Children's room

Children`s room Rooms for children and teenagers have many functions during the day and night – especially while they are growing. The room is used day and night for play, relaxation, work and sleep. The need for light – both daylight and artificial light – ranges from a well-lit room for playing and tumbling around on the floor to subdued light in cosy corners and total darkness for an undisturbed sleep at night.

Daylight for play and more serious matters

Small children often play on the floor and they need good lighting covering the entire floor. Daylight and direct sunlight may be a nice additional element when playing, but you also need to be able to control the amount of light with curtains or blinds.

As children grow up, socialising with friends becomes more important. This calls for a different kind of light for the cosy corners and seating areas, where both a good reading light and subdued lighting are required.

Teenagers also spend a lot of time at the desk doing homework, drawing and playing computer games. Here, a good working light is important – as is the case for adults at work – preferably a combination of daylight and an adjustable lamp.

Good lighting in the playroom

• Sunlight adds warmth to children's play.
• Curtains or blinds allow you to control the influx of daylight to create exciting colours and patterns in the room and to give your child something to gaze at before he or she falls asleep.
• Siesta blinds ensure uninterrupted sleep during the light summer nights and early mornings.
• A proper working light is especially important for older children who spend time in front of the computer, both with their schoolwork and playing games.
