Choosing the right children’s lamp for your little one’s room is a key decision for both their comfort and the safety of the space.
However, it is common to make certain mistakes that can affect the functionality and aesthetics of the bedroom.
In this article, we’ll show you the most common mistakes when choosing children’s lamps and give you tips on how to avoid them.
Mistakes to avoid when choosing a children’s lamp
Not considering the safety of materials
One of the biggest mistakes when buying a children’s lamp is not paying attention to the materials it’s made of.
Many times, lamps may include fragile parts or flammable materials that pose a risk.
Make sure the lamp is made of safe materials such as durable plastics or wood treated without toxic elements.
For example, our Hello Little Forest Animals children’s wall light has a double shade made of die-cut polypropylene, a material that is completely safe for use by little ones.
Avoid lamps with small parts that can become detached and become a hazard to small children.
Choosing a light that is too bright or too dim
Light intensity is a determining factor in a child’s visual comfort.
Light that is too bright can be uncomfortable, while light that is too dim may not be sufficient for activities such as reading or playing.
Opt for dimmable LED bulbs that allow you to adjust the intensity according to your needs.
Also, choose a warm color temperature for a cozy and relaxing atmosphere.
Ignore the functionality of the lamp
Many parents choose lamps based solely on their design without considering their functionality.
Some lamps may be decorative but may not provide the lighting needed for every activity.
Define the primary use of the lamp: will it be a main light, a reading light, or a night light?
Our Pink Star Light table lamp offers more versatility, giving you the perfect light while reading a story, drawing, or just before going to sleep.
It also has a fluorescent effect, so the stars will glow in the dark when the little ones turn off the light, also acting as a night light.
Not taking into account the proper location
Placing a lamp in an inappropriate location can cause annoying shadows or uneven light distribution.
Furthermore, if it is out of reach of the child, it may be impractical.
Position the lamp so that it properly illuminates the play, reading, or rest area.
If it’s a table lamp, place it at a safe height to avoid falls.
Neglecting design and aesthetics
The lamp design should be integrated with the theme and decor of the child’s room.
Many times, a lamp is chosen that, although beautiful, does not match the style of the space.
Opt for lamps with themed designs, soft colors, or child-friendly prints that complement your existing decor.
At Dalber, you can find complete themed collections to create the perfect nursery for your children, such as the Planets collection, which includes a ceiling lamp, table lamp, ceiling light, wall light, and a three-light ceiling lamp.
Not considering energy efficiency
Using traditional light bulbs can increase electricity consumption and generate more heat in the child’s room.
Choose lamps with LED technology, as they are more efficient, long-lasting, and reduce the heat emitted.
In addition, they contribute to energy savings in the home.
Choosing the ideal children’s lamp is not just a matter of design, but also of safety, functionality, and efficiency.
Avoiding these mistakes will help you create a welcoming, safe, and well-lit environment for your little one.
