Office/Den Lighting
Whether you work full time out of your home office, or just use it as a space to pay the bills, surf the web, or as a quiet area for the kids to do their homework, a well-lit workspace is essential to reduce glare and make your tasks easier. At Accent Lighting in Wichita, we have a great selection of home office lighting, and can recommend the best fixtures for your personal taste.
For the ceiling fixtures in your office, you’ll want surface-mounted, high color fluorescent fixtures that provide plenty of light while also eliminating shadows. You may want to have two ceiling fixtures so you have the option of having one or both of them on, depending on what you’re using the office for at the moment. For task lighting, floor and table lamps work well in these areas, as they are highly configurable to your furniture arrangement, since these rooms tend to be reconfigured on a frequent basis. If you’re searching for a certain style or color of lamp, chances are we’ll have what you’re looking for in our showroom.
Take some time to look through our online catalog, and please let us know if you have any questions. We also carry a great selection of ceiling fans that will look perfect in your home office, and can suggest the best fan and light kit for your updated lighting design. We want your workspace to be functional and comfortable, and to have the ideal lights for whatever purpose it’s serving on any given day.

Tips to Choose Office and Den Lighting
Identify Your Needs: Begin by assessing how you use your office or den. If you're working long hours, it's vital to have sufficient task lighting that minimizes eye strain. In contrast, if your den is primarily a relaxation space, soft, ambient lighting will set the right mood.
Light Brightness and Levels: The brightness of your lighting is essential. Aim for around 300-500 lux for work areas to promote productivity while keeping den areas cozier, with levels closer to 200-300 lux. Dimmer switches and directional lighting can provide flexibility, allowing you to adjust settings based on the time of day and activity.
Energy Efficiency: Choose LED lighting for your fixtures, as they not only consume less energy but are also available in various styles to complement your décor. This choice can also lead to long-term savings on utility bills.
Color Temperature: Lighting color temperature matters too. Warmer tones (2700K-3000K) are perfect for creating a cozy ambiance in den areas, while cooler tones (4000K-5000K) are excellent for promoting focus and alertness in your office.
Office and Den Lighting Styles and Design
Your lighting's style greatly influences how your space feels.
Here are some popular approaches:
Industrial Style: Featuring exposed bulbs and metal finishes, this style imparts a modern and trendy vibe to your office or den.
Modern Minimalist: Simple fixtures with clean lines can make your workspace feel more spacious and calmer, reducing clutter.
Smart Lighting Solutions: Integrate technology into your lighting design with smart bulbs that can be controlled via smartphone or voice assistants. This allows for customizing brightness and color, making your space versatile for different needs.
Current Trends in Office and Den Lighting
Layering your lighting is a significant trend today. Opt for a mix of ambient, task, and accent lighting to create a balanced environment. Pendants and sconces are popular, as they let you adjust the intensity based on your activities or time of day.
Additionally, more homeowners are embracing biophilic designs. This trend involves incorporating natural elements, such as plants or maximizing natural light, to foster a sense of well-being and connection with nature.
