Chandeliers in the children's room

A child’s room is a special room that is not only different in appearance, it has a different atmosphere. Each piece of furniture is carefully chosen to create a general sense of the world of childhood. One of the key design elements are chandeliers in the nursery. They differ on the background of analogues for adults, have a lot of advantages and varieties.

Chandeliers in the children's room - ceiling-type lamps, which are the main lighting device of the room. Their distinctive feature is the unique design of children's themes, thanks to which the chandeliers themselves are an accent of design, emphasizing the basic idea of ​​the design.

The line of children's ceiling lamps differs in type of installation and can have a different way of work. Models can be switched on in the usual way or equipped with a control panel.

Chandeliers for children - a separate category of models, which has a lot of advantages.

These accessories are:

• Depending on the raw materials used and on the calculation of a specific light source, they differ in cost, which is convenient for the buyer and allows you to buy a chandelier in the child’s room, taking into account the specific subject and planned budget.

With a lot of advantages, not all children's chandeliers can be called good. The design of some models leaves much to be desired. This applies to creative options with the addition of wire, which is traumatic, as well as models, whose position is much lower than usual, and accessories with an abundance of hanging décor, which provokes the child to reach for the lamp.

Therefore, when buying, it is important to keep in mind that a high-quality, worthwhile purchase of a chandelier in the nursery is first and foremost a safe accessory with a streamlined shape and safe, closed light bulbs.

Products are classified by type of lamp and can be with the following types of devices: incandescent, halogen, LED, fluorescent.

Each type of lamp has its advantages and disadvantages; therefore, the choice of a key room accessory follows strict rules: not all lamps are safe and suitable for a children's room (including home use).

• Incandescent lamps (ordinary Soviet light bulbs) are simple, convenient, low-cost, but they don’t transfer more than 5-10% of the consumed energy into the light, giving it into heat (heat up very much), are dangerous if they do not have a covered ceiling .

• Halogen lamps (incandescent bulbs with tungsten filament) have excellent luminous efficiency, compared with incandescent bulbs, retain most of the heat in the bulb (therefore they do not heat up), are durable (2000-5000 hours of operation), have close to natural lighting, but they are expensive, they can catch fire from the high temperature inside the bulb and fail when the lamp surface is dirty.

• LED sources Lights are safe for health, do not have heavy metals inside, glass flasks, differ in a set of different shades of color, are economical, provide a luminous flux without flickering and color differences, however, they are characterized by narrow luminescence and considerable cost.

• Fluorescent light bulbs - durable energy-saving lamps with saving electricity, less heating, a variety of shapes, sizes, base types, however, the chandeliers unstable to frequent switching on and off have a characteristic buzzing sound during operation, an unpleasant shade of the light flux causing eye fatigue, unstable to voltage surges, incompatible with dimmers, emit mercury vapor when working in the air.

The main purpose of the chandelier in the nursery is to illuminate the entire area of ​​space, regardless of the characteristics of a particular room. The purpose of the lamp is to support the maximum natural light in the room, which is subject to a specific lighting pattern.

Since the chandeliers do not include spotlights, it is important to build on the type of lamps used and the number of zones, which are three in the nursery:

• bedroom;
• working;
• gaming

The chandelier is an instrument of general lighting, it is used together with additional lamps, which are responsible for lighting every corner of the room, which include wall sconces and night lamps.

This formed the basis of the classification by age, therefore chandeliers for children's rooms are meant:

• for the baby;
• preschooler;
• elementary school student;
• on a teenager.

For example, a chandelier for an infant is distinguished by a design with closed-type shades.

Chandeliers for children of preschool and primary school age are made of particularly impact-resistant materials, with a more interesting and “adult” design. Models for teenagers (boys and girls) are selected on the basis of their hobbies, not forgetting the emphasis on functionality.

The colors of the chandeliers in the nursery depend on several factors:

• the sex of the child;
• age;
• design features;
• side of the room (creating the illusion of illumination).

Models can be made in universal tones, suitable for a boy and a girl (for example, light green, heavenly, beige, green) or radically different.

Variants for girls are performed in Barbie's favorite shades: pink, lilac, purple, maroon, mint. An excellent choice would be models made in soft contrasts using white and shades of pastel.

Accessories in the boys' room look especially nice if they are performed in contrasts of white, blue and yellow. Sometimes the brightness of the colors is added to the strokes in red.

Color solutions are divided into monochrome variants, contrasts and prints.

The last species today are rather rare, because against the general background of the mass of bright interior items inherent in a child’s room, they are lost. It is better to choose models with rich soft colors.

Design techniques - the basis of the success of the children's line of chandeliers. The theme is multifaceted, corresponds to the “spirit” of the time, being performed in a classical or non-standard form.

The most popular accessories themes are:

• marine style (ship, steering wheel);
• night and space (planet, stars, sun, moon);
• flying objects (rocket, airplane, helicopter, airship, UFO);
• motives with birds (parrot, owl);
• natural phenomena (rainbow, clouds);
• flower arrangements (single flowers or inflorescences);
• ocean world (fish, dolphin);
• alphabet (single letters);
• summer sketch (bees, butterflies, sun, umbrellas, balloons);
• funny little people with smiles;
• sports (soccer ball, hemisphere in the form of a ball);
• cars ("Cars", motorcycles).

