Floor Lamp Considerations

Author: Elijiah Rampart

For starters let us just say that you just bought a new home, or you want to redecorate your existing home.  You probably put in a lot of time thinking about the carpet, the paint, and the furniture you will use.  One item that if often left out of consideration is what type of lighting you will be using.  The type of lighting you decided to use will have a significant impact on not just the feel of your home, but also what your new decorum will look like to others.  If you are on a budget, and can't afford expensive fixed lighting, one good alternative is to use a floor lamp.  These types of lamps are extremely adaptable, and can be moved or adjusted in a certain way to make it fit in well with just about any room.  Here are a few points to consider when thinking about adding a floor lamp to your home.

A floor lamp will come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, colors, and materials for you to choose.  These lamps are extremely trendy right now and for good reason, they simply look good almost anywhere they are placed.  They can add a special ambiance and feel to a room that no other piece of furniture can quite add, so it is worth your time and effort to look in to them carefully.  A floor lamp is most often used in a corner of a room to brighten it up and add some utility to it.  These lamps can often look extremely well when placed in an entry way, dining room, or even a sitting room or parlor.

There are three main styles, or groups, or floor lamps for your to consider.  The main type is the console floor lamp, which is the classic type you will often see.  This usually has a rounded base, with a vertical pole, and a downward shining light on top.  The next common type of floor lamp is the Torchiere, which is similar to a console lamp except that the light beam is directed upward toward the ceiling.  The last main type of floor lamp is the arc floor lamp.  You can spot these because the pole that hold the light is not vertical but it curves upward.  These lights can either have one main bulb, or several smaller bulbs that give it a starburst look.

When shopping for you lamp the first think to keep in mind to see if it is compatible with the style of your room.  For example, you would not want to buy a new age lamp for a Southwestern style adobe house, it just would not look right.  You need to select a lamps that will enhance the furnishings and colors of your home.  You may have to bring the lamps home to see if it looks just right, and if it does not you will have to return it and try again.

Look for a lamp that is quality made with good craftsmanship and attention to detail.  You will want your lamps to last a long time, so it is worth it to pay a little extra to get a floor lamp that is made well.  Check to make sure the lamp is sound and stable, so that it does not wobble with every bump and knock it may get.  Also look really close at the finish and paint to make sure that it is laid down well without any gaps or bubbles.

Finally, inspect the bulb carefully and make sure that is bright enough to light up the area you need it in.  There is nothing more frustrating in a home than a lamp that is too dim and does not put out enough light.  You can even buy a model with an adjustable bulb to accommodate different moods.  Be sure you new floor lamp can use the new compact fluorescent bulbs so you can be as energy efficient as possible.
