A child's bedroom needs light for playing, reading, homework and settling down to sleep – sometimes all in the same evening. The right mix of lights makes bedtime calmer and gives the room a personality your child will love.
Soft night lights for calm bedtimes
A gentle, low glow helps little ones feel safe at night without keeping them awake. Look for warm tones and simple controls.
- Wooden Mushroom Bedside Lamp with Push Button – a cosy glow in natural wood.
- Stained Glass Look Cat Table Lamp – a whimsical bedside companion.
- Colour Changing LED Globe Lamp with Remote – rechargeable, with colours to suit the mood.
- LED Globe Table Lamp with Touch Dimming – tap to dim for story time.
Playful wall lamps
Wall lights keep surfaces clear and out of reach of small hands. They also double as decor.
- Bear Balloon Wall Lamp for Kids' Rooms – a charming nursery favourite.
- Nordic Colour Block Wall Lamp with Pull Cord – easy for older children to switch on and off.
- Pull Chain Wall Light with Wooden Accent – a simple, Scandi-style reading light.
- Wall Light with Wooden Mount and Metal Cone Shade – bright colours on a natural wood mount.
Fun ceiling lights
The main light can bring colour and pattern too. The Woven Metal Globe Flush Mount Ceiling Light casts playful shadows, while the Tiered LED Pendant Light with Round Shade adds a cheerful, colourful centrepiece.
Desk lamps for homework
School-age children need good task light for reading and drawing. The Desk Lamp with Adjustable Cone Shade and the Desk Lamp with Storage Base and Flexible Neck are colourful, practical choices, and the storage base keeps pencils within reach.
Safety tips for children's rooms
- Have hardwired wall and ceiling lights installed by a qualified electrician.
- Keep cables and chargers tidy and out of reach of babies and toddlers.
- Choose LED lights, which stay much cooler than traditional bulbs.
- Place lamps on stable surfaces where they cannot be pulled over.
- Use a warm, dim setting at bedtime – bright cool light can make it harder to fall asleep.
