does this work as a lamp?

Do you guys think that woven cylinder thing in the left works as a tabletop lamp? It's supposed to be hung from the ceiling technically lol

    I like the way it looks and lights the corner.The clock in the picture makes it look like your experiment has a base. In person, I would guess, the lack of a base might look awkward. You lamp reminds me of one of my staging pieces . The base of my piece is a simple black wooden cube, the same diameter as the lit portion. It could be a DYI finish to your good start:)

      The woven cylinder thing looks like it may be an issue with TV viewing. I suggest a very low wattage bulb - no more then 25w incandescent. Then moving the floor lamp to a different portion of the room. Add a vase on the other side of the console to even out the table.

      Hey Aaron. Did you know they sell a teeny IR that hooks into the cablebox. You can mount the IR discreetly on the tv and loose the cable box inside your unit. The lamp thing is funky and fun I think it's great on that table.

      Hi Aaron! Have you considered moving your floor lamp to the other side of the TV cabinet? It would illuminate the corner of the room, which would make the room feel bigger and brighter. Then you could move the cylindrical lamp to the other side of the TV. I would not move the cable box with it, I would keep it where it is (unless you can find a way to hide it) and accessorize it. Perhaps place a couple of frames or a few books with some unique book-ends right on top of it. This would make it "disappear" and would give that side of the TV cabinet some height. Good luck! :)

      A lamp should not be near a TV, but agree that the floor lamp be moved to the corner and should only be on when the TV not on. The other lamp is unique-I would highlight it on an end table? Don't see the need for 2 lamps by the TV. If you off-center the TV to the right a little bit, you could have a special picture/ smaller object that would be highlighted when corner lamp turned on.

      Thank you everyone for the ideas! I should probably send you guys a picture of the entire room when I get the chance because there isn't much lighting and I'm trying to figure out the best placement for them

      The two lamps don't belong together and serve no purpose where they are, besides which as previously stated lamps distract one when placed near a TV. Is it possible to place them elsewhere?

      Yes I think it's possible, but one can stay right?

      Move the TV and console to the wall opposite the door (left wall in the first photo). Put the sofa so the back is at the edge of the wood floor entry centered to the TV. Put the folding(?) chairs to the right of the sofa facing where the couch was. Put the floor lamp between the chairs with a small table. Get a big ole chair for where the person is sitting now only closer to the sofa.

      Oh wow that is a great idea! My only concern is wouldn't it be weird to have the sofa right in front of the front door?

      I don't have exact measurements and no..it's done all the time. If there is enough room behind the sofa normally a sofa table is put there. You can easily make a simple one yourself.

      I'm guessing that the room is ~ 12 feet from the door to the wall across.

      The room has a difficult layout. Unless you move the cable to the side by the door.

      But getting the cable guy to come over is kind of a pain.
