Should I add floor or table lamps to an office lounge seating area?

Adding lamps to office lounge zones is one of the highest-impact moves to make the space feel like a hospitality environment rather than a corporate one. Floor lamps positioned at the side of lounge chairs or sofas provide warm ambient light that supplements overhead office lighting and signals that this zone is different from the work area. The practical considerations: lamps require accessible electrical outlets (floor boxes or wall outlets near the lounge zone); lamp bases in high-traffic areas can be trip hazards if not weighted and positioned carefully; and lamp shades need to be coordinated with cleaning protocols to maintain appearance.
