Here are five points to consider when lighting an office for your home workspace. In general, it’s best to have natural light in front of or next to work surfaces and computer screens to avoid glare and maximize your outside views. You can also position your workstation facing north or south so that the sunlight doesn’t throw a shadow at any point in the day. To accommodate varying levels of brightness during the day, solar shades soften and reduce the heat without compromising the light and view. You can also try a simple blind or even a standing screen, which will do a nice job of diffusing sunlight shining through a window.
