With so many fun lamp shade designs for kid’s today, it’s easy to forget that lamps are needed for light as much as for their decorating potential!

In truth, a lamp is one of the most important things to think about when planning a child’s room. It lessens their fear of the dark, illuminates their homework and flatters their appearance in the mirror. Today, with back-lit computers, video games, phones and other gadgets, a lamp has an even bigger job to do - lessening the contrast between a dark room and a lighted gadget, a major source of eye strain in children and adults.
