Where to Place a Small Floor Lamp
A small floor lamp works best where it can light a specific task or lift a dark corner without taking up valuable floor space. The most useful spots are beside a sofa or armchair, in the corner furthest from the window, next to a bed in place of a bedside lamp, and beside a desk in a compact home office. In this guide we go room by room through the positions that make the most of a petite lamp, explaining how height, shade direction and distance from your seat change the quality of light. We also look at common placement mistakes, such as pushing a lamp flat against a wall or hiding it behind furniture, and how to combine a small floor lamp with table lamps and ceiling lights for a balanced scheme. Whether you live in a studio flat or a family home, these tips will help you put the light exactly where it is needed....
