Go for task lighting

Keep your home office area well illuminated with specific task lighting fitted above

Here's how to get the look:

  • Stylish ceramic clamp lights like these are great for areas where you work or read - simply clip them where you need most light.

  • Two clamp lights are better than one - they don't take up too much space and give you greater flexibility.

  • If you don't have shelves to clip lights onto, use a side lamp or an Anglepoise to add light to the work area.

  • If you have dark walls, keep the furniture and flooring light for an airy feel.

Shop for the look:
SCP
Pergo Flooring
Heal's
