available that will catch the eye of you. 
Its beauty will be appreciated by the guests who come to your
home.

Why use floor lamps?

The
floor lamps are the lamps that are usually used for reading and as
self-supporting luminaires.  The floor
lamps can be used in the living room for reading and they are also used on
the office surfaces.  Usually the floor
lamps have the solid base and the pole that can easily hold the
luminaire.  At the top is the lampshade
that directs the light in the right direction.  The floor lamps are chosen by the
decorators to match it with the surrounding furniture and also to match the
theme of the room.

Select suitable
lampshades

There are some things
to consider when choosing a floor lamp shade. 
The first and most important thing is to choose a lampshade with the
right height.  You must select the
lampshade which is two thirds of the base height.  This is necessary so that the balance
between top and bottom weight is maintained. 
There is a lot of hardware in the floor lamps like the wire frame
around the light bulb.  So make sure
that the lampshade does not expose the hardware underneath.

The
floor lamp shade should be selected to match the base.  If the base is round, the round shade is
best.  If the base is square or angled,
the square shade fits best.  In short,
the shade of the floor lamp should be chosen so that it complements the base
in the best way.  If you choose the
floor lamp for reading, the transparent shade is more preferred because it
provides the ambient light.  An opaque
shade is the best option when using only the lamp as an accent light.  If you have the room that has antiques, the
pleated lampshades will give the traditional
look.
