With the arrival of autumn and the change of time, the days get shorter and it gets dark much earlier.
Children’s study time in the afternoons now coincides with less natural light, making the lighting in the children’s bedroom even more important.
In this guide we tell you how to choose the perfect light for your study corner and what other aspects to consider to create a comfortable, welcoming and inspiring space.
Why is lighting so important in a studio space?
Light directly influences children’s concentration, mood, and performance.
Insufficient lighting can cause eye strain, distractions, or even drowsiness, while light that is too intense or cold can be uncomfortable.
Therefore, it is essential to combine natural light and artificial light in a balanced way to maintain a pleasant and functional environment.
Make the most of natural light
Place your desk near a window to take advantage of natural light during study hours.
If your child is right-handed, the light should come from the left; if they are left-handed, from the right, to avoid shadows on the notebook.
Even so, remember that with the time change, the evenings become darker, so you’ll need a good auxiliary lamp to maintain the appropriate light level as night falls.
The desk lamp: the star of the study corner
The children’s desk lamp is a great ally for achieving concentrated, glare-free lighting.
When choosing one, keep these key aspects in mind:
- Warm or neutral white light: ideal for studying without straining your eyes.
- Avoid glare: choose models with a screen or diffuser that softens the light.
- Design to suit the children’s bedroom: At Dalber you will find children’s lamps with soft colors, fun shapes and motifs that inspire without distracting.
A good lamp not only provides light, it also motivates children to sit at their desks and enjoy their own space.
Beyond light: create an environment that invites concentration
Lighting is essential, but it’s not everything. For a study area to be truly functional, other details also need to be considered:
Order: A clear desk improves concentration.
Use boxes or drawers to keep the material organized.
Comfort: An ergonomic chair adapted to your height will prevent bad posture.
Soft colors: Neutral and pastel tones promote calm and focus.
Inspiring decoration: paintings, shelves with their favorite books or a lamp with their favorite character make the space their own.
Ambient lighting for a welcoming atmosphere
In addition to the desk lamp, it is advisable to include a soft ambient light to balance the overall effect.
A ceiling or wall lamp that projects a warm light helps to create a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.
In this way, the bedroom becomes not only a place for studying, but also a space where the child feels comfortable imagining, reading or resting.
Extra tips for autumn study sessions
Make sure that the general lighting and the task lighting (desk lighting) are turned on at the same time.
This way you avoid abrupt contrasts.
Check the light bulbs regularly: a flickering or too dim light can be distracting.
Introduce study routines with good lighting and regular breaks: the ideal environment starts with habits.
A well-lit study corner helps children concentrate better, feel more comfortable, and enjoy learning.
With the right combination of natural light, a desk lamp, and ambient light, and with a tidy and motivating environment, you’ll be creating the perfect study space to grow, dream, and learn.
