How to Place Lamps on a Sofa Table

How to Place Lamps on a Sofa Table

Lamps can make a statement in your home. You can use them as a focal point and decorate around them or use them to accent your interior dcor. Place table lamps in your home to enhance your lighting. Proper placement can provide both reading and task lighting. The design of a sofa table makes it a candidate for holding additional table lamps in your room. Placing your lamps behind the sofa and on the sofa table can brighten the area, adding additional lighting to read by. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

    1

    Place a level on top of your sofa table to confirm that it is level. Placing a lamp on an un-level table could result in the lamp accidentally falling from the table.

    2

    Move the sofa table to your desired location. Confirm that you have enough electrical outlets available or you have outlets close enough to where an indoor extension cord can reach it. Consider hiring an electrician to install additional outlets if one is not available. Do not run an extension cord across the room or under a rug, as this could damage the cord and possibly cause an electrical fire.

    3

    Place the lamp on one end of the sofa table. When you sit on the sofa, the lamp should be placed near your right or left shoulder. Placing the lamp in this position avoids shadows cast by your head on reading materials. Place a second lamp at the opposite end of the soft table, if one is available. Its position should mirror the first lamp's placement.
