The height of floor lamps and table lamps in your living room can vary quite considerably. If the floor lamp beside the sofa is there to create a softer ambience in the room, choose a globe type that casts the right amount of light for your needs and a lamp height that looks balanced next to the sofa. If your new lamp shows up your ageing sofa, you can find beautiful new lounges and sofas at Amart too!
If the lamp is there to provide task lighting for something like reading or knitting, the height becomes more important. Lamps with adjustable heads are ideal for task lighting, providing direct light at the perfect height. Again, check the wattage of your light bulb is suitable for your space.
On average, floor lamps range between 152 cm and 182 cm with some modern lamp designs spanning greater heights and widths to suit modern open-plan home designs. The height and dimensions of a floor lamp need to be in proportion to the room size while providing ambient or task lighting at a suitable height for the furniture in the room.
Interior design experts suggest the ideal combined height of a sofa side table with a table lamp is between 147 cm and 162 cm.
Online shopping allows you to size up your lamp from home using the dimensions provided on our website. However, if you’re still unsure, head in-store to your nearest Amart showroom so you can measure the lamps on your wishlist and get a feel for their scale when placed on a side table or next to a sofa.
