on the size of the room and the height of the ceiling, there are various configurations and dimensions.

The predominance of bright colors is another feature of children's lamps. None of the "adult" version will not meet such an abundance of pink, yellow, orange, green and other rich colors. Often there are also figured models made in the form of various gizmos: a pirate ship, the sun, a basketball basket with a ball-shade. Nothing restrains the imagination of the designer.

Remember that different colors affect the nervous system of a child differently, so brightness is the most important. That the child was cheerful and active, chandeliers are issued in so saturated tones.

They are impregnated or treated with additional compounds that prevent the accumulation of dust, so as not to cause allergies in the child. Caring for children's chandeliers usually requires a more thorough, so bona fide manufacturers, well-proven, try to maximally facilitate the work of the hostess with the help of such processing.

Many factors influence the appearance of the chandelier. In particular, one of them is the thematic filling of the room. If your child wanted to furnish a room in a pirate style, it is hardly worth buying a chandelier with a twisted flower shade. It would be more logical to choose a model in the form of a scroll, a pirate ship or a cartoon skull with a bandage over one eye.

Before installing the chandelier, you need to pay attention to its electrical component. As a rule, high-quality models provide an additional safety element against short circuits, electricity drops, and fire. This is done to increase safety. If your chosen option is equipped with additional protection, this is a huge plus.

There are several classifications of children's ceiling lights for various reasons. Each such attribute is important and helps with the correct choice of an individual suitable option.

By fastening design:

• Suspended. The most common type, especially in rooms with high ceilings. It is represented by a variety of variations of both the suspension element itself (cord, rod), and the configuration of the lamp itself.
• Overhead. Ceiling tablet chandelier received a new life when designers began to depict various patterns on it. The light, passing through the brightly decorated chandelier, creates unusual projections: the sky with clouds, animals, and so on.
• Inline. Spotlights rarely act as the main lighting element, but they are often complemented by suspended or overhead models when they are not sufficiently well illuminate the entire area of ​​the room. Usually used LED spot lights, less often - energy-saving light bulbs.

By the number of light bulbs:

• Single-bulb. One very bright light source is selected, giving enough light for the whole room. Usually it is complemented by spot lighting.
• Multi-bulb. They are chosen more often than single-lamp models, due to the greater brightness and abundance of design solutions. Multi-track chandeliers have a fairly large diameter and are able to illuminate a larger space.

If possible, adjust the level of illumination:

• Constant light Lighting control is absent.
• Adjustable light. As a rule, it is possible to change not only the intensity of light, but also its color.These models come with remote control or built-in dimmer, simultaneously serving as a switch.

By age and gender:

• For babies. There is no separation at this stage.
• For girls of preschool age. Vivid educational options with girly characters, animals and so on.
• For boys of preschool age. Bright learning options "boy" colors and themes.
• For girls of school age. Bright decorative options with themes and patterns for girls.
• For boys of school age. Saturated colors are not always used, especially when it comes to models of sports subjects.
• For girls. The gentle neutral models close to classical representatives of the chosen style.
• For young men. Presented mainly in dark colors and brutal design, are made of metal or plastic.

Such a division is rather conditional due to the fact that it is impossible to take into account all the points.

The right choice of color is one of the fundamental points that help save the baby’s energy, dispel his sadness and longing, make the room more comfortable, more dynamic, more alive.First you need to stay at the light temperature.

The temperature of the light is responsible for the color of the lighting. Traditionally, the choice is made in favor of the 2700K - a warm yellow glow, but for a nursery it is best to pick up a neutral white 4000K, refracting it with the help of the selected lampshades.

If we talk about the color of the chandelier itself, then the options vary considerably.

They depend both on the sex of the child, and on the style and theme of the room and its size:

• For babies, the color should not be too bright, it will affect the quality of sleep of the child. It is better to select models of neutral tones: beige, gray. A white chandelier will be a good choice if it is located on the same white ceiling. In the case of the little ones themselves, you should try to pick up the ceiling lamp in one color with the ceiling.
• For boys, the choice in favor of chandeliers of truly "male" colors is welcomed. Dark green, blue, red look good both solo and with additional decorations. Despite the choice of color, lamps still have to stay cheerful.
• For girls fit pink, yellow, lilac. Depending on the age and hobbies, you can add a chandelier with figurines of fabulous animals, fairies, stars, suns and so on.
• Teenage models are kept in more subdued tones to help the child relax before bedtime.

