Traditional swag lamp
This swag lamp features a drum-shaped shade measuring 18” in diameter. Because it looks just like those of classic table lamps, it can highlight your living room’s cozy and familiar feel. Its maximum hanging height is 17”.
The right hanging height for your swag lamp will depend on where you’re placing it. If it’s going to be your main overhead light, aim for the bottom to hang 7’ from the floor. If you’re going to use it for task lighting (for example, over a kitchen island or dining table), then the bottom should be between 30” and 36” above that surface.
