Lighting
Tips: Kids Bedrooms
With the variety of fun lighting options available these
days, decorating a kid's room is an adventure.
But there are safety issues to consider first. Generally
avoid floor lamps. They always get knocked over. Always!
Also avoid low pendant lights. They can be a hazard
during pillow fights or when jumping on the bed.
Any light that their little hands can reach should preferably
be fitted with compact fluorescent bulbs. These bulbs are cool to the
touch.
If a night light is required, try mini-fluorescent lights.
They'll save you money.
And lastly, consider installing timers. That way the
kids can go to sleep with the lights turned on if they want - and you
won't have to worry about them forgetting to turn the lights off.
