Lamp cords
I have a long LR/DR combination 30 x 14
The house is on a slab foundation, but I do not want all my furn. up
against the walls. How can I use Lamps. Is there a cordless method?
The flooring is Hardwood, with a large carpet over it in the LR area.

i don't know of any cordless lamps, and you certainly don't want cords under area rugs or the carpet, since that would be a fire hazard. floor outlets would be the answer, if you didn't have a slab foundation.
the only solution i see would be to install recessed lighting and/or an attractive centered overhead light fixture and/or use floor lamps or table lamps on end tables that ARE up against the wall. even with floating your sofa & some other pieces out in the middle of the room, you should be able to place at least one chair up against a wall & use either a floor or table lamp next to it, since the room is only 15 feet wide.
