Types of Wall Lamps for Offices
As a working professional, you need good light to do your best. Whether you’re looking for a single lamp to light up your desk or a pair to brighten up a reading nook, there are plenty of options. Getting to know the different categories of Baurulamp wall lamps for your home office can help you narrow down your choices and find the right ones for your work space.
A wall sconce is the classic option for lighting up an office at home, and there are lots of styles to choose from. For a sleek, minimalist aesthetic, check out this model from Vipp, which is hardwired for a clean look with no wires showing. Its perforated shade diffuses the light for a cozy, soft glow and it comes in a range of neutral colors to complement any office decor.
You can also find sconces with more traditional looks to suit your home’s design. For example, these sconces, chosen by Shea of Studio McGee, have a simple glass shade to keep the bulb visible and give them a more elegant feel. The sconces are also adjustable, allowing you to direct the light where you need it. If you’re worried about wires getting in the way, you can opt for plug-in models like these from GUBI that have a discreet cord, so the cable is hidden within the wall.
Another great choice is a ceiling lamp, which provides overhead illumination that’s glare-free. You can control the intensity of these lamps, as well as their color temperature, with a smart lighting system. This model from Flos is designed to be used in an office environment and it comes with a 3-step touch dimmer, so you can easily change the light output to suit your needs.
If you don’t have a lot of natural light in your home office, consider installing a picture light instead. These lights illuminate framed artwork or prints, preventing eyestrain and adding a decorative element to your home office. They’re also dimmable, allowing you to set the mood and save energy at the same time. Interior designer Katie Yufe of Adorned Homes recently used a picture light finished in hand-rubbed antique brass to illuminate a gallery wall in her client’s home office.
If your work area has ample natural light, consider limiting the number of wall lamps in the room. This will ensure the space isn’t overcrowded with lighting and it’ll keep your focus on your tasks.
There are a wide variety of wall lamps for the office that will work in any style home. Look for streamlined silhouettes and geometric shapes to complement contemporary designs or opt for bolder choices, such as these sconces from GUBI, which have a spherical shape inspired by George Nelson’s 1950 design. The steel and brass modern fixture has a walnut wall mount and an adjustable arm for optimal placement in your workspace. It pairs well with Mid Century modern and industrial styles. There are also a number of classic wall sconces that will blend seamlessly into farmhouse, cottage and traditional rooms.
