Ambient lamp: 5 ideas for a cosy desk corner in the evening
ECLATDESK
A desk can be both practical and cosy. The easiest way to change the mood in the evening is to add a small source of soft light alongside your task lighting.
1. Use several light sources
A single bright ceiling light makes a room feel cold. A task lamp on the desk and an ambient lamp further away add depth.
2. Choose warm white
For atmosphere, go for warm light, around 2,700 to 3,000 K. See our article on warm or cool light.
3. Play with shapes
A lamp with rounded shapes becomes a decor piece, even when off. The ceramic Cèpe mushroom lamp comes in white, orange, yellow and pink. The Écho lamp, with its double rounded diffuser, adds a retro touch in orange or beige.
4. Match materials
Wood, ceramic, brushed metal: pick up a material already on your desk, such as a wooden monitor riser or an organiser, for a coherent look.
5. Keep the lamp out of the screen's view
Place the ambient lamp to the side or further back so it lights the room without reflecting in the screen.
