A symmetric and spacious living room is half done if it is not accessorised with elegant floor lamps on either side. Lamps of this type serve multiple purposes. They look charming in reading corners and the light generates an ambience that is warm, hospitable, and cosy. Floor lamps should be tall enough so that they do not block conversations. Shorter lamps can be placed against the wall. Attractive lamp posts with a shiny brass finish, detailed wood carvings, and embellished with fine art work, can look very chic. Contemporary pieces are the ones with oxidised metal finish which require little or no maintenance. Floor lamps are portable especially when you rearrange furniture. Some of them also double up as telephone stands with a flexible pull-out shelf to place minimum stationery. Painted glass lamps and glass partitions with embedded bulbs give out a very sophisticated look. Place a well-lit stained glass partition to mark different spaces in the drawing room and watch it come alive.
Old-fashioned table lamps look good on study desks and in the home office. However, you can opt for trendy lamps to adorn your desk. Make sure however, that the lamp emits the right amount of light for comfortable reading and writing.
Lamps are available with flexible functionalities. Dimmers can emit bright or dim light, as the need arises. Diffused lighting generates a romantic ambience and works well for the bedroom
