"The right furnishings for a teenager's room play a very important role, as it's not just furniture and plants that are important here, but also the lighting. It is the first place of their own where memories are made and where young people express their emotions. This room changes as the children get older and naturally develops just like the person themselves."
The well-being of young people
A teenagers' room is an important space for young people as it is their personal retreat and helps them to express their identity and personality.
It is a place where they can discover and live out their own interests and hobbies. The design of a teenager's room is therefore of great importance as it helps young people to feel comfortable and safe in their own space.
A well-designed teenage bedroom should not only be functional, but also aesthetically pleasing and inspiring.
An important factor in the design of a teenager's room is the choice of furniture and accessories. It is important that the room meets the teenager's needs and creates a pleasant atmosphere.
A desk a bookshelf and a comfortable bed are basic pieces of furniture that should not be missing in a teenager's room. In addition, the choice of colors and patterns is of great importance. Teenagers tend to prefer vibrant colors and interesting patterns that reflect their personality. A well-chosen rug, cushions and curtains can make the room even cozier.
Another important aspect to consider when designing a teenager's room is functionality. Teenagers spend a lot of time in their room, so the furniture and furnishings should be tailored to their needs. Storage space, lighting and electronics are important aspects that should be taken into account.
It is a space where they can express themselves and pursue their interests.
From changing room to teen's room
While adults use their various rooms such as study , kitchen , hobby room, dressing room and bedroom the teenager's room combines all these rooms.
In general, it can be said that a central ceiling lighting makes sense in any case and should never be dispensed with.
The ideal solution is of course a dimmable light so that you can decide for yourself what brightness is required at what time of day.
Soft and diffuse light is ideal for teenagers' rooms as it does not cast any shadows. Teenagers and children often move around on the floor. The room should therefore be illuminated with uniform brightness.
Nowadays we would rather use ceiling spotlights as they create glare in the eye and divide the room into different lighting zones between light and dark - thus visually reducing and compressing the room.
In addition, it can generally be said that light in a teenager's room causes young people (we are assuming people aged 10 to 18 here) to develop emotions and move into different emotional states.
The advantages of indirect lighting
An important advantage of indirect lighting in a teenager's room is that it creates a soft and calming atmosphere. Unlike direct lighting, which can often be harsh and dazzling, indirect lighting in a teenager's room creates a soft, warm and inviting light.
This is particularly important in a teenager's room as it gives young adults a feeling of relaxation and security.
Another advantage of indirect lighting in a teenager's room is that it makes the room appear larger and more spacious. By directing the light towards the walls or ceiling, you can eliminate shadows and corners of the room that make the room feel uncomfortable and cramped.
This is particularly useful in a small teenager's room where every inch of space is important. Indirect lighting in a teenager's room is also a great way to create a personalized mood or atmosphere.
You can experiment with different colors, light intensities and directions to create the mood you want.
For example, warm yellow lighting can create a cozy and inviting atmosphere in the room, while cool blue lighting can have a relaxing and calming effect. Another advantage of indirect lighting in a teenager's room is that it is energy efficient.
Compared to direct lighting systems, indirect lighting uses less energy and can help to reduce electricity bills. In addition, many indirect lighting systems are long-lasting and require little maintenance. Overall, there are many advantages of indirect lighting in the youth room.
From creating a soft and calming atmosphere to improving the feel of the room and energy efficiency, this type of lighting is a great way to enhance the space.
So if you're looking to redesign your children's teenage bedroom, you should definitely consider indirect lighting.
The surfaces should be recognizable
To create a safe environment in which young people feel comfortable, you should pay particular attention to the surface lighting in the room.
Not only the brightness, but also the color temperature and the arrangement of the light play a decisive role here.
As in the baby's room, you should of course ensure that young people's freedom of movement in the room is not restricted.
In conventional children's and teenagers' rooms, there is already enough furniture in the room that is placed on the floor - such as the desk, bed, closet, side table or toys in the appropriate storage space - so that in the best case scenario, the floor should not also be filled with lights.
Our recommendations:
- Warm white light
- 2700-3300 Kelvin
- LED lighting
- 100-150 lumens per square meter
- Indirect light
- Timeless, classic colors (eye-catchers and splashes of color with colored LED strips, colored light sources or silver and gold luminaires)
We would always recommend indirect lighting as it is timeless and elegant. Through for example LED stripswhich indirectly illuminate the ceilings, for example, can create enough even and bright light in the room.
By indirectly illuminating the ceiling in the youth room, the room is enlarged and stretched thanks to the large reflective surface on the ceiling.
Making it easier to fall asleep
To sleep disorders and anxiety in the dark, you should use dimmable lights in your teen's room to help them feel safe at night. orientation and not have to be afraid.
In addition to a classic bedside lamp or a dimmable ceiling light you can also use a exciting looking wall light that will fascinate lighting effects stores.
Due to the s.luce Cloud wall light, which is particularly flat and therefore definitely suitable as a space-saving in the youth room, its particularly soft and glare-free light makes it ideal for a youth room.
The surface design of this luminaire is, as with most of our s.luce products, individual to our customers customizable.
To get a eye-catcher in the children's room you can, for example, use the golden or silver surface. The Cloud wall light can also be fitted with a mirror as a surface.
Thanks to the smooth surface, you can also easily pimp and decorate it with your favorite paint or with great foils with great foils.
Thanks to the energy-saving LED technology, you can easily leave the light on all night to make dreaming easier.
It is also ideal for control via remote control. This means that the children don't have to get up and can determine the brightness of their room themselves.
Another great way to regulate the light is the smart control system, which also offers a wide range of options (such as Amazon Alexa).
To help them fall asleep and generally improve the brightness in the room, you can also install LED strips on the walls of the teenager's room, which brighten up the surrounding areas and can also be controlled at night.
By attaching the LED strips to the wall, you can also create a kind of "orientation line" to optimize the route to the toilet at night, for example.
Light that promotes concentration
As children get older, and as they grow older, they are on an ever-increasing educational level the right lighting becomes more and more important at the place of learning or, in childhood, at the place of handicrafts.
To prevent eye fatigue, bright and sufficient lighting is essential! The best choice for this is a desk lamp which can ideally also be adjusted.
Your teenager's desk should be positioned directly in front of the window or near the window to allow additional daylight into the room.
This means that young people can, for example, look at one of the light sources do without.
The bottom line on the right lighting in a teenager's room
Adequate lighting in a teenager's room is of great importance in order to create a comfortable and functional environment. Various light sources such as ceiling lights, table lamps or floor lamps can be used to achieve balanced lighting that meets the needs of the young person.
It is also important to adjust the light color and intensity according to the activities taking place in the room, such as reading, studying or relaxing.
