YOUR SATISFACTION; 'IS OUR FUTURE INSURANCE Making The Home More Livable — With End-Lamps for the Davenport By Jean Prentice TV ID you ever notice how your fam \J ily or guests gravitate toward the davenport when entering the living room? They usually do. So it’s really not surprising how much pleasure and livableness can be secured by adding, as perfect comple ments to the davenport, good lamps— properly placed 1 Like an artist with a pallet of paints, ; a home maker with a davenport, lamps and end tables, can create a balanced 1 arrangement that is beautiful to the eye—and more than that—good to the eye from the standpoint of lighting. How to go about it when one’s davenport is placed against a wall is illustrated in the accompanying sketch. Although the lamp arrangement looks casually and gracefully simple, it embodies several technically correct things over which a lighting specialist would nod his head in approval. To begin with, the lamps (quite modish as twins 1) are just the right height for this arrangement. Two 60 watt bulbs in each lamp insure ade quate light. The shades are open at the top and sufficiently opaque to avoid undue brightness and glare even when both bulbs in a lamp are in use for I reading, sewing, or studying. Since the end tables in this living room are relatively low, the lamps se lected are tall in order to send a suf ficient spread of light on the book to be read beside it. However, if the end tables used were higher, the eye would catch raw glaring light from beneath the lamp shades. In. that case a lower lamp standard like that at the right in the underneath sketch, or a still lower one, as at the extreme left, would be used. Be mindful of the height of your end table and select your lamps ac cordingly I Many of the better lamps of course have adjustable upper stems and mov able sockets, allowing for change in height or spread of light. Bridge or floor lamps, of adjustable types like those sketched in the center, are second choice for this davenport arrangement. They should be placed at either end, the former with a 60 or 75-watt bulb in each lamp and the lat ter with two 60 or 75-watt bulbs in each one. The difficulty is that the taller floor lamps cannot be placed far enough to the back of the davenport (because of the wall) to keep unshaded light from striking the eyes. If your davenport, however, stands away from the wall, well, that’s an other—a coming story.
