Avoid placing your desk opposite the window as it can create an annoying shadow or glare on your computer screen. You can also use roll-up curtains or blinds on your window to avoid harsh sunlight during the hot summer months. Do include a low lying seating area beside the window where you can enjoy your small breaks between meetings or unwind with a cup of coffee after a long day of work. So if you are lucky to have a large window that opens up to the view outside find a cosy nook to design your workstation and enjoy the best home office lighting idea without increasing your electricity bill.
