Lighting Little Rooms

Choosing the right nursery lighting is both a practical and aesthetic decision.

Bright overhead lighting is fine for the kitchen or playroom but too harsh for little bedroom eyes, keep it gentle and soft. Lamp shades for the nursery come in a variety of designs and colours ranging from flowers to wooden aeroplanes to hot air balloons in full flight.

Lamps and wall lights soften the light for calm bedtime routines but it’s also your chance to accessorise in a stylish and fun way. Browse Baby Angel nursery lighting range and choose from toadstool lamps, penguin lamps, dinosaur lamps, flower lamps, the man in the moon lamps and more.

Nightlights give you enough light to check on baby, feed, change and comfort your baby back to sleep. Crucially it quickly helps you to find that elusive dummy! A fun design will keep baby amused and make them feel secure in the middle of the night.

String lights are a fun way to accessorise a nursery, child’s bedroom or playroom.

Lamps should be safely positioned away from the edges of shelves and tables and trailing flexes hidden from sight. Babies love to pull trailing flexes and toddlers will want to fiddle with the switches. Remember to put socket safety covers on any sockets not being used. If unused sockets within reach of them in bed, you might want to consider getting an electrician to put a blanking plate on it.
