Floor lamps add beauty, charm and eloquence to any room in your home. They are probably the most versatile lamps available and an inexpensive way to change the look of any room.

Balance Your Light
Create a balance of light between different fixtures such as Tiffany style stained glass floor lamps, torchi floor lamps, wall-mounted sconces, ceiling pendants and chandeliers so that the light is spread evenly and flows in between rooms.
To figure out the amount of illumination that you will need to use the formula: Length X Width X 1.5. For example, if your room measures 12 X 18, your room needs about 325 watts. However, you do not want to get that all from one fixture.
The best way to light an area is to layer the light sources. You first need to survey the space and determine what the areas where tasks will be performed are; what the focal point of the room is.
Next, consider any dark spaces in your lighting scheme, in other words, in places that need the most light. Floor lamps are usually used for task lighting. The light shines down and is most commonly used for reading. This is where Tiffany lamps would fit right in. Not only do they light the dark area, but also give it a splash of color. The shades of Tiffany lamps allow the light to shine through casting beautiful colorful lighting.
Torchieres
Floor torchi lamps, used as ambient lighting or mood lighting cast their light upwards. They are a great addition to any decor where existing overhead lighting is not sufficient, or provide a more indirect light as desired. Originally candelabras, torchieres give a distinct look to any room. Available in the many styles, torchieres are a decorative accessory in its own right.
Bridge Arm Lamps
A bridge arm is a lamp with an arm that supports its shade. It is used for reading or lighting a dark area of a room. Bridge arm lamps are mostly used for reading or could be placed by a desk.
