 If you are renting an apartment or house and you have been instructed not to put holes in the walls or hang things, you may want to look for what is sometimes called a floor lamp. Or you can invest in the past and bring it into the present with antique torchiere lamps. The style of lamp is perfect for a renter, because the only installation it requires is an electric outlet. Generally these lamps work best in corners, as they cast their light upward, thus illuminating a greater area than a standard lamp. My advice is to buy several Torchiére lamps for your living room and enjoy the ambience!
