Though there are many different types of lighting options available to you, few of them provide the flexibility and illumination capabilities that are offered only by floor lamps. These lamps need not be fixed on the wall or ceiling and can be shifted from one location to the other with relative ease. The advantages are more than apparent when you make changes in the layout of your room.
Adding additional fixed lighting is not a solution when you shift your bed from one corner of the room to the other, or if you are planning to shift your study table to a different location to free up some floor space. Adding a fixed lighting accessory requires you to bore holes in the wall to fix up the lamp holder. Tomorrow if you do not require that lamp, the accessory along with the lamp will be a sore sight on your wall. However, as far as floor lamps are concerned, all you need to do is unplug the power cord from the power outlet and physically shift the lamp from its old location to the new.
This hardly takes a few minutes and does not require the assistance of an electrician. This apart, the floor lamps are available in different types and are constructed out of different materials like brass, wood, steel etc. They can also be used as decorative pieces and enhance the beauty of your room. They also throw light over a greater area and height as compared to the table lamps.
