Think of living-room lamps as one part light and one part sculpture. They should be lovely to look at whether on or off. Just make sure they don't block the view or get in the way of conversation.
Height: Most living rooms can handle a lamp that's 26 to 34 inches tall. To see if your lamp is right for a given table, sit on the sofa or the chair next to it, she says. The bottom of the shade shouldn't fall higher than eye level.
Base: Even a skinny, candlestick-style base should be substantially weighted so those who talk with their hands don't rock the lamp if they bump it accidentally.
Shade: A fabric shade gives a warm, flattering glow. In general, drum shades look more modern; conical ones, more traditional. A shade should never extend past a table's perimeter.
Bulb: If you intend to use your lamp for reading, make sure the bulb is at least 60 watts; a three-way bulb or a dimmer will modulate the brightness.
