Trick is to lose no light to the ground. Every square inch of space under that light should be a lovely sea of green. Oh hey! It's even called that!
If you like to grow out large plants, try to arrange things so that the top of the plant is spread out nice and wide and shallow, so that each plant takes up a good bit of floor space (have the available pot space to match!), and the light can penetrate well.
