Floor Lamps

Floor Lamps

Floor lamps are self-supporting indoor lighting fixtures used for reading, ambient lighting and general light sources in a living room or office space. They have a solid base for support, and a central pole to hold the light fixtures in place.

Tips on floor lamps:

• Floor lamps are great when they are used together with overhead lights such as downlights and pendants to provide atmosphere.
• Floor lamps are particularly good to illuminate dark corners, sofas and beds.
• Before you buy a floor light, determine not only its location but also its purpose. Do you want clear light for a dark spot? Do you want a light that illuminates the entire room? Do you want to make a statement even if the light is off?
• Look at where you will be sitting, and hence which direction the floor lamp will shine - and purchase a floor light with a design that will not glare into your eyes.
• Consider a floor lamp with an adjustable arm. These are very modern and flexible.
• For the classic look go for a straight lamp pole with a cloth shade or round globe on top.
• If your walls are painted a dark colour, you will need more lighting.
• Floor lights are the most critical to get the style right, as they are at eye level. The style of your floor lamp should compliment your room and furniture.
