Floor lamps are versatile light fixtures to capitalize on when layering light to maximize the livability and functionality of an interior space. Lighting design is more than addressing the basic visual needs of people. The intensity, composition and distribution of light can affect people on both emotional and biological levels. Therefore, lighting design can be considered as the art of using light to enable vision, enhance visual perception, foster appealing atmospheres, create positive impressions, provide new perspectives, design emotionally stimulating environments, and contribute to regulation of the circadian rhythms. These goals need to be accomplished through a layered approach which composes the lighting itself in layers. A mix of ambient, task and accent lighting creates a more usable, comfortable and inviting environment. Floor lamps are all-rounders. They can be designed to provide task, ambient or accent lighting. These free-standing lights allow for flexibility in providing illuminance as they can be easily repositioned to where they are needed most.
