Read on to find out how to find exactly the floor lamp that best suits your needs and the style of your home.
The shape of the floor lamp
Floor lamps are roughly divided into 3 groups depending on their shape and functionalities: classic, arched or with indirect light.
Classic
It consists of a stable base and a fabric shade. The light shines through the screen smoothly and without dazzling. The classic model is both decorative and functional, constantly reinventing itself based on trends, for example incorporating a tripod-shaped foot.
Arc lamps
The arc floor lamps are made up of a foot, more or less curved, and a lampshade that hangs from the top. It is used as spot lighting in areas such as the sofa or the reading corner, and is perfectly suited to relaxation areas.
With indirect light
The shade opens at the top, giving off a cozy, non-dazzling indirect light. It is perfect as a second point of light. In addition, some incorporate a second arm, called the reading arm, which makes them doubly functional.
The function
Floor lamps always fulfill a specific task. Depending on the model, one can speak of a functional or decorative floor lamp.
Standing lamps

If you want a functional lamp, choose between floor lamps with fabric shades and a light source of around 400 lumens or floor lamps with high intensity indirect light. Of course, it is better to opt for LED technology.
Decorative floor lamps
