The Importance of Office Lighting
Whether you use a home office or a larger communal space, lighting is crucial to ensure you are making the most of your time. Sufficient lighting helps improve productivity, optimises comfort and ensures the safety of you and others. By choosing the right lighting for your office you can successfully enhance the atmosphere and create a workspace that you are proud of.
Your office lighting has a direct impact on your mood, energy level, and productivity. Lighting that is too dim or too warm will result in you feeling tired and unmotivated. On the other hand, lighting that is too bright will be hard on your eyes, even resulting in headaches.
We have put together a detailed guide on how to choose the right office lighting for you, the best applications and how to style different fittings.
How to Choose Office Lighting
The office lighting you decide upon will ultimately fall down to the size and layout of your space, the amount of natural light already available to you, your budget and your personal style. There are various lighting solutions that can be used to illuminate your office and in turn, generate an inviting and functional environment.
Ideally, you should aim for lighting solutions that aren't too warm and actively prevent glare to provide comfort. If you have a vast amount of natural lighting, an you only work during daylight hours, you may not require task lighting, filling your space with accent lighting instead - whereas for interiors that lack natural light larger task lighting solutions will be ideal.
Applications that provide directional lighting are perfect for office spaces, for example, table lamps or wall lights that are fitted with an adjustable head, offering you the ability to focus the illumination where you need it most. For larger spaces, a dramatic linear pendant adds a stylish touch to offices, or for workspaces that require as much desk space as possible, wall lights are a perfect addition.

Different Types of Office Lighting
There are three main lighting applications for offices:
The lighting application you choose for your office will depend on your needs; for larger desk spaces a classic table lamp can be ideal, for communal office spaces pendants can bring the space together and for more compact work areas wall lights or clip lamps can be a great way to save space without compromising on style.
We are here to guide you through the varying applications as well as their benefits and even how to style them!

Table & Desk Lamps
One of the most popular lighting solutions for offices and workspaces, table lamps are incredibly versatile and create a pleasant working space whilst preventing eye strain and headaches. When it comes to placement, a table lamp should be positioned in a way that allows light to be evenly distributed across your work area, ensuring you’re not having to work in your own shadow.
Table lamps are exceptional task lights, helping to focus your attention on what you’re doing by zoning your workspace and helping you quickly get into the flow. You are able to escape into your own bubble of light, shutting out the rest of the world and harnessing your productivity. Another bonus of this application is their lack of installation, table lamps and desk lamps are the easiest way to update your lighting, you can easily plug them in and instantly enjoy their illumination.
Modern table lamps combine functionality with style, illuminating your desk and making the space much more appealing. Some popular choices in this category are Anglepoise, Artemide and Flos.

Pendants
Pendant lights are a more creative way to brighten up your office and are a type of lighting that has gained more popularity over the years. Pendants provide an even dispersion of light, thanks to their suspended form they reach a wider radius than that of table or floor lamps. For this reason, they are a beautiful addition over desktops or in larger communal office spaces or conference rooms. Pendants add a touch of modernity and class to your space and are often found in offices where aesthetics are paramount.
Linear pendants are a beautiful way to provide maximum illumination, and by selecting a dimmable lamp you can easily adjust the output to suit your needs depending on how you work. This means your luminaire can provide brighter practical task lighting during the day and more calming ambient lighting during late evening work sessions or during the winter months.

Wall Lights
Wall lights are a particularly good lighting solution for offices where desk space is sparse. They can be used as well as or instead of other task lighting solutions, and with many wall lamps offering adjustable heads you can easily direct the illumination where it is needed - these lights can be cleverly positioned near or behind your workspace to provide direct task lighting.
While table lamps and suspended downlighting are often essential, you shouldn't rely solely on them for adequate office lighting. Consider layering your lighting applications by placing wall lights alongside your desk, installed at varying heights from your table lamps to create a cohesive interior and allow for flexibility for your lights. Some popular brands for office wall lighting include Artemide, Lodes and Luceplan.
