How Tall Should Industrial Floor Lamps Be in a Conservatory?

Industrial floor lamps in a conservatory should be tall enough to light the seating area without the shade reaching into the sloping glazing. For most conservatories that means a lamp of roughly 150cm to 170cm beside a chair for reading, and up to around 180cm for taller tripod or arc designs placed where the roof is highest.

How to Choose Table Lamps for a Living Room

Choosing table lamps for a living room is less about finding one beautiful piece and more about building light in the right places.
