While lighting is an often-overlooked part of a space, the right lighting can have a tremendous impact on the overall look and feel of a room. It can also impact your mood, helping you to feel more alert, awake, and motivated.
A study by the Light Right Consortium found that people who are more satisfied with their lighting rate the space as more attractive. They’re also happier, and are more comfortable and satisfied with their environment and work.
Ensuring that there is adequate lighting in your home office is important. Here are three ways that you can achieve optimal lighting in your space.
Natural Lighting
Whenever possible, opt for natural lighting –the best possible source of light. If you have a window that makes natural lighting available, invest in some high quality window treatments that make it easy to adjust the level of light that filters into the room. You should also arrange your office furniture to take advantage of the natural light. Working with your side to the light may be the best option, since directly facing a bright, open window may be too bright, and positioning your back to the sun can cause screen glare.
