home office Lighting Design Dilemma

Help with office lighting

4 years ago

I want to replace the fixtures in my husbands office. There are two flush mounts. How do I coordinate them and keep it bright enough?There are no high hats. I can find fixtures with multiple bulbs for over his desk, but the coordinating fixtures for the entry to his office just have a single bulb which doesn’t have enough lumens to light the space. Help!

I'm sorry but both of those areas look well lit. He needs task lighting, overhead lighting will just create shadows, He needs a good desk lamp. Now if you are replacing them because you dont like them, there are literally 10000's of choices so find the one you like for the office and then go about looking around for one that works with it for the hall.............

I have been trying to learn as much about lighting as I can lately. I need to sort out how to light our home office, which I will be working in every day. I've attached the layout here and labelled the relevant parts. Here's my thought so far: take the recessed light that seems to more or less just light the closet area and move the switch for it closer to the closet. For the main switch, put a pendant with diffused light near the middle of the room. Use a couple of table lamps on the desk, as well as some task lighting there.
