But, when you are buying this kind of floor lamp, you should take the décor of your home into consideration. For example, an expensive and classic marble standing lamp is impossible match with the modern décor. 

2. When you are buying upward-illuminated floor lamp, the most important thing is the height of the ceiling. Take the 1.7 meters to 1.8 meters floor lamp as an example, the height of ceiling is better higher than 2.4 meters. If the ceiling is too low, the light will be concentrated in a local area only, making people feel that the light is too bright and not soft. What’s more, the ceiling should be white or light-colored. It will be better if the materials of ceiling are reflective.

3. If you are going to buy a direct-illuminated floor lamp, the bottom of lampshade should be lower than your eyes, then your eyes will not be hurt by direct light. What’s more, if the difference of indoor light is too much, it will easily makes your eyes feel tired. So, it’s better to buy a dimmable floor lamp. Besides, because the light of direct-illuminated lamp is very concentrated, you should keep the mirror and glass far away from the reading place, or the reflection will hurt your eyes.
