Lighting open plan spaces effectively can help to create inviting and productive work environments. Natural lighting is always the best option whenever possible, but it may be necessary to supplement with artificial lighting for the times when natural light isn’t sufficient. The key is to layer light in multiple ways so that there are both higher levels of ambient light as well as spot lighting. Aim to avoid glare, shadows, and harsh spots which can be uncomfortable and impede productivity. Install task lights on desks or at communal work stations to provide extra illumination when needed while ensuring people have access to the level of brightness they prefer. Taking all these measures will ensure that everyone has an environment that is designed for optimal comfort and performance.
