A room with both light and shadow can make people feel the space, depth, shape and structure of the room. However, too strong light and dark contrast can easily make the eyes feel tired. So, how to add color to a house with small space, no depth, and general shape and structure? Floor lamps are a good choice.
The Composition of the Floor Light
The floor lamp generally consists of three parts: a lampshade, a bracket, and a base. Its shape is tall and beautiful.
The cover of the floor lamp is required to be concise, elegant and highly decorative. At present, the cylindrical cover is more popular, and the lantern shape is also more used. Some people like to make their own covers, like large lampshades made from white film and paintings, which are very interesting.
The brackets of floor lamps are mostly made of metal, twisted wood or natural materials. The selection or production of the bracket and base must be properly matched with the lampshade. There should be no sense of imbalance in the proportions of “little people wearing big hats” or “slender people wearing small hats”.
How to Lay Out the Floor Lamp
Floor lamps are generally arranged in the living room and rest area. It is often used in conjunction with sofas and coffee tables to meet the needs of room local lighting and decorative home environment. But be careful not to place it next to tall furniture or in areas that hinder activities.
The corner lamp is also a floor lamp. It is like an enlarged table lamp, but with a high base. In terms of function, the corner lamp is the same as the floor lamp. From the appearance point of view, it seems more stable and elegant. It often has a bottle-shaped or cylindrical seat body with an umbrella-shaped or cylindrical cover. It is very beautiful for the corners of sofas or furniture.
If you are TV-centric, I suggest you put a desk lamp or floor lamp next to the sofa or bed. When watching TV, a mild light source is needed to reduce the irritation of the TV screen light on the eyes.
In the living room with sofa, a floor lamp can be decorated behind the sofa. Not only ensure that you need to study, it will not affect your family’s watching TV. The height of the floor lamp is generally 120 to 130cm, and it is best if the height or the angle of the lampshade can be adjusted. The shape and color of the lamps should be coordinated with the furnishings of the living room.
Other Usages of Floor Lamps
If necessary, the light from the floor lamp can also be irradiated upwards for background lighting. Adjusting the height of the lamp can change the diameter of the aperture, thereby controlling the intensity of the light and creating a hazy beauty.
Many people have the habit of reading and writing at night, and the bedroom is private. Therefore, squeezing a small study in the bedroom is convenient and will not disturb the family. Design a small desk next to the bed, and then design a double-layered bookshelf to hang in the air, and finally add a floor lamp, a small study room that is both warm and simple appears in the bedroom.

Modern-style rooms, due to the pursuit of simplicity and tranquility in the atmosphere, lack of indoor furniture and furnishings, leaving more space. Therefore, efforts should be made in lighting design to avoid the simple “one room, one light”.
