Today I’m sharing a few tips for creating the perfect lighting for various work spaces. Whether your a student, crafter, reader, traveler, beauty lover or have a desk space that needs lighting today’s post might will help you find your perfect lighted space. Bonus, there is a giveaway (5 readers will win an OttLite lamp, plus one for a friend!) and discount shared later in this post.
We were lacking the perfect lighting for our daughter Sammie to study in. Her room is only lit with a ceiling fan light that we purchased when she was little. Now, being in high school her needs are different. Having to study all the time she’s wanting a quite space that is organized and well lit. We had the chance to order a light to fit her needs.
There were many choices but, we narrowed it down by finding a desk lamp specific to her needs from OttLite. They have a lot of great choices but, let me share why we loved our choice and how you can create your own perfectly lit living / workspace.
Lighting Tips For Creating The Perfect Workspace
- Find the space you need the most lighting help (get specific and focus on specific needs-see list later in post)
- Choose the lighting that has options that you will use consistently
- Pick lighting that helps you;
- See fine print and details clearly
- Shows colors accurately
- Reduces glare and eyestrain
- Energy efficient and long lasting
My daughter Sammie’s room is rather dark with the exception of the early morning hours. Do you have rooms like that? With the time change it really makes it so dark early too! Not great for creating the perfect school / work space, reading or crafting spaces, right? See how it’s changed her space.
