Transform your workspace with the right light
Lighting is the big forgotten when it comes to creating a workspace, but it's actually the secret to making it truly functional and welcoming. Because light not only affects how we see things, but also how we feel and perform at work. We help you find the perfect color temperature to make your office as inspiring as it is productive!
Color temperature refers to the tone of light that illuminates your space. It can be warm, with a more yellowish hue, or cool, with a whiter or bluish hue, and it plays a key role in creating an environment suited to the space. Warm lighting is cozy, perfect for relaxing or unwinding, while cool lighting promotes focus and energy, making it ideal for more intense work moments.

Lighting is not just a functional necessity—it’s crucial for creating the perfect atmosphere in your office! Well-chosen lighting can enhance your well-being in many ways: it boosts productivity, fosters creativity, promotes health, and even improves mood. In flexible workspaces, like those at Lexington, where adaptability and a variety of environments are key, lighting must be equally versatile. It should adapt to different areas and the needs of each individual to always provide the ideal setting.
For an office, the most recommended color temperature is between 3,000 and 4,000 Kelvin. This range of cool white light promotes productivity and helps maintain focus and energy throughout the day. However, in coworking spaces, flexibility is key! You can usually adjust the temperature easily with lighting control systems.

Modern offices are versatile spaces, and their lighting should reflect that. The ideal setup includes adjustable lighting that allows you to modify intensity and color based on the atmosphere you want to create. Lamps with variable color temperatures are perfect for switching from a warmer tone during breaks to cooler, brighter light when it’s time to get things done.
When it comes to efficiency and flexibility, LED lamps are the most popular choice. They are durable, energy-efficient, and offer a wide range of color temperatures. Additionally, dimmable LED lamps allow you to adjust lighting to meet the needs of different times of the day. Lamps with intensity control technology also help create diverse environments within the same space.
Offices with abundant natural light have an incredible advantage, but managing this light properly is essential to avoid glare or uncomfortable shadows. The ideal approach is to balance natural light with complementary artificial lighting that adjusts light levels throughout the day. Adjustable blinds or curtains are a must in these spaces, and soft but efficient artificial lighting ensures everything remains comfortable and functional.
At Lexington, we know that flexible workspaces are much more than places to work—they are environments where comfort, creativity, and productivity come together to enhance your day-to-day experience. That’s why we design offices with abundant natural light and adjustable lighting solutions tailored to your needs.
