Back to School - Illuminate your Study Space with Stunning New Lighting

Back to School season is in full swing. New backpacks, notebooks, and pencils are a must to ensure your students’ success, but creating an environment to learn in at home is just as important. Besides the usual need for a space to complete homework, flexible learning has become more common following the pandemic, which leaves young students doing more work at home. Therefore, creating an environment where your child can be just as focused in your home as they are in the classroom is key to their success. 

Lighting plays a key role in making or breaking a workspace. In addition to choosing the right furniture and décor, lighting goes beyond looks when it comes to a home school space. When it comes to choosing a new fixture to update your student’s back to school study space, there are three things that should be considered.

Natural Light

Placing decorative and functional lighting in a room largely depends on the natural light within the room itself. When picking a study space, a room with plenty of natural lighting is key. With more and more work being done on computers, natural light in a room gives a break to the strained eye. Additionally, it can promote a sense of connection with the outdoors, reducing feelings of isolation during long study sessions. From there, you can decide where to place your decorative lighting around it.

Task Lighting

While natural light is ideal, it might not always be sufficient, especially during nighttime study sessions. A mini pendant or ceiling light placed directly above the desk will provide focused illumination on your reading material or computer without straining your eyes. LED bulbs are more energy efficient and can offer a variety of color temperatures to match your preferences. Integrated LED fixtures are also a great choice as you can dim the light to your preferred setting.

Style

When choosing a fixture for your study space, style does not have to be sacrificed for functionality. Designing a space that fosters productivity includes creating a welcoming, stylish environment. Quoizel has a wide array of fixtures from pendants to flush mounts that will fit your needs.  

Decorating your student’s study space for back-to-school doesn't have to be a daunting task. By focusing on lighting, you can create an environment that promotes productivity, creativity, and a positive attitude towards learning. Incorporating natural light, task lighting, and stylish fixtures will elevate your study space and make it a place where your student can thrive academically. With the right lighting, you'll be ready to illuminate their path to success throughout the school year. Happy studying!
