Can you put a French country floor lamp next to a TV?

A French country floor lamp is a gorgeous addition to your living room and deserves to be front and center. But what is the ideal position for a floor lamp in a space with a TV? Your French country floor lamp should sit next to the television, but far enough away that the warm light doesn’t shine onto the screen. You can also place it slightly behind the TV screen to prevent glare.

The distance you’ll need to place the lamp away from the television ultimately depends on the size, shape, and brightness of your specific lamp. Floor lamps serve best from the corner of a room, so if you place your French country lamp in the corner and the TV centered on that same wall, you’ll avoid any unwanted reflections.

Floor lamps come in various styles and configurations, which can impact the type of light emitted. The benefit of a French country floor lamp is that it often features a shade with a wide opening at the bottom, sending diffuse light around the room. These pieces are ideal for placement next to a TV as they send the light downward.

How do I choose the right bulb for a French Country floor lamp?

To choose the right bulb for your French Country floor lamp you’ll need to consider a few factors about your living space and the function of the lamp. Depending on the lamp, you might be choosing between incandescent, LED, halogen, and CFL light bulbs.

The most common options for home lamps are LED and incandescent bulbs. LEDs emit a bright light, are energy efficient, and give off no heat while operating. They have a long lifespan (up to 50 000 hours), so if your floor lamp is in a hard-to-reach area, this can be a convenient solution.

However, many people will prefer the cozy warmth that an incandescent bulb gives off for their French Country floor lamp. While not as energy-efficient, they give off a bit of heat and cast a warmer, orange glow that beautifully complements the French Country design scheme.

Where should you put a French country floor lamp?

Due to the way that a French country floor lamp’s shade is angled, this type of lamp tends to make a great office or reading lamp—as most of the light will be directed downward.

Because of this, we’d recommend placing a French country floor lamp just next to an office desk, reading chair, or on either side of a sofa or couch.
