Most of us have home offices but rarely think of having a stylish desk lamp. My guess is that it probably came from a big box store or is a leftover from college.
If you think about the sheer number of hours you spend at a desk, why wouldn’t you invest in a functional and beautiful desk lamp? Depending upon the size and style of your desk and office, you should give serious consideration to illuminating your work space.
1. Black and Chrome Piano Desk Lamp 2. Architect Style Black Finish Adjustable Halogen Desk Lamp
Two of the more classic desk lights are the timeless piano lamp and adjustable table lamp. What’s so great about these lamps are their functionality and brilliant task lighting capabilities. Whether you go for them in a black finish or polished chrome, the look will never go out of style.

High style designer lamps can also look great on desks. If your work load is a tad lighter at home, you may wish to focus more on flair than function.
You can really make an office “decorator done” if you coordinate the lighting to your design scheme. Here are two wonderful examples of a more mid century look below and a sophisticated urban scheme above.
5. Square Base Solid Brass Piano Lamp in Satin Nickel 6. Robert Abbey Kinetic Antique Brass Pharmacy Desk Lamp
Some desk lighting, like the one above, have a retro deco feel that reminds me of a classic 1930's movie, while other offices would rather not sacrifice surface space and opt for a floor lamp that can function just as well as a table top version provided you have an appropriate light bulb.
Regardless of your home office needs, make sure your lighting is stylish and bright... A perfect recipe for staying focused on the task at hand.
