Where do you plug the lamp on the end table in?

9 years ago

I love this look but I'd have a cord running across the floor for everyone to trip on!

Hello krisgal94,

Thank you for the excellent question! We chose to include outlets on the floor under the gray sofa that is facing the fireplace so that it is possible to plug in floor lamps or table lamps without having a cord visible. It is generally easier to have these floor outlets put in during the construction phase; however, you can still retrofit a house with them, but it is a bit more work to do.

Hope that helps!
