> fabulous lighting for children's rooms

Getting lighting in children's room's is really important - you need good overhead lighting, bedside lamps and desk lights for older children. The choice available is endless. I steer clear of the sickly sweet 'designed for children' lights in novelty shapes in our interior projects (you will so quickly tire of them!) Instead, choose from the vast selection of affordable designer lights - they will stand the test of time, adapt with your child as they grow and really are worth every penny. Here is a concise but fabulous selection. 

One of my favourites is the Norm 03 by Normann Copenhagen (our Daughter has this in her new (nearly finished) bedroom). It is a wonderfully sculptural lamp shade and when illuminated, it casts the most wonderful pattern onto the ceiling and surrounding surfaces. We have this suspended low over her bed!

The FL/Y Suspension light by Kartell is equally stunning and comes in a gorgeous array of colours. Packs a real punch of designer oomph!

Verner Panton (who designed the iconic and my beloved Panton chairs) designer these sweet little Flowerpot lamps, in ceiling, table and desk options.

I can tell our daughter is growing up... she has requested the Anglepoise Original 1227 Desk Light in black for her new bedroom - this possesses a great urban/industrial quality and I celebrate her choice!

The Canned Light Suspension is great fun and adds a hit of 60's POP - a row of these would look amazing!
