Ideas lighting a home office & gaming room?

vor 5 Jahren

Hi All,

I'm in the process of sorting out the lighting for my new office, and I'm really struggling on how to do the lighting. Now this is being built from scratch by myself so anything is an option whether its ceiling lighting, wall lighting, shelf, desk, floor etc.

I love accent lighting and warm, moody lighting rather than stark whites, however I also love to make use of colourful lighting for the "gaming" look (without overdoing it) but also keeping things "clean"

Some good and bad examples of what I like are below:

Bad

Good

https://i.imgur.com/3DihTJl.jpg - Same room as bad example but with less colour and more warmth

https://i.redd.it/nerskoqfgzaz.jpg - Love the warmness

https://i.redd.it/amo7onutlhq01.jpg - Love the subtle colours

More in my ideasbook https://www.houzz.co.uk/ideabooks/28906591/list/home-office-ideas

Can anyone help with some suggestions. I feel a bit overwhelmed at this point and not sure what to do! (Colour schemes, layout, materials etc are not final, so if you have suggestions there, please do!)

I think because you have the length/depth of the desk, I would suggest running the lighting behind the desk (so similar to your final example but running in the L shape!).

I only have experience using these lights in kitchen bars but attached is a link which would be super easy for you to install yourself.

Thanks. I've got plenty of experience with these so will likely install something like that. Perhaps a similar solution under the shelves?

Any recommendations on ceiling lights, bulb types etc?

Hi Ella, first of all, let me say that you have some really nice vintage pieces in your home! If you are planning to keep the light grey rug I would go with a darker shade of grey for the daybed and a lighter shade or a completely different color for the fabric of the sidechair (e.g. like the dark blue in your third photo) in order to create more contrast and give the room a more dynamic feel. You also mentioned a portrait to be hung above the sideboard - maybe the colors of this picture can aslo inspire the fabrics, it's always nice if the same color pops up in different details of a room. I hope this helps in your decision making process and I would love to see the results. Many greetings Anita Goda from Studio Wunderkammer

Hi Nicola, thank you so so much. Its just so nice. So pretty. The good thing is its not a mind bender. I was already thinking something on the lines. But the elements had to fit together. And now it looks they do. What I had not thought at all is the upholstery thing. It’s so nice. Even if I cannot do uphostry , I have gotten the idea now. I would somehow make the back of shelves and the heastbound side of bed same or coordinated, in order to make it kind of cozy niche corner as you have nicely put it. For shelves I was thinking to use a single piece or may a two pieces of 4x4 shelves like IKEA Kalax to creat a kind of partition of about 120 cm As I said I was thinking of similar things but as it comes from an expert I feel very happy. One more thing. For the colors would you recommend the ones I see already in the Sketsch??? Secondly, for the floor in the second / Upper room i was thinking of using small rugs in different colors witha kind of collage ( the pupose being easy maintainece, as a bigger carpet has to be send for professional carpet cleaners or need carpet cleaning machine). Small rugs if one is spoiled is easier to replace , which not easy in case of a bigger one that is wall to wall and heavy. Small rugs are easy to clean an rearrange. Of course under that I can add a light floor matt under these rugs to hold them together.( In both cases what colors , should be good. I mean if I add one piece carpet that would be almost half of the room, which colors should I take) or do you think it will make the rather smaller place look too busy and I should go for a full size carpet? What do you say about that. Thank you so much for your lovely idea and the inpus; in terms of actual work / sketch and your time. Best of regards

Na ja, aber „Innen“ ist doch immerhin für ein Haus entscheidend, oder? Ich würde mir lieber in den sauren Apfel beißen und einen neuen Architekten beauftragen, der mich versteht und vor allem auch verstehen will, als an einem schlechten Entwurf selbst versuchen, etwas zu verbessern. Sorry, nichts für ungut... Herr Ostheimers erster Entwurf, ohne Sie näher zu kennen, ist doch schon eine wahnsinnige Verbesserung. Vielleicht hilft ja der Kontakt zu ihm weiter?

Kitchen/dining room wall

Hello! I would definitely recommend to take out the wall. Your room will feel so much more spacious and bright because you'll also get the light from the window when you sit at the dining table. Kitchen island is a perfect idea – it creates a lot of extra storage and is ideal for a communicative kitchen/dining situation (no divider between kitchen and dining area). With various shelves and built-in cabinets you can create even more storage room. Living in a space before making any changes is a wise decision – as long as it comes to furniture. When it's about taking out a wall you'll probably never do that later on ;) Happy to discuss if you need more inspiration / ideas – Just book a time that suits you. Cheers Anna

Perhaps something like Philips Hue lighting? I have no experience with it, but have only heard positive reviews. You can change colours, set moods. https://www2.meethue.com/en-gb/philips-hue-benefits

You can also control Philips Hue with an Amazon Alexa, definitely a gadget room thing :)

I'll be using Hue and other variations including some of my home automation. I think i'll pop these behind the desk and shelves. It's now just for the things like ceiling lights, and wall lights, desk lights, accent lights elsewhere etc that im not sure on
