Quality Floor Lamps

More than just about any other item in your home's decor, your choice of home lighting offers an opportunity to create spaces with the feeling of lightness. Lighting options in ceiling lights, chandeliers, table lamps, and floor lamps let you decorate with light, making areas in a room that draw the eye and provide a sense of warmth. Of the various types of lighting fixtures, floor lamps may be the most versatile of all, since you can place one wherever you have floor space.

Although you can place floor lamps anywhere there's a floor; you do want to give some thought to optimal placement. For starters, it's obviously not a good idea to put floor lamps in the middle of the flow of traffic, which means the paths that people naturally take through rooms and to connect from one room to the next. 

You'll also want to think about using a floor lamp for either task lighting or accent lighting. Floor lamps can shed useful light on areas where tasks such as work or reading take place, and floor lamps also do an excellent job sending out light in ways that provide illumination to a specific area of the room or even showcase a particular piece of art or decorative furniture.
