Every successful decorative lighting project presents a combination of lamps with different functional characteristics but with a similar concept and style.
Suspension, appliqué, floor and ceiling lamps are types of lighting that together act uniquely and effectively in creating the right atmosphere.
In fact, each model is suitable for satisfying the functional and aesthetic needs of private homes, hotels and restaurants.
Specifically, floor lamps have the ability to both illuminate an indoor space and furnish it, giving a unique stylistic appearance to the areas they occupy.
Floor lamps become design accessories, ideal for indoor and outdoor lighting, and with them, you can customise each room.
Let's focus on the role that these solutions play in a lighting project.

Light is the key element for a well-designed interior design project.
It is often presented through lighting solutions in diversified models, useful for guaranteeing light gradations that are ideal for different purposes:
These lamps lend themselves, through design and lighting ability, to the creation of the atmosphere in different places.
In particular, floor lamps are simple and intuitive lighting solutions, suitable for every environment and use. That is why you should include them in your lighting project.
The light points of a room, created by this lamp model, if placed in the right corners, make spaces look larger and stimulate the viewer's eye, accompanying them in a pleasant and stimulating visual and sensory journey.
So, it is necessary to identify the most suitable placement for the light sources, also thinking about their purpose for that specific location.
Keep in mind some basic aspects that will determine the final outcome of your lighting choices.
3 useful tips for selecting designer floor lamps for your project
In addition to filling the room with light points, floor lamps enhance the space and offer excellent levels of task lighting and ambient lighting.
To effectively choose the most suitable models for the lighting project you are working on, you should follow 3 basic steps.
1. Choose your floor lamps based on their location
Floor lamps or standard lamps: which model is the most suitable?
Before choosing among the various types of floor lamps, you should think about its placement and above all its use.
You could use standard lamps to provide direct and functional light for tables and workplaces in a restaurant.
At this link, you can find valuable content that guides you step by step in choosing lamps for restaurant lighting.
Alternatively, to create a more comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, choose indirect light sources, suitable for a hotel wellness and spa area, for example.

2. Evaluate the lamp’s light distribution capacity
It is important to choose both lighting sources capable of distributing diffused light throughout the room and lamps that are able to direct the light onto the task zones. Floor lamps and standard lamps are perfect solutions for these tasks.
More floor lamps placed in the corners of a room will guarantee essential reference light points to move in total comfort, while standard lamps will ensure excellent lighting for activities. Specifically, this model lends itself well to the accent lighting of furniture items and design objects.
3. Identify the most suitable level of brightness
Once you have established the location of the floor lamps you have chosen, you will be able to determine the appropriate light intensity level.
Warm temperatures for floor lamps positioned in comfort zones such as the drawing room, living room and bedrooms. A temperature with colder tones and more dynamic light for the kitchen, bathroom and office, rooms where correctly illuminating activities is essential.
