Floor Lamp Shade

A good floor lamp can be the most useful lamp in your house. Ability to position light directly on tasks at hand is advantageous to reading and handwork. Many antique and vintage floor lamps are easily restored offering a vintage alternative to contemporary styles. Create a focal point with an authentic floor lamp shade toping a vintage lamp. Effect can be dramatic or calming depending on the atmosphere you want to achieve.

Character of your room should be reviewed. At its best: style, material and pattern of a floor lamp shade should harmonize and accentuate your decor. Light output is another matter as lamps may be used for room light, task lighting or both. White and light shades typically provide more light than darker shades. However floor lamps provide a slightly different situation, light is directed downward onto task surfaces. Provided task lighting is the lamp's main purpose any color should work. Choosing a replacement floor lamp shade is a matter of personal taste. Your style, color scheme and needed light output should be considered.
