Frequently Asked Questions
What's the ideal height for a floor lamp next to seating?
The bottom of the lampshade should typically sit at eye level when you're seated, usually around 40-42 inches from the floor. This prevents glare while providing adequate task lighting for reading.
How much should I expect to spend on a quality floor lamp?
Floor lamps range widely in price depending on materials, brand, and features. Budget options start around $30-50, mid-range lamps typically cost $75-200, while designer or high-end models can exceed $300-500.
Do I need special bulbs for dimmer-compatible floor lamps?
Yes, if your lamp has dimming capability, you'll need dimmable LED or incandescent bulbs. Standard non-dimmable LEDs may flicker or not dim properly. Always check the lamp's maximum wattage requirements.
How do I choose the right lamp size for my room?
Consider your room's scale and ceiling height. In rooms with 8-foot ceilings, stick to lamps under 60 inches tall. For larger rooms, you can use taller lamps up to 72 inches. The lampshade width should be proportional to nearby furniture - roughly one-third the width of the sofa or chair it's placed beside.
