Frequently asked questions
how tall should a floor lamp be
A floor lamp should stand between 58 and 64 inches tall so the shade sits near eye level when you are seated. Two Seventy Nine's floor lamps range from 50 to 78 inches, with most between 60 and 66 inches. For a reading corner, choose one whose shade bottom sits just below the eye level of a seated person, around 40 to 42 inches from the floor.
where to put floor lamp in living room
Place a floor lamp in a living room corner beside or behind seating, where it lights the space without glare in your sightline. Beside a sofa or reading chair, position the lamp so the shade sits just above shoulder height when you are seated. An arc floor lamp works over a sofa or coffee table, reaching light to the center of the room from a base set against the wall.
how to choose a floor lamp
Choose a floor lamp by matching its height, style and light type to the spot it will fill. Two Seventy Nine's floor lamps come in arc, tripod, torchiere and reading styles, from 50 to 78 inches tall, in gold, black, brown and brass finishes. For task light pick an adjustable reading lamp, for ambient light pick a torchiere that throws light upward, and for a statement over seating pick an arc.
what is a floor lamp
A floor lamp is a freestanding light on a tall pole and weighted base that sits directly on the floor, typically 50 to 78 inches tall. A floor lamp provides ambient or task lighting without needing a table or a ceiling fixture. Common types include arc, tripod, torchiere and reading floor lamps.
how to hide floor lamp cords
Hide a floor lamp cord by running it along the baseboard behind furniture to the nearest outlet, then securing it with adhesive cord clips or a cord cover. Two Seventy Nine's floor lamps are plug-in, so place the lamp within reach of an outlet to keep the cord run short. A lamp set beside a sofa or console can route its cord behind that piece out of view.
