I'd select a taller planter and boost the height of your tree by filling the base with something to weight the bottom of the planter.

Love the detail on the planter. Where did you find this one? I'm going to get a black shades for the two lights, table and floor, so I think the black planter is perfect.

I'm no help on the planter, but I was wondering what color your walls are painted. It looks lovely.

Imom -- the walls actually look lighter than they are. BM pewter made 15% darker. Perfect trie dark gray without being too dark.

Great, thank you so much!

I just Googled 'tal planters'

BTW I would not change the lampshade to black. That will be a paper shade and direct the light up and down not out through the fabric. With the deep color of your walls and seating, you can use all the ambient light you can muster for this room.

IMO your current lamp looks too short for your conditions.

I would also consider placing an LED battery-operated light in the planter to shine up through your tree for some balance and mood lighting.

This light has a cord, but even LED waterproof puck lights will work.

Sorry hate fake plants always.

To those of you who hate artificial trees & plants.

I love tropical plants and have them all around the outside of my home where they thrive. However, I have spent a small fortune on live plants for inside my home, and there is no end to battling spider mites & dying trees and orchids. No more! I want the live plant effect, but there's enough nonsense without battling bugs and nature.

There is a small selection of artificial trees that can fool the eye. Some are available through Amazon. Most are not worth it and don't appear real. But every so often there's a plant that does a good job.

Two ideas for you. The copper ones are very pretty.

Veradek has some awesome planter boxes.

Beverly-- I can raise the table lamp with another book. I feel I need to add some weight to that end of the room. Ordered the planter in black and love the detail in it. Thank you for your advice.
