Thank you for talking about light! It’s the biggest “bug in my butt” in my home office. I have these two great windows I’d love to look out of, but my larg corner desk has me facing away from them! I need to draw a new floor plan out on paper then move things around. Thanks for the inspiration!

I loved that you tackled lighting! I was taught that there are three types of lighting. You need all three in every room:

General
It illuminates the space, but it is usually not sexy.
Usually “the bright thing on the ceiling”

Task
It sounds like what it is. Use it for reading and working.

Ambient
It sets the mood and adds glow to your space.
Certain lights are almost always ambient: up lights, down lights, sconces, over and under cab lights. Really any light can be ambient with a dimmer.

My home office is definitely too dark. I have two windows, but typically keep the blinds closed. The sun causes glare on my computer screen. I have a ceiling light with energy-saving bulbs. You're right. It's like a tomb. I'll begin to brighten things up by digging a desk lamp out of storage. Thanks for the nudge! All About Foods last blog post..Simple comfort, no wok required
