In light of the changes brought by the pandemic, your home office is now more than just a place to work.. However, being at home also means there’s more distractions that may hinder your productivity. As you spend more time working in your home office, now is the best time to revamp it and integrate smart home solutions that could boost your efficiency.

When revamping your workspace, take into consideration the most essential aspect of all: lighting!

Lighting is a pivotal factor when designing any room, much more something as functional as your home office. Poorly lit rooms not only look bad but also hurt your eyesight. Lighting a home office requires a different approach than a commercial office, but the principle is the same: you should have ample light to see what you’re doing without straining your vision.

Playing with the angles

It’s not a good idea to rely on just one source of light in a room. Though you have natural light during the day, you should still have more sources of light to prevent eye strain, especially if you’re looking at computer screens and gadgets all day. Be sure to angle your screen against the natural light to prevent glares. You can also position your desk in such a way that you won’t have to deal with shadows falling over your work during the day.

Layering light

Putting more layers of light in the room can enhance its functionality. There’s ambient lighting for the base, which could be natural light. Then there’s the task light which helps you focus; a desk lamp will do well as a task light, and placing it behind your laptop screen can help you avoid eye strain. The accent lighting is like the cherry on top, highlighting the art or architecture of your space.
