category Lamps, posted April 24, 2011

Talking about light fixtures, it should be mentioned floor lamps are as popular as desk lamps. But unlike desk lamps, floor lamps can light all room. As for interior, a floor lamp with a long elegant base can make us feel that our room is bigger and its ceiling is higher. We can place it near our arm-chair and enjoy reading in the evening or use it as a bed lamp.

As for design of floor lamps, there are a lot of styles today. They are contemporary, antique, oriental, country, traditional, rustic, retro and Tiffany. In turn, the lamps can be made of various materials. If you prefer the modern style and low prices, you can buy a floor lamp made of aluminum, nylon, polyester, vinyl, glass, MDF, metal or plastic. For antique style, marble, copper and bronze lamps will be ideal. Aluminum floor lamps are weather-resistant and can be used on patios. Their price starts at $80. As for rustic style, cedar, wicker, linen and bamboo are able to create necessary atmosphere in the room. By the way, cedar is not only beautiful, but strong and has excellent aroma. Price of the cedar floor lamp is about $250. Floor lamps made of wicker will look stylish in any place. They will be in harmony both with classic, oriental and country interior. When we talk about oriental style, silk and wood enter our mind, as well as porcelain.

But it is important to take into account not only material and design of floor lamps, but place where you are going to put them. The floor lamp should match size of the room. If you are searching the floor lamp for reading it would be great to buy the model featuring two lamps. The upper lamp should have a lamp shade in the shape of a cup to provide background light and the lower lamp should be adjusted to the holder and regulated. There are also decorative floor lamps designed to highlight some places in the room.
