5 Desk Lamps you Need for Your Home Office

Posted by Maisie Yerkess on

Lighting undeniably plays an important role in any room of your home, but in a home office, it’s especially important. Adding the correct lighting not only brightens up your workspace, but enhances the overall ambiance of the environment. In other words, it also has the power to brighten your mood too. And who doesn’t need a little of that on tough work days?

The Importance of a Good Desk Lamp in Your Home Office 

 

Even in an office, here at Silver Mushroom, we simply do not love a ‘big light’. But, when work needs to be done, an overly dim room can halt productivity. Proper lighting can reduce eye-strain, increase focus, and boost your efficiency. Enter the desk lamp. The perfect diffusion of light, with a guided focal glow. Whether you’re pulling an all-nighter or in need of a well lit space for zoom calls, the right desk lamp can make all the difference. With that in mind, let’s dive in and find you your new home office desk lamp.

LED Desk Lamps

 

LED lighting is favoured by many due to their undeniable benefits, making them a perfect choice your home office.

Hoxton LED Desk Lamp in Black

 

Hoxton LED Desk Lamp - Black

The Hoxton LED Desk Lamp in Black is a beautifully simple piece with an elegant touch. Crafted from steel, this LED desk lamp is finished in striking vintage black. The clear cylinder shade enhances its vintage charm, and the exposed seamlessly fits into an industrial-inspired or masculine home office.

Axel Dome LED Desk Lamp - Nickel

The Axel Dome LED Desk Lamp in Nickel is both timeless and beautifully sophisticated. Thoughtfully built from high quality iron, and finished in striking nickel, this lamp exudes classic charm. Its glass dome shade, like the Hoxton, showcases the exposed bulb, adding a vintage flair that fits into both traditional and contemporary home offices. 

Axel Dome LED Desk Lamp - Antique Bronze

Thanks to its darker finish, the Axel Dome LED Desk Lamp in Antique Bronze has all the same charm, but a slightly more masculine allure. For a cohesive, industrial look, style this classic LED desk lamp against other black accented decor pieces. 

Vintage Inspired Desk Lamps 

Bratton Vintage Black Desk Lamp

The beauty of a vintage inspired desk lamp lies in its versatility, styling beautifully into a wide range of home decor styles. Crafted with durable iron, the Bratton Vintage Black Desk Lamp has a charming aged finish. Unlike the other LED desk lamps we've seen already, the Bratton features a larger iron shade, making it a striking focal point in your home office. 

Factory Antique Coal Desk Lamp

Much like the Bratton Desk Lamp, this striking lamp will take centre stage in your home office. The Factory Antique Coal Desk Lamp features a large shade, and adjustable knuckle, meaning it can be altered to your ideal height. 

Choosing Your Desk Lamp 

 

When finally choosing your desk lamp, there are few important things to keep in mind. Consider which metals, if any, you'd like as an accent in your space - do you want to mix metals and finishes? Or stick to one throughout? Next think about if your desk lamp will be a focal point on your desk, or something more subtle. This will also be dependent on the size of your office desk and the space you'd be willing to take up. Finally, it's time to choose your desk lamp. And remember, particularly if you work from home, you're going to spend a lot of time staring at this lamp, so choose wisely. No matter which you choose, investing in a good quality desk lamp will always benefit you in the long run.
