Antique Brass Wall Lights: How to Style Them in a Home Office

Antique brass wall lights bring warmth and a settled, library feel to a home office, but they work best when they are used as focused task and accent light rather than as the only source. In this guide we explain how to position a swing arm or adjustable fitting beside the desk, opposite your writing hand, so it lights the page without reflecting off your screen. We share styling ideas for the most common UK home offices, including the box room, the alcove desk beside a chimney breast, the corner of a bedroom and the garden room. You will also find advice on pairing antique brass with oak, walnut, leather and deeper paint colours, lighting bookshelves for a calmer video call background and choosing the right colour temperature for long working days. We finish with practical notes on plug in versions, switching and keeping lacquered brass looking its best over time....
