Beautiful and Functional Zone Lighting with Floor Lamps
Classic floor lamps have fabric shades that create a homely diffused light. Targeted lighting is mainly provided by halogen spotlights and light-emitting diodes. LED floor lamps are available in every conceivable shape because of the tiny light-emitting diodes free designers from almost any restrictions. There is a suitable floor lamp for every room, even if space is limited! Ceiling uplighters with reading lights or Mother and child floor lamps fulfill two tasks simultaneously, providing indirect light for pleasant room lighting and a targeted light beam for a reading chair or sitting area.
Using Decorative Furnishings to Increase the Room's Aesthetic Appeal
Free-standing lamps for living rooms are often used primarily for decorative purposes. If their light is not necessary, they look particularly good when discreetly arranged in a corner of a room. Lamps whose shades have a special design are particularly eye-catching. A lampshade does not always have to be plain white. Light beams of different colours and elaborately crafted lampshades also increase the aesthetic of the room where the lamp is placed immensely. There are even lampshades for floor lamps that create unique light beams on the wall thanks to their shape.
There are many ways of setting the scene for a purely decorative lamp in the home. Care should be taken to ensure that the corner where the lamp is placed offers sufficient space and is not occupied by other home accessories. Otherwise, the room can quickly become cluttered and the decorative effect of the floor lamp or uplighter is lost. It is also not advisable to place them near curtains; not only transparent curtains then allow direct views into the apartment. To avoid the prying eyes of neighbors, it is better to opt for opaque curtains. Floor lamps for bedrooms should also not only provide light but also embellish the furnishings.
Support for Watching Television
Floor lamps and Uplighters for living rooms, which serve as an additional light source when watching TV, have a functional value. Many people prefer a decorative light that is bright enough not to endanger their eye health. Using the TV without an additional light source has been proven to be damaging to the eyes because excessive light-dark contrasts strain the eyes in the long run.
Moreover, it is much easier to find the opening of the popcorn bag during a film evening if a floor lamp or an uplighter provides additional lighting. To fulfill this purpose, the lights are best positioned close to the TV set. Of course, care should be taken to ensure that the light does not blind the people watching TV - ideally, the lights should be dimmable so that you can set just the right level of brightness. Another popular option for discreet ambient lighting while watching TV is to arrange LED strips behind the TV.
Workspace lighting
Anyone who works at a desk at night knows that the ceiling lamp does not always provide enough light. Especially for reading, it is simply not bright enough. For this reason, many people use a floor lamp or an uplighter as additional lighting while working. Ideally, the lamp is positioned close to the desk. It is essential to ensure that floor lamps for workplaces do not cause glare. In many cases, an efficient table lamp on the desk or work table should also not be overlooked when also using a floor lamp.
