Natural Light

Overhead Options

Overhead lighting is a good option for people who don’t have the luxury of more natural sources, but be aware that they can present headache and migraine triggers. These issues can stem from glare off computer screens, glare from incandescent lighting, and flicker from florescent lighting. Thankfully, there are ways to work with overhead lighting that can help prevent issues before they start.

Desk Lamps

Desk lamps can help to fill in areas where more light is needed, and they also offer a good alternative for those times when you would like the office to be more subdued. The truly fun thing about desk lamps is that they also afford an opportunity for you to really show off your style and personality. An antique desk lamp works for some, while others might prefer something more unique.

Regardless of your office layout, make sure you consider the benefits of offering the best possible lighting sources that the space allows. You might not have access to all the options we’ve suggested, but you need to be aware of making the most of what you’ve got. Otherwise, you can always go back to the dark ages and use candles.
