We have small his and hers desks in our study. 
There really isn't desktop space for a lamp. We hung two of these lights about 4 ft. apart over the desks. They can swing out so you can put the light where you need it. Their simple design means they aren't too "busy" for the small room. They take a 100 watt LED light bulb which is plenty of light. They come with two bars to cover the cord, so if you are concerned about the cord showing as in the photo, this would not be a factor. I would give five stars, but the one lamp's attachment with the base did not line up correctly so it's not quite vertical, but I can live with it. Took about an hour to install both.
