How to Use Lighting Effectively

Moroccan Pink Pendant

One of the least expensive and most effective ways to either transform or heighten the look of your room is through making careful decisions about how you incorporate lighting into your home décor. Different kinds of rooms call for different types of lighting – for example, the soft, restful glow of a 60W bulb might be perfect for the bedroom or nursery, but in the bathroom you want a bright, clear view of yourself that makes daylight-level lights & lights with multiple options in terms of wattage desirable. Aside from the quality of the light itself, the appearance of a lighting fixture can have an effect on the style of the room.

Children’s rooms need several different types of lights in order to cater to each of a child’s different needs. During the daytime, you’re likely to want an overhead light – perhaps set into one of our ceiling fixtures, or combined with a ceiling fan. These lights offer great visibility from a single light source, while fans can help cut down on the cost of air conditioning a room in the summertime. In the evening, as you help coax your child to sleep, a floor or table lamp can help bring light – and energy – levels lower. Either of these can be decorated by a number of shades, which can be great money savers if you just need to redo a few old lamp bases.

Once your child is ready for bed, you can look to some of the adorable night lights available at Rosenberry Rooms, finding adorable designs like the Frog Friends Nightlight or a Jellybean Tree Nightlight. These cute, creative nightlights cast a warm and cheerful glow over your child’s room at night, chasing away nightmares and helping your child ease off into their nightly slumber.

On The Road Again Lamp

Children’s rooms aren’t the only ones that can be transformed through light! One of the most popular places for hanging ceiling fixtures is in the dining room, where children and adults alike can admire an ornate piece as it hangs above. Look for fun pieces like the Posey Teapot Five Arm Chandelier or the Cole Double Drum Pendant Chandelier if you’re looking to decorate a more public space in the house, while a child’s playroom can be dressed up with the Clouds Overhead Light Fixture, which also goes great in a newborn’s nursery.

Although it may seem like an afterthought, including a well-designed and carefully-chosen ceiling medallion in your plans when you add new light fixtures to your rooms can help make a bare bulb look like it’s been there forever. Call on our Floral Wreath Ceiling Medallion in White, the Pink Rose Jeweled Ceiling Medallion, the more traditional Large Lauderdale Ceiling Medallion in White and many other possible selections. Each ceiling medallion displays a subtle difference from the next, allowing you to customize and change this aspect of your room’s lighting and home décor!

Butterfly RockerGirls can find all kinds of ways to express themselves – with your help, your daughter can even make her room her canvas!

Whether you outfit her room from floor to ceiling with one motif, or you choose to blend the terrific and colorful room decorations available from Rosenberry Rooms, your daughter will find her new room to be the perfect place for her to relax, unwind, and explore her imagination.

Butterflies:
Bugs might not be the first idea that pops to mind when thinking about popular themes for girls’ rooms, but Butterflies certainly can be! Decorating a girl’s room with butterflies can remind her that even the most awkward of humble caterpillars eventually bursts from its cocoon with radiant wings, such as Payton Ballerina Clockthose pictured in a Flying Butterflies Rug, or the whimsical creatures that dance across the Butterflies Overhead Light Fixture. If she’s a reader, help her prop her books between Butterfly Bookends – and if she’s not, try to tempt her toward reading with them instead! Step-up-stools and Butterfly Rockers can help your daughter’s room become a place where she can play, as well.

Ballerina:
Help your daughter start thinking about her career ambitions with a Ballerina themed room. From bedding sets such as the gorgeous Ballerina set by Doodlefish to clocks and even dolls, there are plenty of sweet and pretty touches to layer into her everyday life. Help your daughter keep her room clean with a Toe Shoes Storage Bin, and let her enjoy curling up to read in her Painted Ballerina Iron Bed by the light of her Ballerina Fairy Frog Lamp. Whether she dances in thBlue Ribbon Framed Arte third-grade recital or as the star of Swan Lake, a room full of ballet mementos will always give her fond memories.

Horses:
So many girls love animals, and the old joke about every princess wanting a pony can be brought to life with our Horses theme bedroom décor. Horse Easy-Stick Wall Art Stickers let your daughter take the lead in decorating her walls; creative expression is critical for girls at a young age, and both these and other delightful items, such as the Pony Plush Pillow Purse will give her hours of fun. Tables and chairs, stuffed animals and stunning artistic pieces for the wall all offer ways to bring these fine four-legged animals into both a girl’s bedroom and her heart. There are amazing options for beds – for babies, toddlers, and even older girls – that are heirloom quality to last for years!

If you plan to use one of these popular themes for girls’ rooms in your own home, make planning the renovation a family affair. Give your daughter the chance to make her mark on her bedroom, and she’ll be ready to make her mark in life, at any age, no matter where she goes.

Create An Amazing Sports-Themed Room

If you want your kids to be active throughout their lives, making sure they become accustomed to sports and fitness early on can be a key factor in accomplishing your goal. For boys (and girls), sports-themed bedrooms can help them feel at home on the hockey rink, soccer pitch, or football field!

Sports IronPutting together a sports-themed room requires a few vital components: a bed – such as the Sports Iron Bed or a crib – like the Multi Sports Finial Crib, comfy kids-sized furniture, a rug and other essentials like bedding are just a few of these. Once you’ve put together the basics, finding wall coverings and artwork – not tAll Star Sports Toy Boxo mention decor details – to match your theme might prove difficult, particularly if you’re not checking out everything we offer at Rosenberry Rooms.

The key to creating a room where your child feels safe and happy is in working with them to select pieces that remind them of all the fun things they’ve done through the day. A child who feels comfortable and happy at night is less likely to resist being told it’s time to go to sleep! Be sure to keep your kids actively engaged in the progress of their room so that it is a personal experience for them as well. When your son is done playing, encourage him to tidy up his room with the All Star Sports Toy Box Bench, which has a chalk scoreboard to help fire up your child’s imagination. Another great tool for keeping your boy’s belongings in place is an All Star Sports Clothestand And Growth Chart – which comes with the added bonus of being able to track how his height changes over time! It’s great when little boys’ minds are as actiAll Star Sportsve as their bodies (and vice versa), so make sure your son exercises his brain on a regular basis by setting him up with the All Star Sports Revolving Bookcase, a terrific system for storing books and saving space while maintaining a good-sized collection of books and other types of reading material.

No room would be complete without some artwork on the walls, and a sports-tSports Basketballhemed bedroom for your son (or daughter) is no different. Decorate your child’s room with a few pieces of well-selected high-quality artwork, then let them decorate with additional pieces. Let’s not forget Dressers and Armoires that offer classy and interesting storage solutions for clothing and toys. Another easy way to add to the overall theme of the room is to transform the lighting in your child’s room with the help of a few key pieces from our collection!

Whether your son wants to be the next Babe Ruth or the champion of John Madden’s next football video game release, supporting his interests with a fun, funky room that includes terrific designs and interesting, high-quality decorative pieces can only help increase his love of sports and fitness. In a country where parents hear increasingly disheartening stories about childhood obesity and poor health, fostering your child’s love of activity in every way is something to be admired – just like your son’s sports-themed room will be once you bring together all the unique themed pieces we offer here at Rosenberry Rooms!
