Look for a floor lamp that provides the focused light you need, in order to cover more ground.
Try a multi-directional floor lamp if you want to twist and turn the lights in all directions. It’s like three lamps in one. When deciding on style look around the room at your existing decor and finishes for style cues. Do you have a neutral couch, a pattern lampshade is always fun. Or try one in a bold color to breathe new life into an outdated foor lamp.
Is your room a tad on the dark side? A linen or cotton lampshade lets more light through, and wider shades do too. Just make sure the lampshade covers the light socket, and you also want to be sure the light bulb is at least three and a half inches from the shade on all sides. Once that’s done, plug in your new lamp and have fun with a good book
Floor lamps are almost a must-have for a well-designed lighting plan. They are beautiful, dramatic or sleek and sophisticated – an instant touch of modern or traditional depending on the style.
