Children's room lighting: meet the lighting needs of children at different stages

As the child grows, different lights need to be installed in the children's room.In infancy, the light source is limited to babysitting activities. At this time, the lighting should be equipped with dimmers to dim the lights at night.

A bright enough lamp should be installed at the head of the child's bed to meet the needs of older children to read before going to bed, and the brightness of the light in front of the desk should also be suitable for children's reading, drawing and other activities.

When parents choose lamps for their children, most of them choose cute lamps.Since children are in the stage of growth and development, the choice of lamps should consider safety, whether the shape conforms to the psychological characteristics of children, etc., and the most important thing is to see whether the light source meets the needs of children.

Simple blinds can be installed in the children's room to block out light during the daytime rest.The lighting of the children's room should be combined with overall lighting and partial lighting. The overall lighting can create a dreamy light effect for the space, and the partial lighting can meet different lighting needs.

The shape and color of lamps should be full of interest to stimulate children's interest in learning.When the lamp is installed, the wires should not be exposed to avoid danger caused by children playing with the wires.The socket in the children's room cannot be caught by the child. It is best to choose a switch with a cover.In addition, multiple sockets should also be installed in the children's room to avoid overloading one power point to connect various electrical equipment.

Children's room furniture: choose furniture that grows with your child
Generally speaking, preschool children intuitively perceive the world through sensory stimulation such as color, shape, and sound. In their eyes, strong and bright solid colors can arouse their strong interest and help them understand what they are of the world.

It is best not to use large areas of glass and mirrors for the furniture in the children's room. The corners and handles of the furniture should not leave edges and sharp edges, and there should be no stumbling debris on the ground. Eliminate potential safety hazards.

Indoor furniture is also the object of children's play, so the bolts and screws in the combined furniture in the children's room should be firmly connected to prevent children from disassembling and assembling by themselves.

For children's room furniture, the easiest way is to buy a whole bed suitable for combining play and study, as well as closets and shelves.When the child is a little older, you can choose a bunk bed. The elevated platform bed is also a very interesting design. The space under the bed can be used for reading or leisure.For some younger children, you can consider L-shaped bunk beds.Parents need to pay special attention not to choose a toy rack that is too high. The height of the toy rack should be such that children can freely pick and place toys.Taller furniture should be bolted to the wall or the ground to prevent accidents.

Design principles for the elderly room: create a warm atmosphere for the elderly to enjoy their old age
Under normal circumstances, the layout of the elderly room is very simple. Often a bed and a wardrobe are all the contents of the elderly room.In fact, as far as the decoration of the elderly room is concerned, humanized design is very important, because the elderly are getting older and have many inconveniences in self-care.

For the elderly, a fluid space means that it is easier for them to walk and get things.In order to create a good activity space, the furniture in the elderly room should stand against the wall as much as possible, and the style of the furniture should be low to facilitate the elderly to pick and place items.Single-piece furniture and fixed furniture with good stability are the first choice for elderly room furniture.The design of the elderly room should be simple, with more fabric furniture and fewer home appliances, so as to create a larger space in the elderly room.In addition, the living room of the elderly also needs to increase natural lighting and maintain good ventilation.

Most of the elderly like to be quiet. The most basic requirement for the living room is that the doors, windows and walls have good sound insulation and are not affected by the outside world.You can place some books, newspapers and magazines that the old people love to read in the room, so that they can have fun and do something in their old age.The design of the elderly room also varies from person to person. For example, if there is an elderly person who loves to read at home, the room can be designed as a study; if the elderly have served in the military, it is best to configure some military-related accessories in the bedroom, such as sabers and war horses. Etc., can arouse old people's memories of the past.

The safety of the elderly room: choose safety materials to prevent accidents
No matter how good the physical condition of the elderly is, falling and other situations are still very dangerous for them.Water vapor will cause the floor to be slippery, so the bathroom has become the most accident-prone place for the elderly.The floor of the bathroom must choose non-slip materials. The bathroom floor paved with small pieces of mosaic is more non-slip than other materials.In addition, various non-slip mats can also be placed in the bathroom, which can be placed on the door of the bathroom, inside and outside the bathtub, etc.

