The lamps ar fun but prettyuseless for actual lighting in an office . You need at least one task light on the desk or get some pot lights into the space . Those lamps would be great in a bedroom . I think the desk somewhere where a proper lamp can be used would be preferable to where you have it maybe like a sofa table behind the sofa. The file cabinets are working IMO with the other dark stuff so I would not paint them. Maybe put them under the bay window and then you could maybe put those lamps on there too

The file cabinets are higher than the bay. Will that look odd? I agree the power situation is a problem with this set up. When I put the desk behind the couch, like a sofa table it feels really heavy in the center of the room....

You might look into placing the desk facing the window that the two cabinets are flanking at the moment. You might also look into a lighter rug and lighter desk chair, along with a chandelier or lighter lamps. Here are a few of our office designs which might help you more.

@Stacey Onion Have you tried angling the desk with chair back to corner? Desk needs to be far enough away from corner so chair has enough room to roll back, swivel etc. Try angling the file cab that’s in corner to mirror desk & use surface for file sorter etc. Slie the other file cab towards the fireplace a bit. Is that a printer under window behind desk & with cord across floor? Maybe printer can go on top of corner file cab & cord strung along baseboard under window? those lamps are really pretty & I agree shade somehow off. They seem tall enough as cover the harp but I think need to be wider & not pure white - maybe ivory or cream.
