Reduce the glare or reflection of daylight by having blinds installed. Tinted windows can also reduce glares and reflection, although they can be expensive if you have them installed. Decide to place window tinting film on your windows for a cheaper alternative.

Tips & Warnings
Illuminate your awards, certificates and trophies if you want as well. You don't have to use office lighting only for work purposes. Track lighting is the best option for showing off your pictures, plants or keepsakes.
Purchase lamps that you can use to hook on your bookcase or you can hide in the bottom of your plants. Even though they're out of the way, they will illuminate certain parts of your office.
