Lighting

Lighting is an important factor when designing a study. It is key for concentration as it influences the mood and surroundings. It is best to have evenness of light, so no shadows. Having them set at different angles allows for it to bounce off all four walls, making everything well lit. You need to make sure the lights are above you on angles so that there is no light going directly into your face. This can cause discomfort and stress on your eyes as it is pointing directly at you.

I looked at two types of lighting, firstly, track lighting which would be good for direct lighting at different angles. However, advice from (Froling, 2017) suggested that they are expensive to run with the types of light bulbs they use and are hard to move on the track. The second type of lighting is oyster lighting, shaped like an oyster they light up the whole room. Specific to these lights there is a dimmer switch which is extremely beneficial when you are using computers with bright screens.
