Place No Lamp In Picture Window
A light in a picture window harms the focal point of the room. Decorators advise centering attention on the window with a lamp on a drum table placed off the window. If furniture must occupy the area, use a low table and light open-backed chairs to preserve space. A reading light belongs at the window’s side, not in front. Heavy furniture should sit opposite the window.
