Its origins date back to the 1960s and this model is still very successful today. At the beginning, this lamp was not designed for homes, but mainly for restaurants and bars; only later did it enter homes and often <strong>within living rooms alongside armchairs and sofas<\/strong>, giving a real touch of elegance to the whole environment with its pendant light.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>SCULPTURE LAMP<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These are <strong>design floor lamps<\/strong> \u2013 real pieces of furniture, which can find space in every corner of the lounge or living room.

WHAT HEIGHT SHOULD THE FLOOR LAMP HAVE? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The height of the floor lamp is another very important factor. <strong>The higher the light source, the greater the diffusion of light<\/strong>. Consequently, a <strong>tall floor lamp<\/strong> will produce perfect ambient lighting, while it will not be suitable to light up a working area or a corner dedicated to reading.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the height of the floor lamp must be <strong>proportionate with the surrounding space<\/strong>, with the type of furniture and, obviously, <strong>with the other sources of light<\/strong> in the room.<\/p>\n<p>In a living room with low furniture, a <strong>tall floor lamp<\/strong> may not fill the whole room, while a <strong>low<\/strong> or ground-level <strong>floor lamp <\/strong>could create a <strong>design<\/strong> and refined<strong> effect<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In principle, however, <strong>floor lamps have a height of no less than 70 cm<\/strong> with the light bulbs exceeding the eye line, in order not to annoy people around. If the floor lamp is lower, it is important that the light source is carefully hidden to prevent it from being unpleasant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The height of the standing lamp <\/strong>also<strong> determines the width of the base<\/strong>: the higher the floor lamp, the greater the diameter of the base. Therefore, in a small environment, where space is limited, it will be more useful to opt for medium-height floor lamps.<\/p>\n<p>Having a bright and welcoming home is essential not only for aesthetic reasons, but also to prevent eye strain and improve the perception of colours and of shades within the environment. At the same time, in some environments, it is important to be able to control the intensity of the light.<\/p>\n<p>Many <strong>floor lamps<\/strong> are also <strong>dimmable<\/strong> and this function allows you to adjust the level of brightness according to your needs or to the atmosphere that you want to create: an ideal feature, for example, in the bedroom.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;120709&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>4. WHERE TO PLACE FLOOR LAMPS ROOM BY ROOM <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<strong>Standing lights<\/strong> can be placed <strong>in any room of your home<\/strong>, from the entrance to the bedroom. Even the dining table can be perfectly lit up with an <strong>arc lamp<\/strong>, as long as the height is more than 1.60 metres.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let&#8217;s have a look at how to place <\/strong>these<strong> lighting fixtures <\/strong>in the different areas of your home.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>LIVING ROOM FLOOR LAMP<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The living room is one of those traditional spaces in which to place <strong>floor lighting fixtures<\/strong>. Usually, <strong>living room floor lamps<\/strong> are placed <strong>near a sofa<\/strong>, an <strong>armchair <\/strong>or near a <strong>coffee table<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>living room floor lamp<\/strong> must be <strong>bright<\/strong> enough to allow a reading activity or any other everyday activity, while the colour must take into account the shades used within the same environment. For this reason, the <strong>floor lamps by Patrizia Volpato<\/strong> <strong>can have many different types of finishes<\/strong> in order to best respond to every need in terms of taste and style.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>LOUNGE FLOOR LAMPS<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the lounge, <strong>floor lamps<\/strong> can perform several functions. They can be used as a piece of furniture or <strong>to create a particular corner<\/strong> in the room, such as a reading corner. A <strong>dimmable LED floor lamp<\/strong> offers the opportunity to combine <strong>energy savings<\/strong> and <strong>light intensity<\/strong>, this way perfectly completing the existing lighting system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Patrizia Volpato<\/strong> proposals are able to satisfy any of your needs with both <strong>classic<\/strong> and <strong>modern styles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>BEDROOM FLOOR LAMPS<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the bedroom, <strong>standing lamps<\/strong> can also be used as a substitute for bedside lamps, by considering the right height. <strong>Stem floor lamps in pairs<\/strong> \u2013 one on each side of the bed \u2013 thanks to their &#8220;minimal&#8221; shape, are an excellent solution <strong>capable of giving elegance<\/strong> and a serene atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, <strong>floor lamps<\/strong> can be used to highlight a specific area of the room, by drawing attention to it.