Choosing a multi-color model, especially the bright spectrum, pay attention to the fact that the colors blend harmoniously with each other. With white, you can combine almost any color.

The following combinations are most favorable for bright colors:

• Aquamarine and light gray;
• Pistachio and beige;
• Canary and dark brown;
• Crimson and dark blue;
• Bright yellow and pale blue;

• Blue-gray and turquoise;
• Purple and light khaki;
• Hot pink and delicate light green;
• Orange and aqua;
• Sunny yellow and emerald green.

If more than two colors are chosen for the luminaire, it is recommended to adhere to the following rule: combine warm shades with warm ones, cold ones with cold ones. Remember that for children's bedrooms, it is preferable to choose warm colors.

The variety of different configurations of ceiling lights will make anyone feel lost. To make the only right choice, rely on your taste and wishes of the child. The following ideas will also help you.

For boys:

• For a theme in the spirit of adventurers or pirates, a chandelier will fit in the form of one of the characteristic items: a chest, a scroll with a map, a ship. Suitable and models with painted objects: with parrots, gold coins, pirate flag.
• The lamp-cloud can be either of solid material or of batting. It is suitable for a room whose main theme is aeronautics or airplanes.

• If the room is stylized under the theme "space", instead of a chandelier in the classical sense, you can organize a mobile, where the sun or planet Earth is the central lighting element, and either the other planets of the solar system or the Moon rotate around.
• If your child is a sports fan, he will be pleased with ceiling lights in the form of sports equipment: a soccer ball, a hockey puck and the like.
• Many boys love the cartoon "Cars." If your child is one of those, he will love the chandelier with cars. They can be both suspended and painted.

For girls:

• Girls are pleased with cute things, including on the ceiling. Painted owls on the lamp - just what you need. Chandeliers with birds - one of the most popular among girls.These can be models with parrots, with fabulous birds from your child’s favorite cartoons, and so on.
• Invoice lamp with clouds - quite an interesting idea. At the same time, realism is not the main thing: the sky-background can be either a classic blue hue, or pink, yellow, and others.

• Suspended umbrellas - an idea quite risky, since not such a solution is suitable for every subject. If you stylized the room of a girl under the cartoon "Winnie the Pooh", this may be a reference to the corresponding scene.
• Space theme in a rather selective way can be used in the bedroom for a girl. For example, the sun overhead chandelier is perfect for this. Most often they buy models on which the sun has a smiling face, but you can buy a simple monochrome chandelier with rays.

• Lampi-mobil are very popular for girly children. The hanging element is made in the form of a bee, butterfly, fish - roughly speaking, any cute creatures.
• Chandelier-rainbow is made by analogy with the boyish models of sports balls. Rainbows can add clouds, fairies, birds.
• Balloons are a great choice for multi-beam chandeliers.Such a bunch of balls will create a festive mood all year round.

It is more appropriate to talk about style in relation to the teenage room, because for a child’s bedroom it is better to take care of safety, brightness and absolute compliance with the desires of the child. In adolescence, children try to express themselves by choosing a style that fully reflects their inner world.

Most often, the choice of boys falls on modern trends: “loft”, “hi-tech”, “modern”. For girls, everything is exactly the opposite: "Provence" and classic - the most typical choice. However, in their pure form, styles are almost never used. The younger generation seeks to bring something of their own: things and decor that will emphasize their individuality.

Chandelier is just an element that does not have to fully comply with the chosen stylistic direction. You can experiment with color, shape, materials. We must not forget that the color should still remain sufficiently restrained, not screaming. If you want to put a color accent, choose a complex deep shade: aquamarine, classic red, medium yellow-green.

For a small room with low ceilings can not choose a suspended model. Not only will it interfere when walking, such a chandelier also focuses attention on the insufficient height of the room. It is best to stay on the surface design. Depending on the area of ​​the room, the chandelier may have a large or small diameter.

It is not necessary to use only the chandelier. An interesting and functional solution will be the use of spot lighting. In addition it will help to divide the room into zones: working, sleeping and playing.

For long narrow rooms, give preference to tire track models. They can be hung under the ceiling, and can be set low enough (typical for the style of "loft"). If the tire is equipped with spotlights, it will be possible to regulate the degree of illumination of a particular section.

