Nursery Lighting Ideas

Designing and decorating a nursery, in my opinion, is so much fun. The possibilities are endless! One of the most important features in a nursery is the lighting. There are hundreds of options out there to decide between. Of course, I couldn’t round up all of them, so instead I created this short list of nursery lighting ideas to get your creative juices flowing!

Ceiling Fan + Lights

While not exactly glamorous or eye catching, ceiling fans with a light kit are my top choice to install in bedrooms. We run our ceiling fans year round, so from a practical standpoint, it makes sense to use it as lighting in the nursery. I’ve noticed trends within ceiling fans, if that’s even a thing, where they are now more interesting looking. The crystal light feature in this fan is gorgeous! $338, Wayfair.com

If a ceiling fan isn’t important to you, a pendant light in the center of the nursery is a beautiful feature. Depending on the desired theme – modern, vintage, industrial, whimsical, and so on – there is a pendant light to match! Here are a few of my favorites:

Orb Pendant from The Land of Nod, $200

Chandeliers

My dream design for my daughter’s nursery includes a sparkly, glitzy, glamorous, beautiful chandelier. Is there any other feature that screams “girly girl” like a chandelier? Here are a few of my favorites:

Floor and Table Lamps

Sometimes, ceiling lights aren’t the best way to illuminate a nursery. They can be really bright, which isn’t preferred in the middle of the night! When it comes to those late night feedings and diaper changes, I prefer a floor or table lamp that lightly shines. Here’s some fun lamps I love:

Fillsta Table Lamp from Ikea, $15