The floor of the living room should also choose non-slip materials.If the smooth floor tiles or wooden floors are accidentally sprinkled with water, it is very easy for the elderly to slip and fall.For the elderly's room that has been laid with ordinary floor tiles or wooden floors, several decorative carpets can be purchased, which can not only beautify the space, but also ensure the safety of the elderly.

As they get older, the elderly have difficulty moving. In addition to the proper support of their family members, the auxiliary handrails installed on the wall have become a good helper for them.Handrails made of waterproof materials are installed on the side of the bathtub, on both sides of the toilet and washbasin, which can make life easier for the elderly with limited mobility.In addition, the installation of automatic flushing equipment on the toilet can save the elderly from the trouble of turning around to wipe, which is very practical for the elderly.If the elderly cannot stand for a long time, foldable seats can be installed along the wall in the shower area, which can not only save the energy of the elderly, but also save space when they are not in use.

Color matching for the elderly room: creating a clean living environment

The decoration of the elderly room should conform to their physical and psychological characteristics, and special attention should be paid to the psychological hint of color to the elderly when decorating.Generally, the elderly are weak, so it is best to choose light colors to create a clean atmosphere. Especially active colors will cause the elderly to accelerate their heart rate and blood pressure, so they are not suitable for use.

The elderly like to be quiet, so it is best to choose colors with low purity in color, and try to avoid colors that are easy to make people anxious, such as bright red and green.Most of the old people like plain walls, mainly white, and some old people prefer bright colors. In this case, you can use bright colors as embellishments, and try to avoid using them in large quantities.Generally speaking, the colors used in the elderly room are mainly warm colors.If the lighting is not very good, you can use beige to adjust the brightness, and some parts can be embellished with different colors or different materials.

One of the characteristics of the elderly is that they like to recall the past, so when choosing the color of the living room, they should emphasize simplicity and peace. The walls can be painted with pastel colors or pasted with wallpapers and wall coverings of various colors.The curtains of the elderly room can be made of jacquard cloth, brocade cloth and other materials. Their thick and elegant texture and pattern are suitable for the mature and stable characteristics of the elderly. Thick curtains can also create a quiet sleeping environment.It is best to divide the curtains into two layers of gauze curtains and brocade curtains, which can adjust the indoor brightness and protect the elderly from the stimulation of strong light. The color matching of shades is very suitable for the living room of the elderly.

Tablecloths, sofa towels, wall hangings and other colors are generally simple and solemn, and elegant and fresh decoration methods can also be used, but they should be in harmony with the overall tone of the room, and the patterns should also be simple.When decorating, it is necessary to fully meet the requirements of the elderly for the convenience of getting up and down, and to achieve a combination of practicality and beauty.Decorative items should not be too many or too miscellaneous, and it is best to use a straight line and parallel way.

Daylighting and lighting in the elderly room: creating a soft and bright indoor environment
The elderly room is preferably a sunny room, which can maximize the use of natural lighting, which can increase the sense of space in the room.The eyesight of the elderly is generally poor, so try to arrange the bedroom of the elderly on the sunny side, which can also give the elderly more time and opportunities to sit at home and enjoy the sunshine.

With the growth of age, the elderly generally wake up more frequently at night, and the eyesight of the elderly begins to decline, so the lighting design of the elderly room, especially the night lighting, is particularly important.The visual system of the elderly is generally difficult to accept too strong stimulation, so in the choice of lamps, it is necessary to use natural light as much as possible to create a soft and bright indoor environment for the elderly, and the intensity of the light used at night should be moderate.

In terms of lighting, you can choose some ceiling lamps or sheepskin lamps with Chinese style.Pendant lamps with complex shapes can easily make the elderly feel unstable and insecure.The elderly generally do not like direct sunlight, so it is best not to use downlights, spotlights and other lights that directly stimulate the retina. Generally, choose diffuse light sources or desk lamps with no bulbs.Crystal lamps are prone to dizziness for the elderly, so it is best not to use them.The switch control is preferably closer to the head of the bed, which is convenient for the elderly to operate.