If your growing up child chose a chandelier without a lampshade, it is optimal to purchase frosted glass bulbs. They will gently scatter the light without harming the eyes of the young family member. Such models are perfect for glossy ceilings. The ceiling reflects the light, increasing the degree of illumination of the room.

To chandeliers in the room of the kid increased demands. The main one is security. Safe models should not be flammable, be made of toxic or fragile substances. If you chose a chandelier with an abundance of small parts, make sure that the child could not reach it in any way, otherwise negative consequences can not be avoided.

In addition to the safety of the chandelier itself, the light should be safe. The choice of soft but diffused light, not harmful to the eyes of the child, is preferred. It is desirable to provide the lamp with a dimmer so that it is possible to adjust the level of illumination.

Pay attention to the lighting area: it is necessary that every corner of the room is sufficiently lit. If the chosen chandelier does not meet the required parameters, add it with spotlights or wall lamps.

We should also talk about the choice of light bulbs. Remember that halogen is not the best choice. When damaged, they emit a poisonous gas that can cause severe harm to the health of the child. LED light sources are the best choice.Despite the high price (up to 1000 rubles per piece), they are much brighter than usual, at the same time they consume several times less electricity and are characterized by unprecedented durability - up to 15 years of service.

Pay attention to the ripple index. It is desirable that he kept at less than 10%. Despite the fact that the pulsation of the luminous flux is almost invisible to the naked eye, its consequences are rapid fatigue, reduced performance, headaches, suppressed states. For the child, each of these points is harmful in particular.

It is necessary to take into account the age of the child. The ceiling lamp for a teenager and for a preschooler is unlikely to be the same.

It is accepted to divide four age categories:

• From 0 to 1 year;
• From 1 year to 7 years;
• From 7 to 13 years;
• From 13 years (adolescence).

For babies, they choose models of neutral colors that will not take the child too much and distract him from sleep. In this case, the most important thing is to follow the quality of the material from which the chandelier is made.

For the next age period, bright models are best suited. At this stage, it is time for gender divisions: for girls choose models in female colors (pink, yellow), and for boys - in men's (blue, blue, green).An excellent choice would be developing multi-colored models of lamps, for example, with letters or with butterflies.

For the student you need to buy not so childish models. Well, if you consult with your child, find out exactly what he wants. Perhaps he will ask about a classic lamp, although most likely, his choice will fall on a model that meets his interests. For a girl, it can be a mobile with butterflies or suns that rotate and shimmer. For boys - the lamp in the form of a ball or a miniature of the aircraft.

For a teenager, it is time to choose an already fully mature lamp, but it is very important that the child choose the chandelier himself. Otherwise it may happen that he or she will be uncomfortable in such a room. The choice of the children's model is already inappropriate due to the age of the child.

You should not buy a chandelier "for growth", trying to save.

In the bedrooms for girls it is popular to use suspended long models made up of various objects.In this case, the chandelier is made up of beautiful multicolored glass pieces, hung in a specific order. Despite the fact that the chandelier is quite long, it is outside the reach of the preschooler girl.

Not a single boy in the world will refuse to have his own plane. You can please the child, if you choose a chandelier in the form of a miniature fighter. By creating lighting, this multi-lamp chandelier is not inferior to classic models, but it looks much more interesting and unusual.

A bunch of bright ceiling lamps is a popular solution for a schoolchild's bedroom. They can be used in adolescence, the colorful yellow color does not allow the child to get bored in such a room. The chandelier does not create a sufficient level of illumination, so it was supplemented with a spotlight and an LED ring.

Unusual suspended chandelier in neutral white is great for decorating a teenage girl's bedroom. It has a rather interesting construction, and at the same time it echoes the surrounding space. Since the room is quite large, such a large ceiling does not look too bright in it.

For rooms of newborns it is customary to choose neutral options.The wicker pendant lamp is not only made in a neutral color, but also from a completely environmentally friendly material - wood. The elaborate form of the design makes the room stylish, despite the overall simplicity of the furniture.

In the bedroom for two children, it is recommended to buy a lamp that fits the room more, especially if the opinions of the children regarding the model are divided. This will help not to offend any of them. An interesting forged construction will certainly appeal to both boys, even if at first they don’t recognize it.

Suspended chandelier for the teenage room can be made independently of the old globe, you only need a basic knowledge of electronics. Such activities bring children together with their parents.
