Why you should use floor lamps instead of desk lamps in your bedroom

Floor lamps are very versatile in every room and many people prefer them to table lamps. One of the reasons is that they can be placed almost anywhere, in any corner of any room, while giving every room that soft, pleasant light that rests and relaxes the eyes.

Desk lamps have relatively few placement options, they are mostly placed on tables, desks, and nightstands, and unless you have a stand under them, they can’t be placed anywhere. The floor lamp, on the other hand, can be placed next to a table, desk, or in a corner of the room to provide soft, spot light. Some lamps, such as the floor arc type, have these flexible necks and arcs that provide additional functionality. For example, they can be adjusted in various positions to illuminate different places or the entire room.

Also, they have additional features compared to the traditional desktop variety. Since they illuminate from above and below, they are perfect for adding light to the room and particular place where people gather to talk. Also depending on the style, which ranges from very sophisticated designs to totally minimalist designs, the floor light can accentuate the decoration of the room very well. And yes, I mention the plural because it’s not uncommon for people to buy more than one lamp for their rooms.

Unlike ceiling lights that provide illumination from above going from light to dark, these will illuminate a corner or section of a room and can even highlight a particular object, a piece of art that the host wants to show off to visitors. Of course, such a lamp is a beauty in itself, so it can be displayed as a stylish additional piece of furniture in the room, making guests forget about its utility aspect and focus on its modern design.

One of the most interesting types is the antique floor lamp. While used for its functional feature, it really enhances a room’s décor, adding that vintage look that is so “chic” today. Antique items always captivated people’s eyes and having an antique style brass piece for many people choose especially if they already have brass items in the room such as brass door and cabinet handles.

When shopping for your next light source, opt for a floor lamp and you won’t be sorry.
