Floor lamps can enhance the intimacy of a room and provide lighting to specific seating or task areas by making them more functional. They can have a strong effect on the mood and the overall style of a room. They’ve become a stylish design element that brings interest and drama to a space in a way furniture and art can't compete with.

What floor lamps are used for?

There are thousands of floor lamps in the market, they are different in material, size and finish. However they have basic functions, below are three general uses for your reference if you consider the functionality.

1. Floor lamps to be used for tasks such as reading, should be placed to the side or behind you when seated. Ideal lamps for this task are those which create a relatively local focused hotspot of light. This can be achieved with a shade on the lamp which focused the light fairly narrowly and aims most of the light downward.

2. Floor lamps to provide ambient light, are best placed at the corners or edges of a room. Ambient light is typically reflected or diffused light. This can be obtained with a torchiere floor lamp which reflects light off the ceiling, or with a tall standing lamp with a shade that diffuses the light outward.

3. Floor lamps for decoration would steer you toward more decorative and less functional lamp types, such as the traditional tiffany floor lamp. The shade could be on a floor lamp with colorful art glass pieces used to form a pattern. Alternatively the lamp shade itself could be colorful or decorative or feature a trim. The lamp base is also something to consider, because the base and the pole together form a large part of the lamp. So a more attractive looking base can add some style to the room, rather than a plain pole.
