Lamps

The right lamps can make a room feel warmer, more comfortable, and more balanced. Using a mix of floor lamps, table lamps, and overhead lighting helps create a layered look while making the space more functional.

How many lamps should a room have?

Most rooms feel balanced with at least two light sources. This adds depth, reduces reliance on harsh overhead lighting, and helps the space feel more inviting.

Where should I place a floor lamp?

A floor lamp works best next to a sofa, accent chair, or reading nook. It creates a natural task-lighting area while adding height and visual interest to the room.

Do table lamps need to match?

Table lamps do not have to match. Matching lamps create a more symmetrical look, while mixed styles can make a room feel relaxed, layered, and collected.

What height should a lamp be?

The bottom of the lamp shade should sit around eye level when you are seated. This helps keep the light comfortable, useful, and easy on the eyes.
