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”.
