Floor lamps, in addition to being functional in any space because they provide us with additional and indirect lighting, can also be an ideal decorative element to successfully complete the style of a room.
Where and how to use floor lamps
We are very used to placing them in the living room, but today there are designs of all kinds and for all tastes that make it possible to integrate them into practically any corner of our home. They are suitable for the living room, for the bedroom, for the kitchen, for the office...
As you can see in the image gallery, the secret is to know how to choose the right design and the most successful location; Sometimes utility will prevail, that is, that it provides us with extra light at some point in the room, however, at other times what we will seek is to complete the interior design project of a room, because floor lamps are a fundamental piece on many occasions, covering those dead spots of the decoration where we are not clear about what to place, But we know that something is missing.
4 aspects to consider when choosing a floor lamp.
1.- Measurements and size.
It is important to take into account the measurements, both in height and width and depth. There are models that have an arch shape, in these cases we must take note of the height of our ceiling and what the curve of the lamp covers so that it does not collide. Nor should we forget to take into account how much the curve will go down, to prevent anyone from hitting it. It is also necessary to look at the base, sometimes we want to place it in a small corner, we think that it fits us without problems and what ultimately fails us is the base, which may be too large for our space.
In short, as long as our floor lamp has an unconventional shape or design, we will have to analyze all these factors to locate the lamp that best suits our space.
2.- The distribution
Here depending on the atmosphere we want to create we can play with different types of lighting, for example place a set of different types of lamps from the same series (wall lamp, floor lamp and table lamp), another idea can be original to put two or even four floor lamps that frame a certain area of the room, It usually happens in living rooms, to frame the sofa area. It will always depend on the environment we are looking for and the size of our room.
3.- Design, color and material
If we are looking for a fresh, casual and youthful style we can opt for giant lamps, extendable lamps or industrial-inspired lamps, they are more modern and minimalist designs that can give a fun look to our home. However, if we want a more classic or more sophisticated atmosphere, we can opt for floor lamps with a conventional fabric tulip, in case our living room has a Nordic decoration, we can combine the classic tulip with a base in the format of a natural wood tripod, typical of Scandinavian designs and with a more modern contribution. If we have chosen black and white textiles for our space, one way to achieve harmony is to choose designs in metallic finishes (silver, copper, gold) or black.
4.- Lighting
If we are going to place our lamp in a place where we are quite interested in this extra light, for example if it is an office, a workplace or you simply want to create a reading area, we will have to take into account where your lamp emits the light, if it does so from the upper or lower area or if the lamp is adaptable and we can rotate it to focus on one side or the other.
