Lamps & Lighting FAQ

How tall should a table lamp be next to my sofa?
When you're seated, the bottom of the lampshade should sit at about eye level, which for most sofas means the combined height of the end table and lamp lands around 58 to 64 inches from the floor. That keeps bulb glare out of your eyes while casting light down onto a book. A lamp roughly 24 to 30 inches tall suits most standard end tables.
What size lamp works on a nightstand?
Choose a lamp whose shade bottom lines up with your chin when you sit up in bed, usually 20 to 27 inches tall on a standard nightstand. The base shouldn't take up more than about half the tabletop so you still have room for a phone or book. Pick a shade at least 2 inches narrower than the lamp body is tall for good proportion.
How many lamps do I need in a living room?
Most living rooms feel best with at least three light sources at different heights, such as a table lamp beside the sofa, a floor lamp in a reading corner, and an accent lamp on a console or shelf. Mapping where each lamp will sit before you shop helps you choose the right height and size. Spread them around the room so light falls evenly instead of pooling in one spot.
How tall are floor lamps, and when should I choose one over a table lamp?
Most floor lamps are about 58 to 64 inches tall, with arc and extra-tall styles reaching 70 inches or more. Choose a floor lamp when there's no table nearby, such as beside a sectional corner, reading chair, or empty corner that needs height. Table lamps suit side tables, nightstands, and consoles. Many rooms look best with a mix, since varied light heights add depth and spread light evenly.
What kind of light bulb should I use in my lamp?
Check the product details for the bulb type and maximum wattage your lamp accepts, then choose an LED bulb in that range. For living rooms and bedrooms, warm white bulbs around 2700K create a cozy glow, while 3000K to 4000K suits reading and home offices. Brightness of about 800 lumens works for most reading lamps; softer 450-lumen bulbs suit accent lamps.
Can I see floor lamps and table lamps in person before I buy, and can they be returned?
Yes. You can shop floor lamps, table lamps, and other lighting online at morfurniture.com or see them in person at our 30+ West Coast showrooms, where you can compare shade colors, finishes, and heights. Lamps are accessories, so they aren't returnable and aren't covered by our furniture warranty. Inspect your lamp as soon as it arrives and report any shipping damage within 48 hours.

Here are some tips for maximizing your lighting with lamps.

Define what kind of lighting you need. Buying a lamp you like and then trying to make it fit it into your bedroom or living room is almost never a good idea. Try chalking out the perfect place each lamp should sit or stand in relation to your couch or bedside and then note the height it needs to be to spread out a warm circle of light that just right for entertaining guests or finishing a few pages of your current novel before you go to sleep.

Some rules of thumb for choosing table lamps: the bottom of the shade should at your eye level when you are seated. The diameter of the lampshade should be at least two inches less than the length of its body. The narrower the base of the shade, the smaller the area it will illuminate.

Be flexible when it comes to style. Be open to the idea that the right lamp might have a shape, color or metallic finish you hadn’t considered at first. Try mixing two different lamps with similar colors or geometric shapes. Or make one amazing pendant light the focal point of your room.

Layer multiple sources of light. Combine the intimacy of bedside table lamps with a brighter floor lamp in one corner of the room. Include floor lamps, table lamps and accent lamps in different spots in your living room. Add a couple of accent lamps on the buffet or sideboard in your dining room. Don’t forget the home office and entryway! Every space in your home needs a different lighting solution and we’re ready to help. Visit one of our many showrooms that sell lamps and more.
