Lighting

Lighting plays a huge role in any space but when it comes to your workspace your choice of lighting is going to help you relax, avoid eye strain and stay productive.

Task lighting, as the name suggests is directional lighting that is used to help users perform a required job such as working at a computer, writing and reading. Desk lamps are a popular source of functional task lighting and offer a direct, intense light.

We recommend a lamp with an adjustable arm and shade like the British classic Anglepoise Type 75 or Artemide Tolomeo. These lamps allow you to direct light where it is needed whilst also providing shade to protect your eyes from overwhelming glare.

When it comes to mood lighting, we’re big fans of dimmable lamps that, much in the same way as candles, can create a relaxing atmosphere in your space. The Menu JWDA with its neutral concrete base and diffused, dimmable light is a great example. Portable lamps such as the Carrie Lamp are also great as they allow you to use the same light source in different areas of your house (so you don’t need to purchase multiple lamps).

Try using a dimmable table / floor lamp in your breakout space to encourage relaxation and calm.
