Question 1

Where should I place floor lamps in the living room?

Accepted Answer

Floor lamps are tall, standing lamps that cast light at a higher level, allowing you to vary both the design and light levels of your living room. They can be used to achieve all three types of lighting: task, ambient and accent. While you can use floor lamps in any area of a room, their high light source works best in a dark corner or as part of a group of lights clustered together for a layered look.

Question 2

Where should I put bedroom LED floor lamps?

Accepted Answer

Bedside table lamps are a staple of most bedrooms, and smart table lamps also offer features that help you make the most of your bedroom lighting. For example, use a Wake up automation — this allows your bedside table lamps to gradually brighten in the morning to help you wake up naturally. Some lamps, like the Signe gradient table lamp in oak, feature a blend of brilliant light that mimics the morning sky when using the Sunrise wake-up style.
