You should splurge on quality task lighting. Africa Studio / ShutterstockBre Hance, founder and principal designer of InHance Interiors, told Business Insider that swapping harsh ceiling lights for quality task lighting can improve the function and feel of a home office. "Overhead lighting can give some people a headache," she said. "I always recommend buying task lighting with dimming options so you can adjust your lighting as needed." Wall sconces, floor lamps, or desk lights are great options for adding soft light to your workspace.
