The 1980s with Huey Lewis and the News and "It's hip
to be square," really wasn't that long ago. Okay maybe
the song has gone by the wayside but the style certainly
hasn't. Square floor lamps are real hip and a great room
addition!
Combining round with square looks great. Add a Mission
style floor lamp beside your cozy round chair, or how
about a square base with funky round shades that use halogen
lamps near a window? Combine square and round in the room
or in the lamp. Let your creativity flow because the end
result will be a very hip room!
Your house is rather like the Jetson's with every high
tech gadget known to mankind yet you're a traditional
gal at heart. Your rooms are filled with trendy furnishings
and plenty of metal but something really seams to be missing.
Perhaps there's too much Silicon Valley and not enough
of that traditional gal showing through?
High Tech Silicon Valley might be very trendy but it
needs a touch of beauty to and what better way to accomplish
that than with a trendy floor lamp like a Tiffany lamp.
When you're tired of all the high tech gadgets shut them
off and enjoy the beauty of your lamp!
You dream about the Greek goddess you were in your past
life, you envision drinking delicious wine and togas.
Okay back to real time but wait, modern life can encompass
a little touch of ancient Greece with a torchiere lamp.
Of course your torchiere lamp can also be contemporary,
it can look like something sci fi from the future, or
it be traditional as in a Tiffany style. They can be an
elegant addition to any room. There come in a wide variety
of shapes, styles, and colors and choosing one of these
tall elegant creatures is simply a matter of choosing
a color that will compliment your room. Keep the flame
alive for years to come.
Now all that's left to overcome is your fear that you've
got a bad case of bad taste. There's just a few little
tips and you'll be choosing your floor lamp like a pro.
1. When it comes to mixing your end tables with your
floor lamps try matching glass and bronze or brass for
a contemporary look or bamboo and brass for a rustic
look.
2. Use halogen lights on metal fixtures for a very contemporary
look. Add great contrast by adding a couple of silver
antique
table lamps
.
3. For useful lighting choose a down light and place
it at the end of the coach. Choose one with at least
3 lamps and 5 is perfect.
4. If you don't want to look like you just walked out
of cloning room on the Starship Enterprise instead of
matching all your table and floor lamps choose lamps
that are different but complimentary to each other.
5. For those dark corners that make you want to scream
add a tourchiere.
6. Your room lighting should be layered. It should be
a combination of floor lamps, table lamps, wall sconces,
recessed lighting, and any other type of lighting depending
on the room.
7. Your floor lamps aren't just for reading anymore.
They brighten dark spaces and play an integral role
in your rooms décor.
8. For better light quality choose lamps that have glass
or fabric shades.
9. For reading your floor lamp should be about 60 inches
while your chair will be around 42 inches. This will
allow the light to nicely envelop you.
10. Floor lamp combos offer quite a mix from multiple
lights which often include a gooseneck or a nightlight
to built on tables. They look especially great in a
country décor.
Floor lamps are a valuable addition to any room's décor.
Be sure you make the most out it. Whether your are a maverick
or a romantic at heart there's a lamp to reflect your
true personality and to set the mood of your room.
