Adequately lighting large rooms, such as the bedroom, is very important both on a decorative and functional level. Floor lamps for bedrooms provide ambient light, create cozy atmospheres, define areas, and transform the room depending on the style you want.
Floor lamps with a wide shade provide ambient or diffused light and have a decorative effect.
Those with a flexible head and narrow screen are ideal for reading corners because they allow directing the beam of light to a specific point.
Coordinating the floor lamp’s design with the ceiling and table lamp for the living room will help you create a balanced decor.
How to choose floor lamps
The first thing to decide is the use that is going to be made of the lamp: if it is going to illuminate a whole room or a specific point, the amount of light you require (in lumens), whether you want the adjustable arm, etc.
The wide-screen type of lamp provides ambient or diffused light and has a decorative effect. Lamps with a narrow screen are also used to illuminate a reading area. In this case, we recommend that they have an adjustable arm to be able to direct the beam of light.
You have to take care of the use that is made of light because depending on your choice it can make the room larger or smaller. In this sense, the color of the walls, ceiling, and floor must also be taken into account, since dark tones need more points of light to achieve the same luminosity as light color.
The living room, the bedroom, or an office, for example, are propitious rooms to create a reading area. It can be achieved with a specific point of light such as a floor lamp, made up of an adjustable and directable arm to be able to direct the beam of light.
Before you choose a floor lamp, it is important to consider the size of the room. Floor lamps come in a variety of sizes and shapes, so it is important to select one that will fit in the space without overwhelming it.
Decorate with floor lamps
Lamps are key elements in the decoration of a room: they are on because they focus attention on the area they illuminate and they are off because they are objects worth highlighting. It is advised to match the floor lamp’s design to that of the table and ceiling lamps in order to create a well-balanced decoration.
They are available with floral, stamped, metallic die-cuts… Choose the style according to your preferences: rustic, modern, ethnic, Japanese-inspired, etc. Very tall lamps with curved arms are currently a trend to illuminate and decorate the living room.
The lighting also intervenes in the decoration. You can play with the tone of the light that the lamp projects by combining the color of the lampshade and that of the bulb. Light’s hue is measured in degrees, Kelvin. Basically, we distinguish between white light (suitable for work areas) and yellow light (for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms).
Conclusion
The floor lamps are a great way to add light and style to any room. They come in a variety of styles, sizes, and colors, so you can find one that fits your decor perfectly. They are also relatively inexpensive and easy to install, making them a great choice for anyone looking to add a bit of light and style to their home.
