Children's rooms
Kids have slightly different lighting needs from adults. Safety takes centre stage. Next, the most important thing to remember is that the scheme should change as they get older. There are all sorts of fun, decorative lights aimed at children, from aeroplanes to rotating carousels.
For babies, you need low-level lighting so you can see during those frequent trips in the night to feed, change and comfort. Try a plug-in nightlight or small lamp with a shade and low-wattage bulb - no more than 12V.

Ensure prying fingers can't open the fitting or get at the hot bulb or electrical wiring.
Use wall-mounted lights rather than freestanding lamps that can be knocked over easily.
Dimmers work wonders - they help to prepare a child mentally for bedtime.
If your child has a computer or television in their room, don't let them watch it in total darkness. It's better for their eyes to use low-level light, either from a dimmed light or from a table lamp with the beam directed at the ceiling.
