The living room of a house is the heart of any house. You spend most of the time over here along with your family. You watch movies here and party with your family and friends. Lamps here should be welcoming and create a nice & warm ambiance.

A general rule of thumb is to place a lamp where the Lamp base should end at the eye level of you while seated. So if you are installing a standing lamp or table lamp or a side lamp to a sofa sitting, do keep this thing in mind. 

If you are installing a lamp near to your sitting, you would mind keeping the above-given point but you can also put bigger lamps in height if the living room is spacious enough.

Another important thing to remember if you are placing the lamp on the table is that you don’t want the lamp in total height to be greater than 1.5 times then table. For example, if you have a table that’s height is 2 feet then you don’t want to put a lamp which is more than 3 feet in height.

Also, you need to consider the table lamp shade and table base ratio as well. You should be having a wide table then lamp shade. A 100:60 ratio between lamp table base and lampshade should do good.
