General home office lighting
Choosing the best lighting for the office is important as it stops you from getting tired too quickly or unnecessarily. For the general lighting in your office, we’d recommend a ceiling pendant that provides even and diffused light distribution but isn’t too bright or intense.
Creating ambience in the home office
If you’re lucky enough to have a dedicated home office, you may also want to create a comfortable atmosphere, which can be helped with good lighting.
Placing a table lamp on the windowsill or on a shelf or sideboard can help to add another light source making the room more comfortable to be in for long periods of time.
Home Office Lighting FAQ
What type of lighting is best for a home office?
When choosing home office lighting, the right amount of brightness is key. You'll want your lights to adapt to your needs throughout the day. You can achieve this by layering your home office lights.
You can use overhead lights as a foundation for ambient lighting. Choose warm-colored bulbs, around 3000K, so your office will appear well-lit without looking too harsh.
After selecting ambient lighting sources, add task and accent lights for a layered home office lighting solution. Task lights might include a desk lamp for working at your desk or a floor lamp placed near an armchair. Your accent lights can include a wall sconce to highlight your artwork or lights placed on a bookshelf to draw attention to your favorite books.
Is a desk lamp or an overhead light better for office work?
Both desk lamps and overhead lighting provide benefits in your home office.
If you make frequent video calls, consider lighting that provides extra visibility to your video by placing a desk lamp nearby or an LED light above your monitor, angled toward you. These choices are key to avoiding shadows in your video. A desk lamp is also helpful when working on paperwork.
As part of your home office lighting, overhead lights should provide a foundation of ambient lighting of low to medium brightness to avoid straining your eyes while working at a screen. Combining a desk lamp for task lighting and overhead lights for ambient lighting makes your home office a pleasant place to work.
How can I reduce glare on my computer screen?
Natural lighting is a great option when considering your home office lighting options, but you don't want to end up with glare on your computer screen or be completely dependent on the weather or time of day. Having a dimmer switch for overhead lights and a desk lamp for task lighting can help you respond to changes in natural light in your home office. The desk lamp should be perpendicular to your monitor to minimize glare and reflections.
