Most Pakistani homes have ceilings between 9 and 11 feet — taller than European apartments, which is why imported height guides often lead people to buy lamps that look stunted here.
Drawing room: 150–180 cm
Corner and behind-sofa positions need height to wash the wall. Palme, the feather palm floor lamp at 152 cm sits right in this band and reads as sculpture during the day.
Reading corner: 120–150 cm
The shade base should land near eye level when seated. Orbit, the chrome globe floor lamp at 111 cm works beside a low armchair; go taller if your seat is standard height.
Bedroom: 130–160 cm
Place it opposite the bed rather than beside it, so the light is indirect. Crystal diffuses beautifully here — see Aurora.
Apartments and low ceilings
Under 9 feet, stay below 150 cm and choose an upward-facing shade to lift the ceiling visually. More on placement in how to choose a designer floor lamp.
