Nowadays, it is increasingly possible to find in various interiors such an original and multifunctional design element as a floor lamp. With the help of fashionable floor lamps in the interior, you can place light accents in any room of your home in the most original way.

What it is?

A floor lamp is most often a floor or table device, which is actively used in residential and office premises, on the street. This is a special type of lamp with a high leg and a shade that hides the light source. With the help of a lampshade, the lamp emits not too bright (more diffused) light, which will not tire the eyes.

Design

The structure of floor lamps is extremely simple.

Traditional floor lamps are usually constructed from the following elements:

  • High base (tripod or legs).
  • Lampshade or shade made of fabric, glass or paper, and even crystal is often found in more expensive models.
  • Inside the lampshade there is a light source - a replaceable screw-in lamp. The lighting elements are both incandescent bulbs (most often halogen) and LEDs.
  • The supply of the product with current passes through a wire (cord), which is passed through the stand, and from there to the socket. A light bulb is placed in the socket.
  • The product has a sturdy stand at the bottom.

The supply of electricity in such lamps can be controlled using a switch (switch), which is usually located either on a stand or on a leg, but more often directly on the electrical wire itself.

Most often it is of the following types:

  • foot;
  • rope;
  • two-key.

How to choose a room?

A floor lamp is indispensable when decorating a place of rest or a place for reading. Most often it is placed on both sides of the sofa, as well as next to the armchairs - or simply placed in the corner of the room.

In a bedroom, the product perfectly fulfills the function of a bedside light source, but only if the size of the room allows it to be placed in such a way that it does not "litter" the space. If the room is small, then choose floor lighting devices with thin legs, with stylish lampshades. In the bedroom, you can pick up a lamp with a clock and lighting.

Just as often, these products can be found in the dining area, as they help create a relaxed atmosphere, and it becomes much more comfortable to eat in such soft light.

Traditionally, this type of product looks great in living rooms. In such rooms, you need not only overhead light, but also good floor lighting. Floor lamps, fishing rods or arched products are well suited for the living room.

As an additional light source, the floor lamp can be placed in the hallway. Here you can experiment and install a plaster sculpture floor lamp or a loft-style floor lamp.
