Quick answer: Place a floor lamp beside or slightly behind a reading chair, keep the shade bottom near shoulder height when seated, use warm LED bulbs (2700K) which run cool near wood, and give sculptural lamps some open space so their shape reads.
Reading light
Set the lamp just behind your shoulder. The flower floor lamp with solid wood base works beside an armchair.
As sculpture
Twisted forms deserve open space. An artistic twisted floor lamp can stand alone in a corner.
Bedroom glow
A rustic sculptural floor lamp gives soft light without a bedside table.
Bulbs
Use warm white LED bulbs at the listed wattage; they stay cool next to wood.
