Floor Lamps On Either Side Of Sofa

Measured from the floor.

Floor lamps on either side of sofa.

I have two matching floor lamps in our living room on either side of our sofa. The floor lamp is a very versatile light fixture that you can use in many different rooms in your house. Try a floor lamp on one side of the sofa and a table lamp on the other. I can appreciate this post.

Side tables typically are 25 to 30 inches tall and the seat of a sofa usually is about 19 inches from the floor so consider these measurements when choosing your lamp. Here the sofa and chairs are placed on an angle opposite each other. Take a tip from the interior designers and double up for a more professional put together look for a living room. Buy drapery panels that will either kiss the floor or puddle on it.

The lamp s base also should be sized for smaller side tables. The simple but classic. Sixty eight inches is the ideal floor lamp height since it conceals the bulb whether you re seated or standing. A slender candlestick lamp is appropriate for a side table that is slim and delicate in style.

To make your windows appear wider and let in extra light extend the rods anywhere between 4 and 10 excluding finials beyond the window casing. Image from home bunch 7.

If the base is too wide it could be knocked off of the table easily. Two identical table lamps used either side of the sofa can really anchor a scheme especially when set on matching tables with the colour of the lamp bases picked out again in cushions and other details. To create the illusion of a taller window mount drapery rods at least 4 8 above the window casing if space allows. In terms of lighting this layout features a floor lamp next to the side chair and one end tables with lamps on either side of the sofa.

To me it is a bit traditional and a bit unique at the same time. You could also replace these with more floor lamps whatever fits your style. Generally balis likes to use floor lamps to illuminate corners and reading areas. If you have a dark corner in a room the simple addition of a lamp will work wonders for the way the room feels balis says.

Use sleek modern arc lamps to extend lighting out over the sofa or another chair or table. Table lamps can be positioned on an end table behind the sofa on a console table on a side table near an armchair or on a media console shelf. The light fixture comes in an assortment of styles and finishes and stands 58 to about 64 inches high with a base that takes up only about eleven inches of floor space. A smaller lamp looks best when placed on a small accent or side table.
