Since the light is more ambient in nature and not suited for tasks, you can choose different colored lights for these fixtures to create a dim effect in the room.
3. Standing Elegance

Floor lamps can be used as excellent decorative items to cover up empty spaces or corners in large living rooms and study rooms.

Hence, no matter what design, color and shape you choose, make sure it goes along with rest of the décor items in that space.
