Planning options for lighting a children's room
Content
When choosing a room for a child, you need to consider not only artificial, but also natural lighting that comes from the windows. Ideally, if the nursery overlooks the southeast or east - then the light will fall in the right amount in the morning with the first rays of the sun, in the afternoon - gently lighting everything around, and in the evening it will be replaced by electric lamps.

In the children's room there should not be either excessively bright places or dark corners
If the windows face north or west, then in planning the design you need to consider that there will be little light coming into the nursery and this can be compensated by correctly distributing the artificial lighting in the nursery.
When choosing fixtures, you need to give preference to durable structures, and not choose chandeliers from fragile glass. If this is the boy’s room, then he can decide to play the ball, and such a chandelier can suffer from it and be broken.
Correct placement of outlets is very important in the interior, since if a child is young and he has access to this dangerous source of current, then this can result in serious consequences. If the sockets are not hidden under different surfaces or are in places accessible to children, then you can choose options with increased security. Currently, there are many such options: closed with a lid, locked with a key and so on. Long wires that lie under your feet will prevent the child from moving freely around the room - it is better to hide them in the wall, put them on the ledges, closing them with special plastic cases.
