Homes & Gardens asked me how many lamps a living room really needs 🤍

Honestly? There’s no magic number.. But I always start with three layers:

- One main overhead chandelier
- One hardwired wall lamp
- At least one table or floor lamp

Then I tuck a lil’ lamp somewhere unexpected… a bookshelf, built-ins, a cozy window nook. Those little pockets of light are what make a room feel lived-in.
Where’s the coziest lamp in your house?!
