Lighting behind a sofa

Often we can float a sofa or sectional in a room, then have no place for a lamp.Try using a lamp behind the sofa on a console table. A narrow sofa table is the perfect spot for a table lamp. Consider the width of the table. You don't want the shade to be wider than the table because it will get knocked over .You can also use a rectangular table lamp instead of a round shaded lamp. A pharmacy lamp works well as they usually have narrow metal shades that can swing over the back of the sofa creating task lighting, and good reading light.
