An excellent
addition to a
room that provides functional
task lighting as well as
creating ambient mood
lighting are floor lamps that
will brighten dark corners and
bring an elegant touch to your
décor. A standard
lamp
can
provide an alternative to
overhead lighting and is ideal
for areas that have large
spaces which aren’t always
used together. If you have a
dining room at the end of a
reception room you probably
use one end or the other,
once mealtimes and after
dinner conversation is over. It
would be an elegant
arrangement to have
matching floor lamps at either
end to bring continuation to
the space and inject an
element of symmetry and
balance into your room
design.
Many people use a floor
standing lamp close to their
seating so they might use it
for extra illumination as a
reading lamp
when doing
crosswords, Sudoku puzzles,
checking TV listings or simply
curled up with a novel to
enjoy. Currently, there is a
huge range of
contemporary
floor lamps that would
enhance any modern setting.
Styles include arched or
curved stands, branches,
adjustable shade positions,
single shades, and multiple
bulbs in a spray
configuration – all sorts of
attractive
designs.
There is a variety of choices
in the finish available with
wood, black, chrome and
white all looking fabulous.
Think about the position of the
lamp before you buy it so that
you know how much cable
you will require to have it
placed where you want it –
not where it will reach to.
Measure the distance from the
socket you intend to use to
where the base of the floor
lamp will stand and write it
down so that you can
compare when you speak to a
sales representative. |
