Here are four suggestions for better lighting for home offices that will reduce eye strain.

Poor lighting has probably caused you problems at least once, don't you think? It is no secret that bad lighting can have negative impacts, especially if you work from home. Eye tiredness, which can cause symptoms like dry, irritated eyes, confused vision, and even headaches, is further exacerbated by poor illumination and can ultimately lower your productivity. Instead, a nice workspace at home can always increase your level of productivity.

Here we bring you 4 ideas to enhance the lighting of your home office to reduce eye strain.

1. Introduce lighter colours for the wall

By removing dramatic wallpaper and dark wall colours in favour of a mellow shade of paint, you can introduce lighter colours to your walls. White colours will reflect natural light into the room rather than soaking it, giving the impression that the room is brighter. Because you may receive the most reflection of the available light, this will further lessen your strain.

2. Select a table light that is adjustable

The ideal table lamp illuminates the work area just strong enough for you to see fine details, but not so bright that it strains your eyes. Small desk lamps may be sufficient for reading a novel, but they don't produce a large sufficient source of light for computer work or writing. Instead, try purchasing an adjustable desk lamp that can be slanted and tilted.

Make your windows larger if they are little. In addition to lowering your electricity costs, doing this will increase the air quality in your home and provide the added benefit of letting in more light, which relieves eye strain. Use glasses that don't cast too much light, as this can cast shadows and generate glare, which will make it harder for you to focus on your task.

Place your screen or laptop next to a window if at all feasible since natural sunshine is the best ambient light source. Place your screen parallel to the window rather than in front of it for the best configuration. Ambient light is crucial for the home office as it provides the workstation with pleasant and soothing light, softens the sharp and powerful light from your task light or computer screen, and shields your eyes. 

The aforementioned tips can help you stay focused while also easing eye strain.
