where are the lamps plugged in?

10 years ago

I don't see any electrical cords or floor outlets for the lamps on the tables next to the sofas - do they work?.

Either staged strictly for the photo or photoshopped out. I always think this is a cheat, as it is impossible for someone to recreate the layout. Presents more problems than it solves.

I agree - outlets on the floor, then you can forget a rug. Thanks

Thanks for the question. Yes, this is always a tricky one. The home was designed with outlets below each sofa for functionality, but photographers typically photoshop the cords out (if staging pieces still have cords), as it takes away from the aesthetic of the shot.

Here, yes. But if the end table is opaque and the floor socket is properly positioned, the cord really can be invisible from view from most angles.
