Instead of downlights that reflect in screens, uplight fixtures bounce light off ceiling for soft, diffuse ambient. Combined with warm pendant accents for depth.

Approach Detail
Install uplight fixtures (cove, pendant uplights, or torchieres) to wash ceiling. White/light ceiling reflects and diffuses. Target 200-300 lux at table surface. Supplement with warm decorative pendants (not directly over tables) for visual interest. Avoid any fixture reflecting in typical screen angle.
Key Fixtures
LED cove lighting, uplight fixtures or torchieres, light ceiling paint/material, supplemental decorative pendants.
Designer Notes
Render from laptop-user POV showing no reflections in screen. Show glowing ceiling as light source with soft shadows. Include visible laptop screens without glare. Second view from across room showing diffuse, even light.
Best For
Co-working café zones, remote worker focus, modern minimal aesthetics.
