White Lamps & Lighting

What kind of lighting do I need for the office?

When selecting lighting solutions for the workplace, shoppers should gravitate toward types of light that promote focus and productivity. Generally, office lighting uses “cooler” types of light to cultivate wakefulness and energy, including “blue” or “white” shades of lighting. Office lights tend to be somewhat bright, although customers should be wary of installing intense lighting that may cause discomfort to colleagues.

In the context of an office, desk and floor lamps provide important opportunities for workers to customize the light in their personal work environments. Accordingly, businesses might be wise to invest in lamps with options to adjust color temperature and brightness, empowering employees to create their own comfort in the workplace.

What kind of lighting do I need at home?

While home lighting should reflect the preferences and needs of each individual or family, some general guidelines might be helpful for shoppers. Home lighting is typically “warmer” than office lighting, using more gentle, golden shades than office settings. However, because homes accommodate so many different kinds of activities (from homework to movie nights and more), adjustable lighting options are always a nice touch.

Home office lighting requires a slightly different approach than other rooms because focus and productivity are clear priorities. Task lighting (such as desk or floor lamps to ease the strain on eyes when typing or reading) is often essential to transforming a domestic space into a remote workplace. Additionally, many shoppers prefer modern lighting solutions for home offices, such as sleek lamps that might seem too minimalistic elsewhere in the home.

What are some of the most popular lighting styles?

While contemporary lighting is a top-selling style, modern lamps and lighting installations are not the only stylish options. In fact, vintage lighting can add character to a room, injecting an unremarkable space with real personality. For example, midcentury modern lighting is renowned for its creativity, including light fixtures that are illuminating and eye-catching.

Farmhouse lighting is also very much in style, with a rustic-chic that can soften and elevate any room. This page’s lighting selection includes these and other style options, giving every customer a chance to get their lighting just right.