The shape of the chandeliers does not have a clear frame. The classical direction tends to rounded outlines, non-standard models resemble a cylinder, a cone. With the right choice, any model will successfully fit into the style of the interior of the children's room, which combines a bedroom, a study and a recreation area. The most successful solutions for unique children's lamps are the styles:

• high tech;

• classic;

• modern;

• nautical;

• fabulous;

• anime.

Each area is unique in its own way, and often in order for the lamp to harmonize well with the general idea of ​​design, the chandelier itself is sufficient and supporting it through the color of one interior element.

If you can not buy a new chandelier, you can modify the one that is available. To do this, it is enough to use the materials at hand. For this fit fabric, cardboard, decorative tape, polymer, beads, lace, wood, as well as various useful things that exist in every home.

Design options weight. You can hang it with a regular chandelier of colorful butterflies with rhinestones (made of cardboard or decorated with rhinestones).If the chandelier consists of lampshades, you can decorate them using decoupage technique, gluing a delicate decorative braid around the edges, and decorate the legs with multi-colored letters of the alphabet.

If the lamp model is quite simple, you can change the laconic style beyond recognition by gluing butterflies cut to the pattern to the surface.

Based on the template blanks, you can change the design of the lamp every season, bringing something new and relevant to the atmosphere of the children's room. For example, replacing butterflies with autumn leaves of orange, red and yellow shades creates an autumn mood, if you choose snowflakes, the room will be filled with a sense of celebration and magic.

Choosing a chandelier in the children's room is available to everyone. The main thing is to rely not only on the external data of the model, it is important to take into account the type of lamps, size, shape, style. In order for a purchase to be successful, it is important to prepare in advance and select several options in case of a small assortment in the store.

This approach will evaluate the work of the accessory and the degree of propagation of the light flux.

After inspecting the product for quality, it is important to remember to pay attention to:

• availability of documentation - certificate of quality, compliance with safety standards, passport;
• The “correct” choice of the base (simplifies the purchase and replacement of light bulbs) and the type of the ceiling (glass and crystal pendants are unacceptable);
• correct light intensity with soft light scattering. Unacceptable brightness, beating on the eyes and destroying the retina;
• type of lamps. It is necessary to give preference to halogen, not having a blinding effect;
• attractive design and size that matches the room parameters;
• number of lamps. Ideally, there should be at least three of them, and, if possible, rooms directed in different directions in order to obtain uniform illumination of the entire space;

• reliable fastening of decorative elements and high-quality assembly, taking into account the model in accordance with the height of the ceiling and the dimensions of the room (suspended or in the form of a picture on the ceiling);
• the uniqueness of the design: even with a small assortment, the style of the model should fit into the overall picture of the interior, differing in originality, but getting into the color of the available pieces of furniture or accessories.

A good purchase is a beautiful, stylish and modern lamp that attracts attention. If the interior is not oversaturated with the number of parts, the chandelier can be powerful, large and catchy. If there are plenty of parts, a massive lamp will create a heavy atmosphere.

In general, the ideal model of the chandelier is:

• medium-sized product with several lamps;
• the lamp with lighting as close as possible to natural daylight (soft warm from 3700 to 4000 K);
• accessory with lamps of the closed type or arranged so as not to beat in the eyes;
• stylish design thing that attracts attention;

• product, subject to the general theme of the interior;
• the safe chandelier having reliable fastening of all elements of a design;
• resistant to multiple on and off;
• tuning the child to positive thoughts. The creative design of a half-human, incomprehensible creature, distorting the child's psyche, is excluded.violating the correct perception of the world;
• a product from “correct” materials (metal, wood with painting with eco-friendly dyes).

Having decided to change the style of the nursery, you can pay attention to interesting design options. It is easier to understand exactly what you can buy in the room. Selecting an original chandelier, it is worth considering the style, color combinations, for example:

• the steering wheel chandelier with a white canopy-sphere perfectly fits into the pirate theme room, realistically standing out against the background of the ceiling accent zone in the form of a starry sky;

• a model in the form of a flower with pendants butterflies, located on the ceiling of the heavenly background will be appropriate in the interior of the room of the girl, made in beige-green tones;

• a summer theme with a celestial ceiling background, cheerful walls of light-green tint, decorated with curtains with fluttering butterflies can complete the chandelier-airship of white color with a little bear;

• the fabulous theme of the girl’s room can be supported by a unique chandelier in the form of a scattering of stars, illuminating the main part of the room’s square;

• the original model with floor lamps and pirate ships will be the accent of the boy’s room style,for greater harmony, having color support by means of a desk, a shade of curtains and an accent wall;

• if a model ceiling in the form of clouds is chosen, a single accessory is not enough: in order to fill the room with light in the required volume, you will have to add a pair of suspended structures above the work table and a small wall lamp above the bed.

The choice is great and depends on the imagination of the owners of the house. However, this is the subject that can break the style if the purchase is random.
