When it comes to lighting in a kids room, table and task lamps are one of the most functional solutions. Of course it doesn’t eliminate the need for a ceiling light, or a night light, or even a wall sconce in some spaces, but a table lamp can be useful for giving off the perfect glow on a side table or dresser. We’ve rounded up some of our favourites below; many you’ve seen used in rooms we’ve already shared and a few in rooms to come!

When thinking about lamps for kids rooms, consider the direction of light. You wouldn’t want a bright light shining straight into your child’s face, so think of lighting that directs downwards (like the one above) or is filtered with a shade (like the one below).

A larger more substantial lamp can be used in a kids room, playroom or even a living room if you are looking for lighting that will last you through the years. While I always suggest using wood or metal lamps on side tables in kids’ spaces (to avoid breakage), a ceramic lamp on a dresser seems to stay intact if it is solid enough not to be tipped over.
