Floor lamps

Without properly selected lighting, the interior may appear less attractive and balanced. Fortunately, modern manufacturers produce a wide variety of lighting fixtures. They differ from each other not only in design, but also in designs. Today we will talk about popular floor lamps.

Beautiful floor lamps are widespread due to their mobility. They can be placed in any room, since the installation does not require preparatory work in advance. It is necessary to simply put a floor lamp in a certain place in the room and turn it on. This installation of such lighting ends.

Such a lighting device can be rearranged at any convenient time to a new location. You do not have to spend a lot of time and effort. Using a properly selected floor lamp, you can visually divide the room. Especially often the owners of fashionable studio apartments, in which there are no partitions dividing the space, turn to similar design methods of zoning.

Also, with the help of a floor lamp, you can illuminate only a certain area in the room, which will significantly save on utility bills. For example, in the living room you can use a floor lamp so that it illuminates only a couch with a coffee table. Especially useful is the ability of floor lamps for reading books or embroidery. You can direct the lighting directly to the book or to your handicraft. Reading and working in such conditions is much cozier and more comfortable.

Since such lighting devices are floor-standing, they do not need to buy additional bedside tables, tables, shelves and other furniture. In addition, an elegant floor lamp will be a great addition to a small room.It will not take up much space, but it will be nice to illuminate the space.

Traditional designs of floor instruments consist of a stable base and a tripod to which the light source is attached. The details are basic. Their appearance and design features depend on the appearance and functionality of the lamp.

Often, the tripod floor lighting device has considerable size. The height of this part can be from 1 to 2.5 m. Tripods are stationary and flexible. In modern products bending areas are in the rod. With this feature, you can change the flow of light.

These designs are completed with direct light sources.They are fixed on the top of the tripod. These elements can be complemented by a lampshade or remain open. It all depends on the design and style of the floor lamp.

The lampshade is one of the main elements of the floor lamp. But it is not mandatory. In the shops there are a lot of floor lamps in which this item is missing.

Lamp shades of such lighting devices perform two important functions at once:

• they scatter the bright light from the bulb;
• are decorative elements of the interior.

The lighting that comes from the floor lamp must fully meet your requirements, therefore it is necessary to take into account the light source itself. Lampshades made from materials that easily transmit light diffuse it very gently and create the most comfortable atmosphere in the room. Such lighting devices are recommended to have in bedrooms or children's rooms. Often they are used as a night light.

Lamps with special moving stands are most often used for floor lamps with directional light. These parts easily replace the classic table lamps, as they are great for working at the table.

Such lighting devices can be used not only in the working, but also in the recreation area. They are often placed next to chairs or a sofa. Such options are great for embroidery, knitting or reading books. Often, lighting fixtures with directional light are complemented by stands and tables, on which you can put various small items or necessary components for embroidery.

Today, in lighting stores there is a great variety of floor lamps with a variety of designs and lampshades. The consumer can choose for himself not only a classic, but also a more original version, which includes several tripods and several light bulbs.
