There are many ways used across the globe in which we could light up our homes. A great number of us may use tube lights, bulbs and chandeliers, while the rest of us may even be sticking to the traditional and ancient lighting method of using candles, especially in areas where electricity may be hard to come by!
Whatever the means used, additional light here and there scattered in different rooms creates a different ambience all together. Soft glowing light exudes elegance and creates a calm atmosphere, while bright light may be used in study areas and places that are generally difficult to see. Still the extremity of the light is based on its particular use in that room.
The most common means of adding light is by use of a lamp. A lamp can change the appearance of a room by lighting up a dark corner or filling up an empty space. Many types of lamps exist and one of them is the floor lamp.
The different styles of floor lamps beautify a room and compliment the rest of the furniture in that room. It is also a flexible piece of furniture as you can change it easily. Just change the lamp shade, the bulb or the location and you have a different setting altogether.
Floor lamps come in all shapes and sizes. The different styles vary too. The most popular ones are Contemporary, Art deco, Country, Mission, Modern, Rustic, Retro, Traditional, Tropical and Craftsman. The lighting elements offered by floor lamps are incandescent and halogen. The lighting purposes may be such as, spot lighting, ambient lighting and utility lighting. Floor lamps come in a bevy of textures, commonly wood, plexiglass, chrome, glass, metal and wrought iron.
Floor lamps are mobile unlike other light sources, which have to be installed and stay in a fixed position. These lamps may simply be picked up and moved to a different location. This is advantageous where some of us have the tendency to change the furniture in the house a lot. They are also easy to install, you merely buy the lamp and have it plugged in in the place you want it to be.
When buying a lamp, there are a number of things to be put into consideration. Namely, the purpose, the amount of space available and the switch that lamp has. These lamps can be bought at online stores, furniture shops or in large supermarkets.
