The floor lamp is a floor lamp with a long leg, the top of which is represented by a lampshade. To date, there is a wide range of products, different in style, form, conditions of use and, of course, the material of manufacture. Now we will dwell in detail on each distinctive characteristic.

Scope of application
Lamps can have a transparent lampshade, reflective and diffusive. If you decide to choose a floor lamp for reading books and needlework, be sure to purchase a model with a high quality directional light flux. Usually in such products there is not one plafond, but several. All of them can be directed to the right zone. 
In the event that you need a luminaire for playing light and additional highlighting of decor elements( for example, paintings on the wall), we recommend that you choose a design in which the ceiling lights are pointing upwards. This feature of the design creates a scattering light flux, which will focus on the desired object. As a rule, in such floor lamps there is one plafond and a semi-transparent or opaque lampshade. 
There should also be noted another important nuance - the power of fixtures. For the first case, you need to choose a floor lamp with powerful light bulbs that will allow you to read and knit in normal light. To illuminate objects, you can use not too bright light bulbs, becausethe power directly will affect the power consumption.
Stylistic features of
The second, not less important moment - the right choice of a floor lamp in style. Do not forget that the luminaire has impressive dimensions and in addition to the light source, it will still function as a design element of the room. Depending on the style of your house, you need to select the appropriate design of the legs and shade. 
For example, to a crystal chandelier in the hall a floor lamp with a glass lampshade is suitable, as shown in the photo. For the living room, it is better to choose luminaires on flexible legs that can be directed to this or that area of the room. In the bedroom, it's best to use bedside products with a fabric shade( although here again you need to take into account the style of the room).
The original idea is to choose such a lamp to illuminate the bathroom, if its area allows the installation of floor products. In this case, you will make an unusual interior, which you can not find in every apartment. 
Do not forget about the finish of the walls, as well.the luminaire stands out against the backdrop of the entire interior. For example, it's better to choose a floor lamp with a white shade and a bronze leg to the yellow wallpaper, as shown in the photo. Do not buy a model of the same color as the wallpaper, becausein this case the product will merge and no decorative value will bring. 
Additional features of
When choosing a floor lamp for a house, we recommend that you give preference to products that are complemented by the following features:
- Lighting control. In some models, a dimmer is installed, which will allow you to adjust the intensity of lighting in the room. The cost of the upgraded device will not be too different from the conventional model. However, you can change the brightness of the light bulb based on whether you are reading a book or just want to make a dim light in the living room.
- A floor lamp with a shelf can be chosen for reading fans. Put such a lamp near the bed, saving a place in the bedroom.
- The model with the clock and table will look no less original and fit very well in the interior of the living room.
- The floor lamp with remote control is another convenience that will not be superfluous for you. Explain, I think, nothing is worth it - remote on / off light is very convenient and also slightly more expensive than the classical version.
That's all I wanted to tell you about how to choose the right floor lamp for your home! We hope that our recommendations have opened up new knowledge for you and helped with choosing the right model!
