Minuses

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.

Often, trademarks are distinguished by open light sources, which is not always appropriate for a child's room: the lamp may break if it is accidentally mechanically exposed.

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.

Sources of light

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.

Purpose

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.

Due to the specifics of children's interiors, chandeliers must adapt to the changing needs of the owners of the room.

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.

It is important that their shade be muffled and have support in the form of a night lamp or a small desk lamp.

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.

Colors

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

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.

How to make a nursery out of the ordinary?

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.

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.

However, it is worth remembering that in this case the type of light source is important. You need to pick up the lamp, which do not heat up, otherwise the paper will gradually burn.

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.

  • 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.
