WeeGee is bringing something a little bit different to the modern lighting market in the form of these tripod floor lamps. Rather than the usual minimalist white, the shades come in a wide variety of subtle prints (over a dozen) that come to life beautifully when lit. I find them so striking and have actually been considering ditching my $10 Ikea paper light sculptures and investing in one for my living room.
The lamps are available at Design Public, 2Modern and Velocity. I mention all three because they each have some different patterns to choose from; the different styles range from $225-$275. If I do end up buying one, it will definitely be the lovely floral one pictured above.

The first thing you need to decide when choosing a floor lamp is what its main purpose is. Are you getting a lamp to add extra lighting to the whole room, or are you buying a lamp to provide lighting for reading or other activities? Torchiere floor lamps, which have an inverted shade that points toward the ceiling, have light that is directed at the ceiling. These lights are a nice choice if you are looking for a lamp to add warm, inviting light to a dark corner of your room. In a small room a torchiere light can often times be the only lighting source in the room since they give off a good amount of light.If, on the other hand, you are looking to add light for reading or any other task, you may want to consider a floor lamp with directional heads. These lamps have lights that point downward instead of toward the ceiling, and usually the lights can be moved up or down or turned to the side to direct the light where you need it. Floor lamps with directional lighting come both with a single bulb and with multiple bulbs, so be sure to choose a lamp that provides enough light for your needs. If you place a floor lamp like this next to a chair or sofa in your livingroom you can pivot the light to the right position for reading or task lighting.
If you are really intersted in this lamp you can get a good deal by shopping on http://www.allmodernlighting.com/Lights-Up%21-C158434.html and using promo code lighttweet5
